Rotel RR-990 Universal Remote User Manual

Continuous Control Codes:
Occasionally, one of the buttons on an original
remote controller generates a very long com-
mand code or continuously generates a shorter
command sequence over and over again. (This
sometimes happens with “Volume Up” and
“Volume Down” commands for example.)
The RR-990 accepts code sequences up to 20
seconds in duration but if you’re continuously
pressing a “Volume Up” key on the original re-
mote until the RR-990 signals you that it has
learned the code completely, you may never see
the RR-990’s “OK” indicator come on.
If this happens, simply press the problem key
on the original remote once while holding
down the RR-990’s corresponding button. This
will often produce a much shorter code string
that the RR-990 will have no trouble learning.
In a very few cases, you may find that the RR-
990 doesn’t emulate a continuous or “repeated”
command from the original remote controller
perfectly. Experiment with the learning se-
quence by pressing the original remote’s prob-
lematic key several times very quickly during
the RR-990’s learn cycle. This will generally
solve the problem.
Now That Your RR-990 Is Smarter
Once you’ve programmed the RR-990 with com-
mands from several original remote controllers, you’ll
really begin to appreciate its flexibility.
As you use it, you’ll notice the “OK” indicator flash
at the top of the screen whenever you press a pro-
grammed button on any Control panel. This is sim-
ply the RR-990’s way of telling you that the key you’ve
just pressed has been programmed successfully and
that the RR-990 is sending out a command to the
associated component for execution.
If you press a button and see the “Error” indicator
instead, the RR-990’s memory for that particular
button is empty. Most likely, you simply forgot to
program it while in Learn mode. Just follow the pro-
gramming instructions in Here’s How above.
If you see the “BatLow” indicator, replace all four (4)
AAA batteries as soon as possible. A backup battery
will preserve all the command codes you programmed
into the RR-990 but you will have to reconstruct any
Custom Control Panels afterwards.
NOTE: Always replace all four AAA batteries at
the same time. We also suggest that you remove the
AAA batteries if you’re not going to be using the
RR-990 for an extended period (2 months or more).

Deleting Individual Function
Commands
Here’s how to delete the command codes for a par-
ticular key in a Control Panel:
1) Choose the Control Panel by pressing the ap-
propriate Component Selector at the bottom of
the LCD touch screen.
2) Press the “Delete” button at the top of the
LCD screen for about two (2) seconds to enter
Delete mode. (The Delete indicator at the very
top of the screen will flash.)
3) Press the corresponding button for the control
codes you want to delete. (The Delete indica-
tor will go out.)
4) Repeat steps 2 and 3 for every function you
wish to delete.
5) You can exit Delete mode at any time by sim-
ply pressing the “Delete” button.
