Let´s have a closer look at the functions of the hardware remote.
On the frontpanel you find a display which shows either the volume, an activated MUTE (or DIM)
mode or the respective input source while switching sources.
On the top you find exactly one single control element, which is a big volume dial that also serves
two other functions:
1. Volume Control
If you turn the dial clockwise the volume is raised, if you turn it counterclockwise the volume is
attenuated.
2. MUTE or DIM function
By shortly pressing the dial you can activate the mute or dim function (chosen in the software
settings), by pressing it again the mode is deactivated. The preferences of the remote software
allow the choice either a complete mute of the signal, a dim (attenuation) of the signal by 10dB
or a dim (attenuation) of the signal by 20dB. The dim function can be handy if you want to talk or
answer the phone for example, without stopping playback of the music.
3. Switching between input sources
If you press and hold the dial and then turn it clockwise or counterclockwise you can read in the
display, which of the input sources gets selected. If the sources you want to select shows up in
the display, simply release the knob and the input source is now selected.
-> The Grimm Audio Hardware Remote has an infrared sensor. So any universal IR-remote can be used to
remotely control these three functions!
