Use only fresh batteries of the required size and rec­ommended type. When the battery voltage is low, the
LCD Display will start to fade. 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 HR078 Remote Control supplied with
the McIntosh A/V Control Center controls a McIn­tosh Component System, but also have the ability of
controlling non McIntosh Components in your system.
Refer to figure 1.

The HR078 Remote Control has stored in perma­nent memory the necessary information to send the
correct IR (Infra Red) command codes for the compo­nent to be controlled. This is accomplished by either
entering a four digit numeric code or by searching for
the numeric code.

The HR078 also has the ability to learn IR codes
for components without the built-in four digit numeric
code commands.

1. Open the battery compartment cover (located on
the back of the remote).

2. Place the AAA Batteries in the compartment and
match the + and - polarity symbols inside.

3. Replace the cover.

To Program this Remote Control, first find the codes
for the component(s) you want to program (starting on
page 4) and then follow the steps below:

1. Turn on the component (in this example, the TV).

2. Press and hold in the Assigned Input Source (TV)
Push-button along with the SET Push-button until
the IR Send Indicator f lashes twice on the LCD
Display. Refer to
figures 4 and 1.

3. Release both Push­buttons. The LCD
Window should now be illuminated and the rear
lighting of the Push-buttons should now be flash­ing.

4. Enter the four-digit code (using the numeric push­buttons) for the brand of TV component you wish
to program. The just entered component code
number will appear on the LCD Display followed
by “OK”. Refer to figure 2.

Note: If the LCD

Display
does not
indicate OK
or indicates
NG (not a valid code) check the number and
try entering the code again.

5. Referring to figure 4, aim the IR Emitter end of
the McIntosh Remote Control at the component
and press Power Off. The TV should turn Off. If
it does not, repeat steps 2–5, 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 page 7.

Note: There might be more than one Program
