Overview and

Introduction

The Ayre Multi-Component Backlit Remote
Control can control every remote-equipped Ayre
preamplifier, integrated amplifier, power amplifier,
and audio disc player made to date. The upper
section (above the Ayre logo) has buttons to operate
an audio disc player, while the lower section (below
the Ayre logo) has buttons to operate a preamplifier,
integrated amplifier, or power amplifier.

The very bottom button activates the remote
handset’s backlight, and is placed off by itself so
that it can easily be found by feel in a darkened
room. The unit is backlit with a special fiber optic
array that distributes the light from a single blue
LED to the entire keypad. Each button is fully
illuminated so that the button’s icon can be easily
read. The Multi-Component Backlit Remote
Control makes operation of your audio system easier
than ever.
