Remote Control Codes

The Remote Control included with the C2500 utilizes
the NORMal McIntosh Control Codes. The Second
Set of Control Codes the C2500 will respond to is
referred to as the ALTernate Codes. The ALTernate
Codes are used when the C2500 is used in the same

Control Center. This will prevent the Remote Con-
trol from affecting the operation of both units at the
same time. To activate the Remote Control ALTernate
Codes perform the following steps:

button until the Setup Mode is active. Then press
the OUTPUT 2 / MENU ► Push-button until the
Setup Menu item "SETUP: REMOTE, CODES:
