Battery Installation

and Recharging

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the RR-1090 Universal

Remote Control. The RR-1090 can replace up to eight

infrared remote controls, operating audio or video

components from Rotel and other manufacturers. The

RR-1090 includes command sets for hundreds of au-

dio/video components plus it can learn additional

commands from your existing remotes. Operation

of the RR-1090 is simple and intuitive using just a

few buttons and a large LCD menu display.

The RR-1090 includes 4 AA rechargeable nickel hy-

dride batteries and a 9V DC adaptor/recharger.

When the batteries are weak and need to be re-

charged, a “LOW BATTERY” indicator appears in

the display.

To install the batteries, turn the RR-1090 over

and lift the cover off the battery compartment

by pressing the release tab and lifting up. Place the

four AA batteries inside (follow the polarity illustra-

tions on the bottom of the compartment) and replace

the cover.

Key Features

•

Simple programming using built-in command sets

for hundreds of components

To recharge batteries, insert the adaptor cable

into the connector on the left side of the RR-1090

. Plug the power adaptor/recharger into an AC

wall outlet (USA: 120V/60Hz or Europe: 230V/

50Hz). A “CHARGING” indicator appears in the

display while the adaptor is plugged in.

•

Pre-programmed to operate Rotel components.

Teach the RR-1090 additional commands from

other remotes.

•

Getting Started

See Figure 1

Sensible Precautions

•

The RR-1090 is rugged, but it is not indestructi-

ble. So please don’t drop it!

Please review the following controls and features of

the RR-1090:

•

Do not expose the RR-1090 to moisture. To clean

the RR-1090, use a soft, lint-free damp cloth. Avoid

harsh cleaning solvents.

IR Emitter/Sensor

The IR Emitter/Sensor is located in the top edge of

the RR-1090. It sends the IR commands and must

be pointed at the desired component. It also receives

IR codes from your other remotes during the LEARN-

ING process or when duplicating the configuration

settings from one RR-1090 to another.

•

Don’t try to take the RR-1090 apart. Disassem-

bly will void the warranty.

RR-1090

Device Buttons

MACRO Buttons

Eight round buttons on the RR-1090 select which

command set is active and which component will

be controlled. For example, press the AV1 button

and the RR-1090 becomes the remote control for your

Rotel Surround Sound Processor. Press the TV but-

ton and the RR-1090 becomes the remote control

for your TV set.

Four buttons labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4 provide

a special macro function – sending a sequence of

up to 10 commands. For example, a macro sequence

could turn on the TV set, select channel 5, turn on

the surround processor, and select the TV input.

Two of the MACRO buttons (M3 and M4) are also

used in customizing the RR-1090.

To operate the RR-1090, first press the DEVICE key

for the desired component. Then, press basic or menu

COMMAND buttons to send the infrared commands

for that component.

Menu Button

This button activates and selects between a series

of menu screens in the LCD display used for custom-

izing the RR-1090. The MENU button is not used

during normal operation.

NOTE: TheAV1,AV2, andAV3 DEVICE keys can be

used for any type of component.

Power Button

Basic Command Buttons

In addition to serving as a basic command button,

the POWER button is also used during the SETUP

procedure when searching the database of IR com-

mand codes.

The POWER button on the right side of the remote

plus two large round 4-way buttons and two smaller

round buttons in the center of the RR-1090 duplicate

the primary functions for your components – power,

volume, channel up/down, play, fast forward, pause,

etc. The commands for each button vary, depend-

ing on the selected DEVICE button.

Serial Connector

This 4-pin modular connector on the back of the

RR-1090 can be used to connect the remote to a

standard DB-9 serial connector on a PC using the

supplied cable.

Menu Command Keys

and LCD Display

At the top of the RR-1090 is a group of 12 rectan-

gular buttons surrounding an LCD display. These

MENU COMMAND keys provide additional func-

tions shown by menu labels appearing in the dis-

play adjacent to each button.

Using PC-LINK software supplied with the unit, codes

and commands can be uploaded and/or down-

loaded from a Windows^®95/98 computer to the

RR-1090 remote. This allows easy transfer of one

remote’s programming to other RR-1090 remotes as

well as simplified customization. See the section on

PC-LINK software in this manual.

The function of these buttons varies depending on

the type of component selected by the DEVICE but-

tons and the menu page displayed.

PAGE Button

Each component selected by a DEVICE button can

have up to 48 menu commands. These commands

appear in the LCD display in groups (or pages) of

twelve. Press the PAGE button to advance to the next

page of commands, with new labels appearing in

the LCD display. Each press of the PAGE button jumps

to the next group for that component, eventually cy-

cling back to the original page.

PC-Link Software

Loading and Saving Configuration Files

The Windows^®95/98 PC-LINK software provided

with the RR-1090 remote can be used to work with

complete configuration files for the RR-1090 remote.

These configuration files contain a complete set of

options, command sets, macros, and custom labels

to fully customize a RR-1090 remote. The configu-

ration files can be saved to or opened from the hard

disk. They can also be uploaded from or downloaded

to the RR-1090 using the supplied serial cable. This

provides a convenient way to transfer the desired

programming to a number of RR-1090 remotes.

To use the PC-LINK software, you open a configura-

tion file which appears in the main PC-Link screen

as shown in the illustration at the front of the manual.

These configuration files can be stored on your com-

puter disk with the file extension “*.HTR”.

NOTE: The factory default configuration file

“DEFAULT.HTR” is installed in the DEFAULT

subdirectory of the HT2000 installation directory.

To open a configuration file from a com-

puter disk:

1. Select OPEN from the FILE menu.

2. Use the dialog box to find the DEFAULT.HTR

configuration file (or the file of your choice).

3. Click the OPEN button.
