The Cr102 remains in the last selected Device Mode 

so it is not necessary to press a Device Mode key before 

every command key if all you are doing is playing or 

skipping tracks on a CD, for example.

navigation keys

The navigation keys steer the cursor in Setup 

menus or on-screen menus. They also replicate 

the navigation functions of original remotes 

supplied with other home entertainment 

devices in your system. 

O

 confirms a setting. 

Volume control

By default, the Cr102 is set up so that the volume 

control buttons always control the volume of the 

AVr360, regardless of which Device Mode the remote 

is currently set for. This is known as volume ‘punch 

through’. 
For example, if you are listening to a CD, you will 

probably have the Cr102 in 

CD

 Device Mode to control 

the CD player. You can use the volume controls on the 

remote directly to adjust the volume of the AVr360 

without first having to press 

A

 to put the remote 

into 

AMP

 Device Mode. The volume buttons ‘punch 

through’ the 

CD

 Device Mode on the remote to the 

AMP

 

Device Mode. Volume ‘punch through’ can be disabled 

individually for any Device Mode if desired.

useful information

backlight

A blue backlight comes on for five seconds whenever 

a key is pressed. This helps you use the handset in 

subdued lighting conditions. It may be possible to hear a 

quiet tone being emitted from the remote control when 

the backlight is on. This is perfectly normal.

Power led blinks

Short blinks indicate a valid key press.
Multiple short blinks convey information (such as a 

device code) or signal the beginning and successful 

completion of a programming sequence.
Long blinks indicate an invalid key press or entry.
The symbol ‘

*

’ is used in the manual to indicate a 

power LED blink.

Timeouts and unassigned keys

Time out – After 10 seconds the Cr102 exits the 

programming state and returns to normal operation.
Stuck key timeout – After any key is pressed 

continuously for 30 seconds, the Cr102 stops sending 

Ir transmission to conserve battery life. The Cr102 

remains off until all keys are released.
Unassigned keys – the Cr102 ignores any unassigned 

key presses for a particular Device Mode and does not 

transmit Ir.

low voltage indicator

When the batteries are running down, the Ir transmit 

indicator on the CD102 (the LED under the Power 

button) flashes five times whenever you press a button:

*

 

*

 

*

 

*

 

*

If this happens, please fit four new AAA alkaline 

batteries as soon as possible. 

device Mode / Source keys

As the Cr102 can control your AVr360 as well as a 

range of other equipment, many of the buttons have 

more than one function depending on the ‘device mode’ 

selected on the remote control.
The Device Mode keys (shown below) select the source 

on the AVr360. If one of these keys is pressed briefly, 

a command is transmitted to change the source on the 

AVr360. Also the functionality of the remote control 

changes to operate the selected source device. it’s like 

having eight different remotes in your hand!

DVD

DVD player or Blu-ray Disc player

SAT

Satellite set-top box

AV

Audio-visual sound input (use with TV)

TUN

DAB, FM or AM tuner

AMP

Controls the amplifier and setup features 

of the AVr360

PVR

Auxiliary input, or an iPod® via an 

Arcam irDock or drDock

VCR

Personal Video recorder (or Digital 

Video recorder)

CD

Compact Disc player

If you press and hold a Device Mode key for about four 

seconds, you change the Device Mode of the Cr102 

without

 changing the signal source on the AVr360. This 

can also be done by pressing 

S

 followed by a Device 

Mode key (within two seconds). These two methods 

allow you to change which device the Cr102 controls 

without also changing the AVr360 source, allowing 

uninterrupted listening.
Each Device Mode changes the behaviour of many 

of the Cr102 keys to control the source device 

appropriately. For example:
In 

CD

 mode 

0

 plays the previous CD track.

In 

AV

 mode 

0

 issues the TV ‘channel down’ command.

The cR102 complies with Part 15 of the 

Fcc rules

This equipment has been tested and found to 

comply with the limits for a class B digital device, 

pursuant to part 15 of the FCC rules. These limits 

are designed to provide a reasonable protection 

against harmful interference in a residential 

installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can 

radiated radio frequency energy and if not installed 

and used in accordance with the instructions, 

may cause harmful interference to radio 

communications. However, there is no guarantee 

that interference will not occur in a particular 

installation. If this equipment does cause harmful 

interference to radio or television reception, which 

can be determined by turning the equipment off 

and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct 

the interference by one or more of the following 

measures: 
reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 
Increase the separation between the equipment and 

receiver. 
Connect the equipment into an outlet or a circuit 

different from that to which the receiver is 

connected. 
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV 

technician for help.
