Some Preliminary Precautions
• The RR-939B 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-939B’s low maintenance design will let you enjoy its convenience for years to come.
• When the RR-939B needs a bit of cleaning, use a soft, lint-free damp cloth.
2
• Above all, don’t try to take the RR-939B apart. There isn’t anything inside you can fix anyway and disassem­bly will void the warranty.
Battery Installation
Remove the RR-939B and the package of 4 AAA batteries from the packing material. Turn the RR-939B over and lift the cover off the battery compartment by compressing the release tab and lifting up.

Using the RR-939B
The RR-939B can replace up to eight different remote
RR-939B
controls. Stored in memory are control codes to operate your specific audio/video components, selected from hundreds of models in the RR-939B’s extensive database.

RR-939B
English
Once the programming is complete, you select a compo­nent with the press of a button and turn the RR-939B 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-939B and the following operating instructions:
Device Buttons
1
Eight buttons at the top of the RR-939B determine which set of commands is currently active. For example, if you press the AUDIO button (labeled AUD), the RR-939B be­comes the remote control for your Rotel Surround Sound Processor. If you press the TV button, the RR-939B be­comes the remote control for your TV set.
These buttons are also used in programming the RR-939B. See 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 top of this group of buttons are basic controls such as Power, Volume, Channel Selection, etc.
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-939B. The source select COMMAND buttons switch inputs on the audio/video component being controlled.
To operate the RR-939B:
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-939B 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-939B 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 are supplied with this manual.
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.

RR-939B
English
There are five MACRO buttons on the RR-939B – the four buttons labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4, along with the POWER button. A sequence of up to eight different com­mands 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-939B 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-939B 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. To activate one of these commands, press and release the SHIFT button and then press the desired COMMAND button.

Programming
The RR-939B can replace up to eight different remote controls, one for each of the eight DEVICE buttons. Be­fore you use it, you must program the RR-939B, i.e. tell it which audio/video components you wish it to control.
The RR-939B 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-939B.
The easiest way to proceed is to find your components and corresponding three-digit codes from the list of codes supplied with 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 code list 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
example, if you are memorizing the command set for a CD player, press the CD DEVICE button at the top of the RR-939B). 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-939B will revert to its standard operat­ing mode.
Step Three: Point the RR-939B 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.
Step Five: Test the COMMAND buttons, using the tables 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.
Auto-Search Programming
If the code table does not provide a 3-digit code or if none of the code numbers assigned to your brand of component work, use the following auto-search method to find a code number that will operate your components.
