Introduction

The HR085 Remote Control is supplied with McIntosh
Preamplifiers, Integrated Amplifiers and Tuners.

The HR085 Remote Control has the ability to learn
and store Remote Control (RC) Commands from
three non-McIntosh Components. The RC Commands
stored in the HR085 can be accessed by using the
“DEVICE” Push-button together with the LED Indica­tors to select one of the three (TV, CABLE or AUX).
Refer to figure 1 and the instructions starting on page
3 on “How to Learn and Store Commands”.

Remote Control Codes

The HR085 Remote Control has been factory con­figured for the “Normal” McIntosh Control Codes
used with most models. There is a set of “Alternate”
McIntosh Control Codes for the HR085 Remote Con­trol. “This Alternate Control Code” is to be used when
there are two McIntosh Models (A/V Control Center,
Integrated Amplifier or Preamplifier) in the same
location at the same time. This will prevent the HR085
Remote Control from adversely affecting the opera­tion of the units. Refer to figure 1 when performing
the steps below.

Note: Refer to the “Setup” Section of the Owner’s

Manual supplied with the A/V Control Center,
Integrated Amplifier and/or Preamplifier for ad­ditional information about using the “Alternate
Control Codes”.

To change the HR085 from “Normal” to “Alternate”
Control Codes perform the following steps:

1. To change from the “Normal” to “Alternate”
Control Codes, press and hold the SELECT and
number 2 Push-buttons simultaneously (for about
8 seconds) until the Device Select LED
flashes twice.

2. Referring to the SETUP Steps outlined in the
McIntosh Model Owner’s Manual, change one of
the two Models over to the “Alternate” Codes.

3. Press the VOLume ▲Up/ ▼Down Push-button

on the Remote Control to verify proper operation
using the Alternate Codes.

To change the HR085 from “Alternate” to “Normal”
Control Codes perform the following steps:

1. To change from the “Alternate” to “Normal”
Control Codes, press hold the SELECT and
number 1 Push-buttons simultaneously (for about

flashes once.
