Introduction

This remote is a custom replacement and is not an original Integra product. It is engineered to provide full functionality for the compatible Integra models without requiring complex programming.
Setup
1. Battery Installation
The remote control requires 4 AAA alkaline batteries for operation. Follow these steps to install the batteries:
- Locate the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
- Slide the battery compartment cover downwards to open it.
- Insert 4 AAA batteries, ensuring the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals align correctly with the indicators inside the compartment.
- Slide the battery compartment cover back into place until it clicks securely.
Note: Always use new batteries and replace all batteries at the same time. Do not mix old and new batteries or different types of batteries.
2. Initial Use
This Redi-Remote replacement remote control is pre-programmed for immediate use with the specified Integra models: RC-553C and CDC-3.4. No additional programming steps are required. Simply install the batteries and point the remote towards your Integra unit to begin operation.

Operating Instructions
This remote control is designed to replicate the functions of the original remote for your Integra RC-553C and CDC-3.4 units. It operates using infrared (IR) technology, requiring a direct line of sight to the Integra component.
Basic Functions
- Power On/Off: Use the dedicated power button to turn your Integra unit on or off.
- Input Selection: Buttons for selecting various audio/video inputs on your Integra receiver.
- Volume Control: Adjust the master volume level using the volume up/down buttons.
- Navigation: Use the directional arrow buttons and 'Enter' or 'OK' button for menu navigation.
- Playback Controls: For the CDC-3.4 CD changer, use play, pause, stop, skip, and fast forward/rewind buttons.
Accessing Hidden Functions
The remote control features a sliding cover over its lower half. This cover conceals additional, model-specific functions. To access these functions:
- Locate the sliding cover on the lower section of the remote.
- Gently slide the cover downwards to reveal the additional buttons.
- After use, you may slide the cover back up to protect the buttons.
Maintenance
Battery Replacement
When the remote control's performance degrades, or if the indicator light (if present) does not illuminate, it is time to replace the batteries. Refer to the 'Battery Installation' section for detailed instructions.
Cleaning
To clean the remote control, use a soft, dry cloth. For stubborn dirt, lightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or excessive moisture, as these can damage the remote's surface or internal components.
Troubleshooting
If you experience issues with your Redi-Remote replacement remote control, please consult the following common problems and solutions:
- Remote is not responding:
- Ensure the batteries are correctly installed and are not depleted. Replace them if necessary.
- Check for any obstructions between the remote control and the Integra unit's infrared sensor.
- Ensure you are within the maximum operating range of 20 feet.
- Verify that the remote is pointed directly at the Integra unit.
- Only some functions work:
- Confirm that the remote is compatible with your specific Integra model (RC-553C or CDC-3.4).
