The Solo universal remote
control
The Solo remote is a sophisticated
‘universal’ backlit remote control that
can control up to eight devices. It is pre-
programmed for use with the Solo and
with its extensive built-in library of codes,
it can also be used with thousands of third
party audio-visual components, such as
TVs, satellite receivers, set-top boxes, PVRs,
etc.
The Solo remote is a ‘learning’ remote, so
you can teach it almost any function from
an old single-device remote.
Inserting batteries into the remote
control
<
Open the battery compartment on
the back of the handset, by removing
its cover.
<
Insert two ‘AAA’ batteries, as indicated
in the battery compartment.
<
Place the battery compartment cover
back firmly into its locked position
with a click.
Using the remote control
Please keep in mind the following when
using the remote control:
<
Ensure there are no obstacles
between the remote control and
the remote sensor on the Solo. The
remote has a range of about 7 metres.
(If the remote sensor is obscured, the
IR remote control input jack on the
rear panel is available. Please consult
your dealer for further information.)
<
Remote operation may become
unreliable if strong sunlight or
fluorescent light is shining on the
remote sensor of the Solo.
<
Replace the batteries when you notice
a reduction in the operating range of
the remote control.
NOTE
<
Incorrect use of batteries can result
in hazards such as leakage and
bursting.
<
Do not mix old and new batteries
together.
<
Do not use non-identical batteries
together – although they may look
similar, different batteries may have
different voltages.
<
Ensure the plus (+) and minus (-)
ends of each battery match the
direction indicated in the battery
compartment.
<
Remove batteries from equipment
that is not going to be used for a
month or more.
<
When disposing of used batteries,
please comply with governmental
or local regulations that apply in
your country or area.
The Solo remote 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.
Useful information
Backlight
A backlight comes on for eight seconds
whenever a key is pressed. This helps
you use the handset in subdued lighting
conditions.
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.
The symbol ‘
*
’ is used in the manual to
indicate a power LED blink.
Timeouts and unassigned keys
Time out – After 30 seconds, the remote
exits the programming state and returns
to normal operation.
Stuck key timeout – After any key is
pressed continuously for 30 seconds,
the remote control stops sending IR
transmission to conserve battery life. The
remote control remains off until all keys
are released.
Unassigned keys – the remote 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
LED flashes five times whenever you press
a button:
* * * * *
If this happens, fit two new AAA alkaline
batteries as soon as possible.
Device mode / Source keys
As the remote can control your Solo
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 Solo. If one of
these keys is pressed briefly, a command
is transmitted to change the source on
the unit.
RADIO
Internal DAB/FM tuner
BT
Internal
Bluetooth
input
MEDIA
Network input (e.g UPnP
devices), USB solid-state
device (e.g. pen drive) input
DISC
Internal disc player
AV
Audio-Visual HDMI input
SAT
Satellite HDMI input
PVR
Personal Video Recorder
HDMI input
GAME
Game console HDMI input
LINE
Phono jack analogue audio
input
AUX
3.5mm analogue audio input
STB
Set Top Box coaxial digital
input
TV
TV optical audio input
Each device mode changes the behaviour
of many of the remote keys to control the
source device appropriately. For example:
in
DISC
mode
9
plays the previous CD
track, but in
AV
mode
9
issues the TV
‘channel down’ command.
The remote control 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. The
OK
key confirms a setting.
Volume control
By default, the remote control is set up so
that the volume control and mute buttons
(VOL
5
, VOL
6
and
MUTE
) always control
the volume of the Solo, 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 Solo 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 Solo without first having to press the
AMP
key 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.
Customising the Solo
remote
The remote control offers a code learning
feature that allows you to copy up to 16
functions from an original remote control
onto the remote keypad. For details of
this, and other customisation features, see
“customising the remote” on page E-22.
