Setting up your remote to operate 

other manufacturer’s equipment

You will probably wish to operate other equipment 

in your media suite from your CR100 remote. TVs, 

VCRs, satellite and cable boxes are, in most ca ses, 

easily added to the CR100’s repertoire.
For example, to program your TV into the CR100...

1.  Look up the four-digit device code in the 

CR100 Handbook and make a note of it.

 

(There are hundreds of devices listed, but if 

your TV is not listed, you can try the ‘Search’ 
method or other techniques described in 
the CR100 Handbook.)

2.  Press the 

AV

 key on the remote (for a TV).

3.  Press and hold 

SHIFT

 until the red 

2

 LED 

blinks twice.

4.  Enter the four-digit device code for your TV 

make and model.

5.  Aim the CR100 at the TV’s infrared sensor 

and press Power (

2

). If the TV switches off, 

it’s because it’s already under the CR100’s 
command!

6.  Turn your TV back on and try all the 

remote’s functions to check they are 
working properly.

 

(If not all the functions work properly, you 

may need to repeat steps 1 to 5 with 
another code for the same manufacturer.)

Full details are given in the CR100 Handbook.

Maintaining reliability

Please keep in mind the following when using the 
remote control: 

<

  Make sure there are no obstacles between the 

remote control and the remote sensor on Solo 
Movie 5.1. The remote has a range of about 
seven meters. (If the remote sensor is obscured, 
the remote control input jack on the rear panel 
is available – contact your dealer for further 
information.)

<

  Remote operation may become unreliable if 

strong sunlight or fluorescent light is shining on 
the front panel remote sensor.

<

  Replace the batteries when you notice a 

reduction in the operating range of the remote 
control.
