Operation
Once the RR 2150 is connected to sources and speakers, you’ll find that it is
easy to operate. Read the following section to learn the basics of operating the
RR 2150, as well as a few tips and tricks that will enhance your enjoyment of
your entire system.
Before using the RR 2150, you’ll need to insert the supplied AA batteries into
the remote control. Please be sure to match the batteries with the “+” and “–”
markings inside the battery compartment during installation.
NOTE:
Do not mix new and old batteries or different kinds off batter-
ies. To avoid corrosion, remove the batteries if the remote control will
not be used for one month or more. Remove dead batteries immedi-
ately to avoid damage from corrosion.
To install batteries in the remote control:
1.
On the back of the remote, push the tab and lift off the battery
cover.
.
Insert two new AA alkaline batteries. Match the + and - marks on
the batteries to the + and - marks in the battery case.
.
Press the battery cover back into place. The tab should click when
the cover is locked.
.
Test the unit by pressing any key. If the batteries are inserted
correctly, the LED will blink once.
NOTE:
The batteries will usually last about six months under normal
use. When batteries need replacement, the remote will blink twice with
every key press. Simply replace them and the remote control will be
restored to its full functionality, including favorite settings.
Power
To turn the RR 150 on:
1.
Turn the rear panel MASTER POWER switch (RP8) on.
The front panel blue Standby LED (FP10) will glow amber.
.
Press the front panel’s STAnDBY button (FP10) or any source button

To turn the RR 150 off:
Press the front panel’s STAnDBY button (FP10) or the remote control’s
PWR button (RC16).
The Standby indicator will turn amber and the front-panel display
will turn off.
NOTE:
The rear panel Master Power Switch is normally left in the “ON”
position, as that enables the unit to be placed in a Standby mode so that
it may be turned on or off from the front panel or the remote control. The
only times the rear panel switch should be turned off in normal opera-
tion is if the RR 2150 will not be used for an extended period of time, or if
you wish to connect or disconnect a component or speaker.

Speaker A/B Selection
The RR 2150 allows you to connect two pairs of speakers, each of which will be
sent the same output signal. Four options are available, depending on where
you set the Speaker Selector Switch (FP14).
Set the switch to the “A” position to listen to speakers connected to the
“A” speaker output terminals only.
Set the switch to the “B” position to listen to speakers connected to the
“B” speaker output terminals only.
Set the switch to the “A+B” position to listen to both sets of speakers.
Set the switch to “OFF” to disable all speakers connected to the
RR 2150.
Speaker EQ
The RR 2150’s unique speaker EQ circuit allows you to add an additional 6dB
(about one-half octave) of bass at and below a specific frequency to increase the
low end performance of traditional bookshelf speakers. Particularly with sealed
(rather than ported) designs with eight or ten inch mid-range drivers, this circuit
helps compensate for the roll-off at the low end of the speaker’s range. It is not
generally recommended for use when a separate subwoofer is connected.
It is important to understand that this circuit is not a replacement for the traditional
“Bass Control”, which applies boost or cut across the entire spectrum. Further, this
circuit is not part of the bass management circuit, described on page 15.
