and ease of operation.
Please take a few moments to read this user guide.
You’ll find the time well spent as it will significantly
shorten your search for remote control sanity.
Some Preliminary Precautions
• The RR-939 is surprisingly rugged but it is not
indestructible. So please don’t drop it — particularly
not on a concrete floor! With normal care, the
RR-939’s low maintenance design will let you enjoy its
convenience for years to come.
• When the RR-939 needs a bit of cleaning, use a soft,
lint-free damp cloth.
• Above all, don’t try to take the RR-939 apart. There
isn’t anything inside you can fix anyway and disassembly will void the warranty.
Battery Installation
Remove the RR-939 and the package of 4 AAA batteries
from the packing material. Turn the RR-939 over and lift
the cover off the battery compartment by compressing
the release tab and lifting up.

Using the RR-939
The RR-939 can replace up to eight different remote
controls. Stored in memory are control codes to operate your specific audio/video components, selected
from hundreds of models in the RR-939’s extensive database. Programming the RR-939 to operate your components takes just minutes and need only be done once.
See the PROGRAMMING section of this manual for
easy to follow instructions.

REMOTE CONTROL RR-939
RR-939
Once the programming is complete, you select a component with the press of a button and turn the RR-939 into
the remote control for your Rotel CD player or your Sony
TV set or your Panasonic video recorder. Then, you simply
press command buttons that duplicate the functions on
the remote that came with your component.
To get started, look at the layout of the RR-939 and the following operating instructions:
Device Buttons
1
Eight buttons at the top of the RR-939 determine which set
of commands is currently active. For example, if you press
the AUDIO button (labeled AUD), the RR-939 becomes the
remote control for your Rotel Surround Sound Processor.
If you press the TV button, the RR-939 becomes the remote control for your TV set.
These buttons are also used in programming the RR-939.
See the PROGRAMMING section below for details.
Command Buttons
2
This large group of buttons duplicates the functions on
the remote controls for your audio/video components. A
general description of these functions follows. Detailed
information on the specific function of each button can be
found in the CONTROL COMMANDS tables at the back of
this manual.
At the top of this group of buttons are basic controls such
as Power, Volume, Channel Selection, etc.
To operate the RR-939:
Step One: Press a DEVICE button to activate the commands for the desired component. This command set will
remain active until you press a different DEVICE button.
Step Two: Press COMMAND buttons to operate the component you have selected.
Remember that the COMMAND buttons duplicate many
controls on many different types of audio/video components and their function may vary depending on the type
of component selected. For example, the PLAY/SELECT
button engages the play mode on a CD Player, but it duplicates the SELECT function on a cable TV converter.
Note: The RR-939 tells you which command set is active.
Each time you press a COMMAND button, the active DEVICE key blinks red to tell you which component you are
controlling. If the COMMAND button that you press has
no function in the active command set (for example, the
numeric keys in VCR mode), no DEVICE button will blink,
indicating that the COMMAND button is inactive.
The COMMAND buttons are labelled, often with multiple
labels if the button serves different purposes for different
kinds of components. As long as you remember that
pressing a DEVICE button turns the RR-939 into, for example, a CD player remote control or a VCR remote control, the functions of each button should be intuitive.
Tables listing the function of each button for each type of
component can be found in the back of this manual.
Below these is a group of buttons that duplicate the
transport functions on a tape recorder or VCR (Stop, Play,
Pause, etc.) as well as the Up and Down commands that
might be found on a cable or satellite TV receiver.
The next group of buttons duplicates the numeric keypad
buttons such as might be used for direct track selection
on a CD Player or direct channel selection on a TV set.
Included in this section are special command buttons
providing functions found on various components.
At the bottom of this group of buttons are ten round
source selection buttons labelled CD, TUNER, TAPE, etc.
These duplicate the source input selection buttons on a
receiver, preamplifier, or surround sound processor. The
function of these buttons is not the same as the DEVICE
buttons at the top of the remote control. The DEVICE buttons determine which command set is active on the
RR-939. The source select COMMAND buttons switch inputs on the audio/video component being controlled.
3
A few buttons have a second function, activated by
pressing and releasing the SHIFT button before pressing
the COMMAND button, as described below.
Macro Buttons
3
A macro is a series of individual commands triggered by
pressing one button. Macros make operating a complex
home entertainment system much easier. For example,
think of playing a videotape: You turn on the TV, turn on
the VCR, select the TV input connected to the VCR, and,
finally, put the VCR into Play mode. That’s four separate
commands — and it may take you as many as six pushes
on various buttons to execute them. A macro makes this
simpler by executing all the needed commands with just
one push of a button.
There are five MACRO buttons on the RR-939 – the four
buttons labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4, along with the
POWER button. A sequence of up to eight different com-

REMOTE CONTROL RR-939

mands can be memorized to be replayed automatically
with the press of a MACRO button. See the section, PROGRAMMING MACROS, for more detailed information.
Note: Macro buttons are available only in the AUD, SAT,
and CBL modes. However, you can include switching to a
different DEVICE mode as part of a macro, in order to operate other components.
To replay a MACRO, first activate one of the DEVICE
modes (AUD, SAT, and CBL only). Then, press the desired
MACRO button. If a macro has been programmed for that
button, the RR-939 will replay the memorized sequence of
commands and the DEVICE button will blink red for each
command. If no macro has been programmed, or if macros are not available in that DEVICE mode, nothing will
happen and no DEVICE buttons will blink.
Special Buttons
There are two special function buttons at the bottom of
the RR-939 remote.
The LIGHT button turns on backlighting so you can see
the buttons in a dark room. The lights stay on for 7 seconds and will stay on for an additional 7 seconds each
time another button is pressed.
The SHIFT button activates additional commands for
some buttons. These functions are shown in italics on the
illustrations and in the command tables at the back of this
manual. To activate one of these commands, press and
release the SHIFT button and then press the desired
COMMAND button.

The easiest way to proceed is to find your components
and corresponding three-digit codes from the list of
codes at the end of this manual. If your component is not
listed, there is an alternative auto-search method for finding the right command set.
Three Digit Code Programming
Find your audio/video component in the list at the end of
this manual and note the 3-digit code(s):
Step One: Turn on the component you wish to memorize.
Step Two: Press the corresponding DEVICE button (for ex-
ample, if you are memorizing the command set for a CD
player, press the CD DEVICE button at the top of the
RR-939). While pressing the DEVICE button, simultaneously press the MUTE button and hold both for at least
one second. The DEVICE key will light in red for 20 seconds, indicating that you have entered the program mode.
The next step must be done within this 20 second period,
or the RR-939 will revert to its standard operating mode.
Step Three: Point the RR-939 at the audio/video component and enter the 3-digit code, using the numeric buttons. The DEVICE key will flash each time you enter a
digit. If you have entered the correct code, the component will turn off. If there is more than one 3-digit code for
your brand of source component, continue entering additional 3-digit codes from the list until the component turns
off, indicating that you have found the right one.
Step Four: Store the code number by pressing the corresponding DEVICE button again. The button will blink twice
to confirm the storage of the code in memory.

Programming
The RR-939 can replace up to ten different remote controls, one for each of the eight DEVICE buttons. Before
you use it, you must program the RR-939, i.e. tell it which
audio/video components you wish it to control.
The RR-939 contains hundreds of command sets for various A/V components. Programming the remote involves
selecting the command sets that correspond to the components in your system, and assigning them to the eight
DEVICE buttons by entering a three digit code. This need
only be done once during initial set-up of the RR-939.

Step Five: Test the COMMAND buttons, using the tables
at the back of this manual as a reference for the available
functions. If the functions do not work correctly, repeat
the above steps, with the next available 3-digit code from
the list for your brand of component.
Repeat the steps above for each of up to eight components, assigning each one to the appropriate DEVICE key.
