Independent Remote Control
The system remote of the HK 990 can control
the amplifier and compatible Tuners, CD Players
and CD Recorders. The remote In jack of units
without an integrated IR receiver must be con-
nected to the amplifier's remote control output
jack so that the system remote control can oper-
ate them.
Important Notes:
To remote control a tuner, CD Recorder or
•
CD Player, the appropriate input (”TUneR”,
”CDR” or ”CD”) must have been selected
with the source buttons of the remote
control (selecting on the front panel is not
sufficient).
note that DVD players cannot be controlled
•
by the remote.
Operating Conditions
The control unit operates effectively within a
distance of 7 meters and an angle of 30° from
the amplifier. Using the control near fluorescent
lights may shorten this range, as will any dust
or dirt that accumulates on the front of the
remote control or the remote sensor area of the
amplifier. also avoid blocking the line of sight
between amplifier and remote.
Install the four supplied aaa batteries in the
remote as shown. be certain to follow the (+)
and (–) polarity indicators that are on the top of
the battery compartment.
When you replace weak batteries, replace all at
the same time. When the remote is to be unused
for an extended period, remove the batteries to
prevent damage from corrosion.
