REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
The MC-8 remote control provides full operation of the MC-8,
performing commands such as menu navigation that are not
available from the front panel. The command matrix that begins
on page 2-13 indicates the commands remote control buttons
perform when each command bank is active. The numbered items
in the matrix correspond with the remote control illustrations on
pages 2-13 to 2-16.
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
The bulleted items that begin below describe factors that can
improve or impede remote control operation. It is recommended
to observe these items as well as the battery installation instructions
on page 1-5 before operating the remote control.
Please note the following before operating the MC-8 remote
control:
• The remote control must be in line-of-sight with the front
panel IR receiver (2-3). Eliminate obstructions between the
remote control and the IR receiver. The remote control might
become unreliable if strong sunlight or fluorescent light is
shining on the IR receiver.
• For optimal performance, position the remote control at a 30
degree angle no more than 17 feet (5m) from the MC-8. If the
MC-8 is placed inside a glass cabinet, smoked glass will reduce
the remote control range.
• Remote controllers for different components can interfere with
one another. It is recommended to avoid using remote controls
for different components at the same time.
• The remote control batteries should be replaced as needed.
Refer to page 1-5 for battery installation instructions.
