Operation
The Sphinx Remote is used with several different
models and can therefore transmit different control
codes, depending on which model has been
selected with the select buttons (3.).
Important: Always press the PRE-AMP button
before you send a command (even if you only have
one Sphinx component).
Otherwise it is possible that, although the Remote
sends a signal (LED blinks), 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 CD
playback.
In that case you momentarily depress (not longer
than 0.5 sec) the 'TUNER' button and the '4' button.
If you depress the select button for 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 approximately
one year during normal use, but shorter when used
more intensely.
Replacement batteries: 1.5 V, penlight 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 the remote control does
not function!
