find the time well spent as it will significantly shorten
your search for remote control sanity.
Some Preliminary Precautions
Please take a few moments to read this user guide. You’ll
• The RR-949 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-949’s
low maintenance design will let you enjoy its convenience for years to come.
• When the RR-949 needs a bit of cleaning, use a soft,
lint-free damp cloth.
2
• Above all, don’t try to take the RR-949 apart. There isn’t
anything inside you can fix anyway and disassembly
will void the warranty.
Battery Installation
Remove the RR-949 and the package of 4 AAA batteries
from the packing material. Turn the RR-949 over and lift
the cover off the battery compartment by compressing
the release tab and lifting up.
Place the four AAA batteries inside (follow the polarity
drawing on the bottom of the compartment) and replace
the cover. MAKE SURE you install the batteries correctly!

Using the RR-949
The RR-949 can replace up to eight different remote controls. Stored in memory are control codes to operate your
specific audio/video components, selected from hun-
3
dreds of models in the RR-949’s extensive database. Programming the RR-949 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.

RR-949
English
Once the programming is complete, you select a component with the press of a button and turn the RR-949 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-949 and the
following operating instructions:
Device Buttons
1
Eight buttons at the top of the RR-949 determine which
set of commands is currently active. For example, if you
press the AUDIO button (labeled AUD), the RR-949 becomes the remote control for your Rotel Surround Sound
Processor. If you press the TV button, the RR-949 becomes the remote control for your TV set.
These buttons are also used in programming the RR-949.
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 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.
Near 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-949. The source select COMMAND buttons switch
inputs on the audio/video component being controlled.
Below the source selection button are five more command buttons: a row of four buttons used to control RDS
functions on tuners and receivers and a ZONE/REC button used for certain functions on preamplifiers, processors, and tape decks.
To operate the RR-949:
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-949 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-949 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.
Shift Button
3
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.
