inserting batteries into the 

remote control

1.  Open the battery compartment by pressing 

the button on the back of the handset.

2.  Insert four ‘AAA’ batteries into the battery 

compartment – two facing the top of the unit, 

and two facing the end, as in the diagram.

3.  Lower the end cap onto the plastic locating 

plate in the handset. This acts as a hinge, and 

you can now push the end cap firmly into its 

locked position with a click.

The cR90 universal remote 

controller

The CR90 is a sophisticated ‘universal’ remote control 

that can control up to eight devices. It’s pre-programmed 

for use with the A28 and many other Arcam products 

(FM/DAB tuners, CD players and DVD players). 
With its extensive built-in library of codes, it can also be 

used with thousands of other audio-visual components 

– TVs, satellite and set-top boxes, PVRs and third-party 

CD players. See the final section of the CR90 Handbook 

for a list of these.
The CR90 is a ‘learning’ remote, so you can teach it 

almost any function from an old single-device remote. 

You can also program the CR90 to issue a sequence of 

commands (‘macros’) from a single button press – see 

the CR90 Handbook for details

.

As the CR90 is a system remote controller, some of 

the keys are not used with the A28. For instance, the 

pVR

 and 

CD

 keys can still be programmed to control 

products, so if you have a PVR connected directly to 

your TV or SAT box, you can use the CR90 to control it 

as part of your system.

control

Source keys

As the CR90 can control your A28 as well as a range of 

other equipment, many of the buttons have more than 

one function depending on the ‘device mode’ or ‘page’ 

selected.
The device selection keys: 

DVD

SAT

AV

 (TV), 

TUN

AMp

 

and 

AUX

, both select the source and configure the CR90 

to control the particular source.
In other words, the buttons are often ‘context sensitive’ 

so you’ll have to tell it what sort of device you wish 

to control (press the 

AV

 button for a video display, for 

example) before you can control it.

Select the source key first

Remember to select a source key before pressing 

command buttons – commands vary depending on the 

source selected!
