100x5R mute
remote control
The 100x5R is equipped with a sophisticated micro-controller to
monitor and control the 100x5R. The performance of this
processor, activated by a tiny remote control, allows for class
leading ergonomics, for example the flexibility to not only mute
all five channels simultaneously but for example have individual
control over each power amplifier module. So if you play CDs in
stereo you only need to switch on the left and right channels.
For added convenience TAG McLaren Audio has integrated the
main control functions for the av processor AV32R and the dvd
player DVD32R. The complete audio-visual system can be started,
stopped or muted from the tiny remote control of the 100x5R.
Whenever the 100x5R receives valid infra red (IR) instructions
from the remote control the 100x5R acknowledges by flashing the
top LED on the right front panel, above the power button.
The sound output of all five channels can be muted using the
single ‘
mute amp
’ button on the remote. This is a toggle action
command - one press will mute and a second press will un-mute.
When muted the 100x5R has only disconnected the
loudspeakers. The amplifier is still running and the sound will be
restored instantly when the ‘
mute
’ button is pressed again.
When the 100x5R is muted the bottom LED on the right front
panel, above the power button, will illuminate.

You will require an audio-visual processor (such as our theatre
AV32R) or a preamplifier (such as our PA10, PA20R or PA32R) to
provide the signals to drive the 100x5R. Use a good quality,
screened phono-phono audio cable, such as the TAG McLaren
Audio F3-10-ANA, to connect between the phono socket output
on the processor/preamplifier and the phono socket input on the
rear module panel of the 100x5R. Ensure that the correct
processor/preamplifier output e.g. left front is connected to the
100x5R module which in turn is connected to the left front
speaker. Continue in this manner until all of the channels are
connected.
When you have completed the set-up and have connected all
cables between all components, ensure that the volume control
on the av processor/preamplifier is set to minimum before
switching on.
Press the power button in. The blue power LED will come on.
The five channel status indicators will flash, as the amplifier
channels power up sequentially to prevent excessively high
current demand from the mains supply. When all five channels
have been activated, you should see the five red LEDs softly
illuminated, showing that all five channels have energised. Then
the amplifier is ready to play source material through the system.
Raise the volume level at your av processor or preamplifier slowly
at first, until sound is replayed through the audio system. Sit back
and enjoy!
