SPHINX
Myth 7
15
Operation
The Sphinx Remote is used for several different
models and can therefore transmit different control
codes, depending on which model has been
selected with the select buttons (1).
Important: Always press the TUNER button before
you send a command (even if you only have one
Sphinx component).
If not it is possible that although the Remote will
send a signal nothing happens because the
transmitted signal is not 'recognised' by the
component.
Indoors the Remote may be used up to a distance of
7 meter, provided there is no strong sunlight in the
room and if you aim the Remote at the component.
Always aim the Remote straight at the front panel of
the component, the maximum offset angle is 30°.
Selecting without switching
Suppose for instance that you would like to select
the Tuner to Radio 4 without interrupting the CD
playback.
In that case you momentarily depress (not longer
than 0.5 sec) the 'TUNER' button and the '4' button.
The same procedure is used for the other system
components.
Only when you depress the select button longer than
0.5 sec the system will select a different signal
source (in our example you will then hear the Tuner
playback).
Batteries
The two batteries have a life span of approx. one
year during normal use, but shorter when used more
intensely.
Replacement batteries: 1.5 V, model
penlite
or
AAA
(one of these codes is indicated on the packaging
and the batteries). You may also use rechargeable
1.5 V batteries.
Note
:
Position the new batteries exactly as shown in
the illustration at the bottom of the battery
compartment, otherwise Remote will not work!
