REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

Remote control introduction

The  iR14  remote  control  will  send  commands  to  Cyrus 

amplifiers,  CD  players,  Audio  streamers*  and  the  Phono 

signature.

The  remote  control  can  also  be  programmed  with  the 

commands from two other remote control handsets. These 

will normally be for your TV and a Satellite or terrestrial TV 

set-top  box, programmed to  the TV  and  SAT  buttons,  but 

could also be other audio components such as a Cyrus tuner 

or dVd player etc.

*NOTE:  It  may  be  necessary  to  upgrade  the  firmware  in 

an  Audio  streamer  to  enable  Infra-red  remote  control 

operation.

Remote control backlight

The remote control keypad includes a back-light. The back-

light will switch on automatically when moved or when a 

command is sent.

Fitting batteries to the remote control

The  battery  compartment  is  on  the  back  of  the  remote 

control.

Press  the  catch  on  the  battery  cover  and  lift  off  the 

1. 

cover.
