Introduction

The HR085 Remote Control is supplied with McIntosh

Preamplifiers, Integrated Amplifiers and Tuners.

The HR085 Remote Control has the ability to learn

and store Remote Control (RC) Commands from

three non-McIntosh Components. The RC Commands

stored in the HR085 can be accessed by using the

"DEVICE" Push-button together with the LED Indica-

tors to select one of the three (TV, CABLE or AUX).

Refer to figure 1 and the instructions starting on page

3 on "How to Learn and Store Commands".

Remote Control Codes

The HR085 Remote Control has been factory con-

figured for the "Normal" McIntosh Control Codes

used with most models. There is a set of "Alternate"

McIntosh Control Codes for the HR085 Remote Con-

trol. "This Alternate Control Code" is to be used when

there are two McIntosh Models (A/V Control Center,

Integrated Amplifier or Preamplifier) in the same

location at the same time. This will prevent the HR085

Remote Control from adversely affecting the opera-

tion of the units. Refer to figure 1 when performing

the steps below.

Note: Refer to the "Setup" Section of the Owner's

Manual supplied with the A/V Control Center,

Integrated Amplifier and/or Preamplifier for ad-

ditional information about using the "Alternate

Control Codes".

To change the HR085 from "Normal" to "Alternate"

Control Codes perform the following steps:

1. To change from the "Normal" to "Alternate"

Control Codes, press and hold the SELECT and

number 2 Push-buttons simultaneously (for about

8 seconds) until the Device Select

LED

flashes twice.

2. Referring to the SETUP Steps outlined in the

McIntosh Model Owner's Manual, change one of

the two Models over to the "Alternate" Codes.

3. Press the VOLume Up/ Down Push-button

on the Remote Control to verify proper operation

using the Alternate Codes.

To change the HR085 from "Alternate" to "Normal"

Control Codes perform the following steps:

1. To change from the "Alternate" to "Normal"

Control Codes, press hold the SELECT and

number 1 Push-buttons simultaneously (for about

8 seconds) until the Device Select

LED

flashes once.

2. Refering to the SETUP Steps outlined in the McIntosh Model Owner's Manual change one of the two Model over to the "Normal" Codes.
3. Press the VOLume Up/ Down Push-button on the Remote Control to verify proper operation using the Normal Codes.

How to use the HR085 Learning Capabilities

Preliminary Step
A successful learning process requires adequate IR Signal Strength, both sending and receiving, from the McIntosh HR085 and the other Brand Remote Control. Please make sure the Remote Controls have fresh batteries installed and functioning correctly with their respective component(s) before proceeding.

Signal Strength Test

First perform the following test with the HR085 Re-

mote Control and other Brand Remote Control before

attempting to have the HR085 learn commands from

them.

1. Referring to figure 2, position the remote controls

as illustrated.

2. The HR085 IR sensor must be receiving an

adequate IR signal for the learning process to be

successful.

3. Press and hold in the DEVICE Push-button for

about 4 seconds, and the

LED will flash

twice. This indicates the HR085 Remote Control

is in the Programming Mode. Immediately press

the following number Push-buttons:

9, 1, 0, 0

4. Press and hold in one of the Push-buttons on the

"Other Brand Remote".

5. One or more of the DEVICE LEDs on the HR085

will illuminate (the four LEDs function like a signal strength meter). Change the position of the HR085 or the other brand remote control, to illuminate as many of the four LEDs as possible. After the optimum position has been determined, do not move either remote control until learning process has been completed. 6. Press the DEVICE Push-button to exit the Programming Mode and proceed to "Learning Commands".

Learning Commands

All of the Push-buttons on the HR085 Remote Control

except for the DEVICE Push-button, may be used to

store RC Commands. Before proceeding make sure

the Remote Controls have fresh batteries installed

and the optimum position has been determined. In the following example, the (Play) and the : (Next)

transport commands will be learned from the Other

Brand Remote and stored in the HR085 Remote Con-

trol "AUX" DEVICE. Refer to figure 3 and perform

the following steps:

Note: It is important to perform the learning/storing

steps at a moderate pace, thus preventing drop-

ping out of the Programming Mode.

1. Press and hold in the DEVICE Push-button for

about 4 seconds, the

LED will flash

twice.

2. Using the Numeric Push-buttons on the HR085,

enter in the Programming Code for the selecting

the device (TV, CABLE or AUX) in which the

learned commands will be stored, enter 3004:

Note: The AUX Device will be using in this example.

3. The AUX LED will flash twice, followed by

all four LEDS illuminating. 4. On the HR085, press and release the (Play)

Push-button and three LEDs (TV, CABLE or

AUX) will be illuminated. 5. Then press and hold in the (Play) Push-

button on the Other Brand Remote until the

TV and CABLE LEDs extinguish and just the

AUX LED will be illuminated momentarily.

6. All four LEDs will illuminate on the HR085

Remote Control indicating it is now ready to
