Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the RR-1090 Universal
Remote Control. The RR-1090 can replace up to eight
infrared remote controls, operating audio or video
components from Rotel and other manufacturers. The
RR-1090 includes command sets for hundreds of audio/video components plus it can learn additional
commands from your existing remotes. Operation
of the RR-1090 is simple and intuitive using just a
few buttons and a large LCD menu display.
Key Features
• Simple programming using built-in command sets
for hundreds of components
• Pre-programmed to operate Rotel components.
• Teach the RR-1090 additional commands from
other remotes.
• LCD display provides simple menu-driven operation with customizable labels for every command.
• Backlighting for ease of use in dark rooms along
with optional beep whenever a button is pressed.
• Four MACRO keys send a sequence of up to 10
commands with the press of a button.
• Includes rechargeable batteries and charger.
• Serial cable and software for programming
RR-1090 from any Windows® 95/98 computer.
Sensible Precautions
• The RR-1090 is rugged, but it is not indestructible. So please don’t drop it!
• Do not expose the RR-1090 to moisture. To clean
the RR-1090, use a soft, lint-free damp cloth. Avoid
harsh cleaning solvents.
• Don’t try to take the RR-1090 apart. Disassembly will void the warranty.
Battery Installation and Recharging
The RR-1090 includes 4 AA rechargeable nickel hydride batteries and a 9V DC adaptor/recharger.
When the batteries are weak and need to be recharged, a “LOW BATTERY” indicator appears in
the display.
To install the batteries, turn the RR-1090 over
and lift the cover off the battery compartment
by pressing the release tab and lifting up. Place the
four AA batteries inside (follow the polarity illustrations on the bottom of the compartment) and replace
the cover.
To recharge batteries, insert the adaptor cable
into the connector on the left side of the RR-1090
. Plug the power adaptor/recharger into an AC
wall outlet (USA: 120V/60Hz or Europe: 230V/
50Hz). A “CHARGING” indicator appears in the
display while the adaptor is plugged in.
Leave charger operating overnight for a full charge.
The remote can be operated with the charger plugged
in while the batteries are charging.
NOTE
: You can use conventional alkaline AA batter-
ies instead of the rechargeable batteries shipped
with the RR-1090; however, do not use the power
adaptor/charger with alkaline batteries.
Getting Started
See Figure 1
Please review the following controls and features of
the RR-1090:
IR Emitter/Sensor
The IR Emitter/Sensor is located in the top edge of
the RR-1090. It sends the IR commands and must
be pointed at the desired component. It also receives
IR codes from your other remotes during the LEARNING process or when duplicating the configuration
settings from one RR-1090 to another.
8 RR-1090
Device Buttons
Eight round buttons on the RR-1090 select which
command set is active and which component will
be controlled. For example, press the AV1 button
and the RR-1090 becomes the remote control for your
Rotel Surround Sound Processor. Press the TV button and the RR-1090 becomes the remote control
for your TV set.
To operate the RR-1090, first press the DEVICE key
for the desired component. Then, press basic or menu
COMMAND buttons to send the infrared commands
for that component.
NOTE
: The AV1, AV2, and AV3 DEVICE keys can be
used for any type of component.
Basic Command Buttons
The POWER button on the right side of the remote
plus two large round 4-way buttons and two smaller
round buttons in the center of the RR-1090 duplicate
the primary functions for your components – power,
volume, channel up/down, play, fast for ward, pause,
etc. The commands for each button vary, depending on the selected DEVICE button.
Menu Command Keys and LCD Display
At the top of the RR-1090 is a group of 12 rectangular buttons surrounding an LCD display. These
MENU COMMAND keys provide additional functions shown by menu labels appearing in the display adjacent to each button.
The function of these buttons varies depending on
the type of component selected by the DEVICE buttons and the menu page displayed.
MACRO Buttons
Four buttons labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4 provide
a special macro function – sending a sequence of
up to 10 commands. For example, a macro sequence
could turn on the TV set, select channel 5, turn on
the surround processor, and select the TV input.
Two of the MACRO buttons (M3 and M4) are also
used in customizing the RR-1090.
Menu Button
This button activates and selects between a series
of menu screens in the LCD display used for customizing the RR-1090. The MENU button is not used
during normal operation.
Power Button
In addition to serving as a basic command button,
the POWER button is also used during the SETUP
procedure when searching the database of IR command codes.
Serial Connector
This 4-pin modular connector on the back of the
RR-1090 can be used to connect the remote to a
standard DB-9 serial connector on a PC using the
supplied cable.
Using PC-LINK software supplied with the unit, codes
and commands can be uploaded and/or downloaded from a Windows® 95/98 computer to the
RR-1090 remote. This allows easy transfer of one
remote’s programming to other RR-1090 remotes as
well as simplified customization. See the section on
PC-LINK software in this manual.
PAGE Button
Each component selected by a DEVICE button can
have up to 48 menu commands. These commands
appear in the LCD display in groups (or pages) of
twelve. Press the PAGE button to advance to the next
page of commands, with new labels appearing in
the LCD display. Each press of the PAGE button jumps
to the next group for that component, eventually cycling back to the original page.

Operating the RR-1090
This section of the manual explains the basic operation
of the RR-1090 and most of its standard features.
NOTE
: The RR-1090 is pre-programmed with the
codes for Rotel surround sound processors stored
under the AV1 device button. Rotel CD and DVD
codes are stored under the CD and DVD buttons.
Activating the RR-1090
To conserve battery power, the RR-1090 goes into
“sleep” mode following 60 seconds of inactivity. Press
any button to activate the remote. Labels appear in
the LCD display when the remote is active
Sending IR Commands
Instead of using multiple remotes to operate your
system, you simply press a button on the RR-1090
to make it the remote control for your CD player or
the remote control for your TV set and send commands to operate the desired component. Here’s how:
1. Press any button on the RR-1090 to activate the
remote (if necessary).
2. Press a DEVICE button to activate the command set for the desired component. For example,
press the AV1 button for a Rotel surround processor. The label for your selected device appears
in the center of the display.
3. Press a COMMAND button
to send an IR command to the component you
have selected. For example, press the VOL+ command to increase the volume on a Rotel surround
processor. Basic commands are available on the
large round buttons in the center
of the remote and the POWER button . Additional commands are available on the 12 MENU
COMMAND keys at the top of the remote,
corresponding to the command labels visible in
the LCD display. While a COMMAND button
is being pressed, the label associated with that
command replaces the DEVICE name in the center
of the display.
4. Press the PAGE button to see the next page
of 12 available menu commands in the display.
Up to four “pages” of commands may be available for a particular component. Press the PAGE
button repeatedly to cycle through all available
groups of commands for that component.
Figure 3.
NOTE
: The COMMAND buttons duplicate controls
on many different types of components. Their function depends on the type of component selected.
Make sure that you have pressed the correct DEVICE button before sending IR commands.
Sending Macro Commands
Four buttons on the RR-1090 (labeled M1, M2, M3,
and M4) can store multiple command macro sequences – for example, a sequence that turns on the
TV set, selects channel 5, turns on the surround processor, and selects the TV input. A macro sequence
is sent by pressing the MACRO button where the
macro is stored.
See
Programming Command Codes
The RR-1090 contains hundreds of command sets
for components. Programming the remote involves
selecting the command sets that correspond to the
components in your system and assigning each of
them to one of the eight DEVICE buttons by entering the 4-digit code for that component. This need
only be done once during initial setup of the RR-1090.
The easiest way is to find your components and
corresponding 4-digit codes from the list of codes

PC-Link Software
The Windows® 95/98 PC-LINK software provided
with the RR-1090 remote can be used to work with
complete configuration files for the RR-1090 remote.
These configuration files contain a complete set of
options, command sets, macros, and custom labels
to fully customize a RR-1090 remote. The configuration files can be saved to or opened from the hard
disk. They can also be uploaded from or downloaded
to the RR-1090 using the supplied serial cable. This
provides a convenient way to transfer the desired
programming to a number of RR-1090 remotes.
In addition, many of the configuration options for
the RR-1090 can be modified in the PC-LINK software, a procedure that may be more convenient than
using the RR-1090’s own setup menus.
Installing PC-LINK Software
To install and run the PC-LINK software on a Windows® 95/98 computer:
1. Insert DISK 1 in your disk drive.
2. Run the program SETUP.EXE, either by doubleclicking the filename in Windows® Explorer or
by clicking RUN from the START button menu and
typing A:SETUP.EXE.
3. Follow the steps in the setup program, accepting the default directory for the installation of the
program (C:\PROGRAMS\HT2000) or specifying a new location using the BROWSE button.
4. You will be prompted to insert DISK 2 during the
installation. When the files are installed, you will
be prompted to restart your computer to complete the installation.
5. Run the PC-LINK software either by double-clicking
the filename HT2000.EXE in Windows® Explorer
or by clicking RUN from the START button menu
and typing C:\PROGRAMS\HT2000.EXE.
Loading and Saving Configuration Files
To use the PC-LINK software, you open a configuration file which appears in the main PC-Link screen
as shown in the illustration at the front of the manual.
These configuration files can be stored on your computer disk with the file extension “*.HTR”.

“DEFAULT.HTR” is installed in the DEFAULT
subdirectory of the HT2000 installation directory.
To open a configuration file from a computer disk:
1. Select OPEN from the FILE menu.
2. Use the dialog box to find the DEFAULT.HTR
configuration file (or the file of your choice).
3. Click the OPEN button.
17English
To save a configuration file to a computer
disk:
1. To save a configuration file with the same name,
select SAVE from the FILE menu. The new file will

Uploading and Downloading Configuration Files
Using the PC-LINK software and the supplied serial
cable, you can upload and download a configuration file from the RR-1090 remote to your computer.
For example, you could upload the configuration

from the PORT menu.
Put the RR-1090 in DATA TRANSFER mode:
1. Press the MENU button to reach the main setup
menu.
2. Press the PAGE button to advance to the second

2. Select UPLOAD from the FILE menu in the PC-LINK
software. An “UPLOADING…” prompt appears
in the remote’s LCD screen during the transfer.
3. When the upload is complete, the configuration
file will be opened in the PC-LINK software, where
it can be modified, downloaded to another
RR-1090, or saved to the computer disk.
To download a configuration file from the
computer to the RR-1090:
1. Make sure the RR-1090 is in data transfer mode.

Modifying Configuration Files
The PC-LINK software can be used to see the current settings of an open configuration file and modify
many of them. The modified configuration file can
then be saved to a disk or downloaded to a RR-1090.
Here are the available options in the PC-LINK software:
To select a DEVICE to be viewed or modified, chose the device from the DEVICE menu. The
key names and other settings for that device are
displayed in the PC-LINK screen.
To rename a DEVICE, select DEVICE NAME from
the EDIT menu or double-click the DEVICE box on
the main screen. Type the new name in the dialog
box and click OK.
