Remote Control
Programming Guide

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.

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.
1. Open the battery compartment cover (located on
the back of the remote).
2. Place the AA batteries in the compartment and
match the + and - polarity symbols inside.
3. Replace the cover.

Program this Remote Control by first find the codes
for the components you want to program (starting on
page 7) 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 (using the numeric
push-buttons) 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 tr y 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 code 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:

Programming a Component
If your component (TV in the Programming a Component example) does not respond to the Remote 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
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 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.

Verify Programmed Codes
At any time, an already entered code to operate a
specific component can be verified. For example, to
find out which code is assigned to your TV perform
the following steps:
1. Press TV once.
2. Press and hold SETUP Push-button until the
Push-button blinks twice, then release.
3. Enter 9 9 0. The Push-button blinks twice.
4. To view the first digit of the stored code press 1.
Count the light blinks (for example, three blinks =
3), and write down the number.
Note: If a code digit is 0, the Push-button 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 component, repeat steps 1—5,
substituting the component push-button you would
like to check.

Due to design of RCA TVs
from 1983 to 1987, only
the original TV Remote

steps below to restore them:
1. Press Push-button on the Remote Control to
be restored to default Command Codes. Refer to
figu re 5.
2. Press and hold SET Push-button until the Pushbutton illumination blinks twice, then release.
3. Enter the five-digit code (using the numeric pushbuttons) for the version of the McIntosh Remote
Control (model number is located near the bottom
of the remote control)
Note: If the McIntosh Component the Remote
Control came with was changed (in the Setup
Mode) to respond to the “Alternate Control
Codes” then enter the Alternate Control Code
five digit number instead of the Normal Control Code Number.
