HR070 Series
Remote Control
Programming Guide
Introduction
The McIntosh HR070 Series Remote Controls
(HR070, HR071, HR072 and HR073) supplied with
McIntosh Preamplifiers, Integrated Amplifiers, A/V
Control Centers, and Source Components not only
control a McIntosh Component System, but also have
the ability of controlling non McIntosh Components in
your system. Refer to figures 1 through 4
The HR70 Series Remote Controls have stored
in permanent memory the necessary information to
send the correct commands to the component to be
controlled. By entering a five digit numeric code the
commands for controlling the component is activated.
In the event the Remote Control doesn’ t have the
code to control a particular component, the Remote
Control has the ability to learn and store the IR Signals sent out by the Remote Control originally supplied with the component.
Battery Information
Use only fresh batteries of the required size and
recommended type. When the battery voltage is low,
the Push-button will blink 5 times after another
Push-button on the Remote Control is pressed. Do not
mix old and new batteries, different types of batteries
(standard, alkaline, or rechargeable), or rechargeable
batteries of different capacities.
If the Remote Control will not be used for an
extended period, remove the batteries. They
can leak chemicals and destroy the Remote
Control.
When discarding the Remote Control,
comply with local rules or regulations. Batteries should never be thrown away or incinerated but disposed of in accordance with the
local regulations concerning battery disposal.
For additional information please visit the McIntosh Web Site at www.mcintoshlabs.com.

Program this Remote Control by first find the codes
for the components you want to program (starting on
page XX) and then follow the steps below:
1. Turn on the component (in this example, the TV).
2. Press TV Push-button on the Remote Control to be
programmed. Refer to figure 5.
3. Press and hold SET Push-button until the Pushbutton illuminaton blinks twice, then release.
4. Enter the first five-digit code for the component
(TV) and brand that you wish to program. The
Push-button blinks once as each digit is entered. If
the code is valid, the Push-button blinks twice.
Note: If the Push-button does not blink twice, repeat
steps 2 to 4 and try entering the code again.
5. Aim the McIntosh Remote Control at the component and press Power Off. The TV should turn
Off. If it does not, repeat steps 3–5, trying each
code for your brand until you find one that works.
If you cannot find a working TV codes refer to
“Searching Codes” on this page.
Note: There might be more than one Program Code
Number capable of switching power Off to the
TV. Choose the Code Number with the greatest number of desired active commands for the
TV to be controlled.
6. Repeat steps 1 to 5 for the other components you
want to control. For future reference, write down
each working component code below:

Searching for Code
If your component (TV in the Programming a Component example) does not respond to the Remote Control
Control after trying all codes listed for your (TV)
brand, or if your TV brand is not listed, try searching
for your code:
1. Switch On the TV you wish to control.
2. Press the TV Push-button on the Remote Control
Control once.
3. Press and hold SET Push-button until the Pushbutton illuminaton blinks twice, then release.
4. Enter 9 9 1, then the component group number (see
below). The Push-button blinks twice.
Code Number Component Group
0 Cable (Cable Converter, Video Accessories,
Satellite Receivers)
1 TV
2 VCR (VCRs, DVD Players)
3 Audio (Audio Ampliers, Audio Amp
/Tuners, CD Players)
5. Aim the Remote Control Control at the TV and
press Power Off. The Remote Control sends IR
Codes from its library to the selected TV, starting
with the most popular code first. If the component
responds, go to step 7.
6. If the component does not respond, press LEVEL+
Push-button and the Remote Control will test
the next code for that TV type. Continue to press
LEVEL+ Push-button until the TV switches Off.
Note: Press LEVEL- Push Button to try the previous code.
7. Now that you have found the correct code, press
SET to save the code that worked for the TV. The
Push-button will blink twice to indicate the
code has been saved. To search for other component codes, repeat steps 1 to 5.

Checking the Codes
CHECKING THE CODES
If you have set up the remote using the procedure in
“Searching for Your Code”, you may need to find out
which five-digit code is operating your quipment.
For example, to find out which code is assigned to
your TV:
1. Press TV once.
2. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks
twice, then release.
3. Enter 9 9 0. The LED blinks twice.
4. To view the code for the first digit, press 1. Count
the LED blinks (for example, three blinks = 3), and
write down the number in the appropriate code listing
at the top of this column.
NOTE: If a code digit is 0, the LED does not blink.
5. Repeat step 4 for the four remaining digits, using
2 for the second digit, 3 for the third digit, 4 for the
fourth digit, and 5 for the fifth digit.
6. To check for other device codes, repeat steps 1—5,
substituting the device key the desired mode you
would like to check.
USING LEARNING
This universal remote control includes a Learning
feature (some models may not include Learning) so
you can add functions that are unique to your home
entertainment components (e.g.,VCR Tracking Up or
Down). However, there are some
considerations.
Learning Precautions
• Your original remote controls must be in working
order for learning to work properly.
• Learned keys are mode-specific, so each one can
store a unique function for each mode.
• Do not use the following keys for learning: Device
Keys, SETUP, or Record (•).
• Learning capacity is approximately 42 to 75 keys,
depending on the code being learned.
• Certain device functions are not learnable including
multi-frequency types, some
high frequency ones, and other unusual formats.
• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient
fluorescent lights.
NOTE: Please have your original remote controls
handy before programming learning.
Programming a Learned Push-button
Programming a Learned Key
NOTE: If more than 10 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote exits programming.
1. Place the Potenza head-to-head (about 2” apart)
from your original remote control. Also locate the key
(on your original remote control) that you want the
Potenza to learn. Press the mode key you wish to learn
keys on.
2. Press and hold SETUP until the LED blinks twice,
then release.
3. Enter 9 7 5. The LED blinks twice.
NOTE: If the LED displays one long flash instead,
either your batteries are low,
or the Potenza has a memory fault. In either case, the
remote cannot learn a new key.
4. Press the key on the remote you wish to learn onto.
The feedback LED
will blink rapidly for three seconds, suggesting the
remote is ready to learn.
5. On the original remote, press and hold the key to be
learned. Continue
holding the key on the original remote until the Potenza’s LED blinks
twice.
NOTE: If the LED displays one long blink, a learning
error has occurred. Try
repeating this step again until a successful capture occurs. If the function
is still not captured, press and hold SETUP to exit
programming and
review the “Learning Precautions” above. If needed,
also see “Troubleshooting”
below. After review, start programming again at step
1.
6. Repeat steps 4 through 5 for another key you would
like to learn onto.
5
Once you have completed learning all keys, press and
hold SETUP until
the LED blinks twice to save all data learned.
Deleting a Single Learning Key
This process returns the key to its original programming for the mode you
select. You can also delete learned programming by
teaching a different
function to the key (see “Programming a Learned
Key”).
NOTE: If more than 10 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote exits programming.
1. Press the mode key that you wish to remove the
learned key from.
2. Press and hold SETUP until the LED blinks twice,
then release.
3. Enter 9 7 6. The LED blinks twice.
4. Press the key containing the learned function to be
deleted twice. The
LED blinks twice and exits from programming.
Deleting All Learned Keys in a Specific Mode
NOTE: If more than 10 seconds pass between key
presses, the remote exits
programming.
1. Press and hold SETUP until the LED blinks twice,
then release.
2. Press 9 7 6. The LED blinks twice.
3. Press a mode key twice (i.e., TV. VCR/DVD, CBL/
SAT, etc.) to clear all the
learned keys for that mode. The LED blinks twice and
exits from programming.
Volume Lock
CHANGING VOLUME LOCK
The Potenza universal remote control comes preset to
allow independent
volume control of each selected device (Global Volume Unlock). However, you
may change the Volume Lock setting to Global Volume Lock so that one
device’s volume will control volume in all other
modes. After that, you can
perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to set its volume
control for independent operation or Global Volume
Unlock to remove all
volume locking.
Locking Volume Control to One Mode (Global Volume Lock)
1. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks
twice, then release.
2. Enter 9 9 3, the LED blinks twice.
3. Press the mode key for the device you want to control (for example, TV).
4. The LED blinks twice. Now when you press VOL+,
VOL-, or Mute, the
selected device (for example, TV) controls the volume
regardless of the
current mode.
Unlocking All Volume Control (Restoring Global
Unlock)
1. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks
twice, then release.
2. Enter 9 9 3, the LED blinks twice.
3. Press VOL+. The LED blinks four times. Volume is
independently
controlled for all programmed components.
Unlocking a Single Device’s Volume Control
1. Press a device key (TV. VCR/DVD, CBL/ SAT,
etc.).
2. Press and hold SETUP until the red LED blinks
twice, then release.
3. Enter 9 9 3. The LED blinks twice.
4. and then press VOL-. The LED blinks four times.
Volume is independently controlled for the selected
components.
