A separate manual, included with the remote,
gives detailed information on programming

is intended to provide only that information
which pertains to the use of the RR-949 to

AUDIO Button

To operate the RX-975 with the remote, make
sure that the AUDIO mode is active by press-
ing the AUD button on the remote before you
start. If it is active, pressing command keys
on the RR-949 will cause the AUDIO button
to flash red. Once the AUDIO mode is ac-
tive, it will stay active unless you press one
of the other DEVICE buttons to control a dif-
ferent component.

Programming the RR-949

The RR-949 is preprogrammed from the
factory to operate the RX-975. Should the
AUDIO command set on your RR-949 not
operate the RX-975, it's possible that the
programming has been inadvertently
changed. To program the remote to
operate the RX-975, set the AUDIO
Code = 001:
1. Press the AUDIO button at the top of the
remote while simultaneously pressing the
MUTE button and hold both for at least
one second. The AUDIO button will light
in red for 20 seconds, indicating that you
have entered the program mode. The next
step must be done within this 20 second
period, or the RR-949 will revert to its
standard operating mode.

corresponding AUDIO button again. The
