Rf Remo Te Co Ntro L Functio N - Kenwood sovereign VR-5900 How To Connect

Chapter Two : Setting Up
The Po werTo uch o f the VR-5900 has the RF remo te func-
tio n in additio n to the IR remo te functio n.
The Po werTo uch is set to the RF remo te mo de o n facto ry
setting, but can also be switched to the IR remo te mo de.
Press and ho ld the RF ON/ OFF butto n (
to n) o n the receiver fo r mo re than 2 seco nds to display " RF
O FF".
RF ON : Co mmunicatio n between the receiver and the Re-
mo te Co ntro l unit is perfo rmed acco rding to the fo llo wing
metho d.
• The receiver unit receives the signals fro m the Remo te
Co ntro l unit as RF signals.
• The signals sent fro m the receiver unit to the Remo te
Co ntro l unit are sent as IR signals.
RF OFF : Co nnect the separately so ld KENWO O D IR-9991
( IR transceiver) o r similar to the receiver fo r co mmunica-
tio n with the Remo te Co ntro l unit. ( Refer to page 52 fo r the
48
use metho d.) In this case, installatio n o f the RF remo te an-
tenna is no t required.
Changing the RF Transmissio n Frequency
The RF remo te functio n may be unavailable due to radio
intreference, etc. In this case, the transmissio n frequency can
be changed.
To change the RF remo te transmissio n frequency:
1. O pen the battery co ver o n the rear.
2. Change the RF switch setting.

The co ntro l distance o f the RF remo te signal is abo ut 30 ft

Here is list o f adjustments o f that can maximize the o pera-
tio n o f yo ur Po wer To uch. Fo r o ptim al o peratio n o f the
Po wer To uch:
1. Aim the Po wer To uch to ward the ro o m where the Re-
ceiver is lo cated.
2. Do no t po sitio n the Receiver near metal ( such as heat
ducts) . Metal can abso rb RF signals.
3. Make sure the batteries in the Po wer To uch are fully
charged. Weak batteries will affect the range o f the Po wer
To uch.
4. Make sure that the range o f the Po wer To uch is being
affected by o ther radio frequency transmissio ns.
NO TE: The tests fo r range limits o f the Po werTo uch and
the Receiver were co nducted in o pen-air distance
tests. Actual distance o f the signal will be based o n
the co nstructio n o f the building the unit is being
used in as well as o ther facto rs such as o utside in-
terference.
