REMOTE CONTROL

Your Stingray iTube is equipped with a Remote Control that communicates with the amplifier via RF (radio frequency) and/

or IR (infrared) signals. In the Stingray iTube’s Menu Mode, you can alter these transmission settings (to learn how to do that, 

see page 9). RF signals can pass through walls, so now you can operate your Stingray iTube from Anywhere In Your House!! 

We’re finally catching up with the last century.

This Remote can control almost all functions of your Stingray iTube. As seen in the picture below, the following functions are 

available:

Inputs: 1, 2, 3, & iPod. On the Stingray iTube’s faceplate, LEDs around the Input Se-

lection knob display the selected Insert.

Standby: Pushing the top-center button puts the unit into Standby mode, and wakes it 

up if pressed again. In Standby mode, no audio comes through the unit - no high volt-

ages are present, no glowing tubes, etc.

Mute: Be Gone, Beautiful Music! Thou art Silenced! While the Stingray iTube is 

muted, a blue LED will pulse at 6:00 on the Volume/Balance knob.

Volume: LEDs around the Volume/Balance knob display the current volume.

Balance: LEDs around the Volume/Balance knob display the current balance only in 

Balance Mode. See page 9 for details.

Insert: This switches the Loop Return On or Off (the REC OUT output is always ac-

tive). When this button is pressed, the Stingray iTube looks for signal at the Loop 

Return rather than at the selected input. When Loop Return is on, an LED at 1:00 on 

the Input Selection knob glows red.

DIM: Lowers volume to a predetermined level. See page 9 for details. 

iPod Controls: Previous, Play/Pause, & Next

Note: When the Stingray iTube is recieving signal from the remote (every time one of 

the remote’s buttons is pressed), a red LED will momentarily illuminate at 2:00 on the 

Input Selection knob. If the Stingray iTube’s remote has dead batteries, this red light 

will NOT flash, and the remote will NOT function.

Another note: To pair a “universal” remote with your Stingray iTube, the supplied Manley remote control must AL-

READY have been paired to the Stingray iTube. For reference, the IR “carrier” frequency for the Stingray iTube is 

38kHz, which is standard for many universal remote controls.
