Operation
Turn on the power to all components that aren't
connected to the SWITCHED outlets on the back of
your amplifier. Make sure the volume control on your
HK6850 or HK6950R is turned all the way down, then
turn the unit on. This procedure will protect your
speakers from turn-on thumps (transients) from the
other components.
Listening to a record
1. Set the SOURCE selector to PHONO.
2. Set the CARTRIDGE selector to MM if the
turntable you want to use has a moving magnet
cartridge, or to MC if it has a moving coil cartridge.
3. Set the TAPE MONITOR selector to SOURCE.
4. Turn on the turntable and play the record.
5. If you notice that the record is warped, turn on
the SUBSONIC filter to reduce turntable resonance.
If you hear hum at average listening levels, turn
all components off, then check to make sure that the
PHONO and GND connections on the back of the
amplifier are secure. Depending on the cartridge type
used, less hum may be produced without the ground
connection.
Listening to a CD, tuner, AUX or Video compo-
nent
1. Set the SOURCE selector to the appropriate
input (CD, TUNER, AUX or VIDEO).
2. Set the TAPE MONITOR selector to SOURCE.
3. Turn on the component.
Playing a tape
1. Set the TAPE MONITOR selector to 1 if the
tape deck you want to play is connected to TAPE 1. Set
the selector to 2 if the unit is connected to TAPE 2.
2. Turn on the tape deck.
Make sure you return the TAPE MONITOR
selector to SOURCE when you're finished playing the
tape deck.
Recording on a tape deck
1. If you want to record from the tuner, set the
RECORD OUT selector to TUNER. If you want to
record from PHONO, CD, AUX, or VIDEO, set the
RECORD OUT selector to SOURCE, then set the
SOURCE selector to PHONO, CD, AUX, or VIDEO.
2. Start the tape deck recording.
3. To monitor as you record, set the TAPE MONI-
TOR selector to 1 if the tape deck you are recording on
is connected to TAPE 1. Set the selector to 2 if the unit
is connected to TAPE 2.
4. If you are recording from your tuner, you can
listen to another program source without affecting
your recording. Simply set the SOURCE selector to
whatever source you want to listen to. This selection
will not affect your recording from the tuner.
If you have two decks connected, you can record
on both of them simultaneously, since the same signal
is routed to both. You can also record on one deck and
listen to the other by using the TAPE MONITOR
selector.
Copying (dubbing) from one tape deck to
another
1. Use the RECORD OUT selector to set the
direction of the copying. For example, if you want to
play a tape on the deck connected to TAPE 1 and
record that tape on the deck connected to TAPE 2,
select COPY 1 > 2.
2. Start the first tape playing and the second tape
recording.
3. To monitor as you record, set the TAPE MONI-
TOR selector to 1 if the tape deck you're recording on
is connected to TAPE 1. Set the selector to 2 if the unit
is connected to TAPE 2. Make sure you return the
TAPE MONITOR selector to SOURCE
when you're
finished listening to the tape deck.
4. To listen to another program source while you
copy from one deck to another, return the TAPE
MONITOR selector to SOURCE, then set the
SOURCE selector to whatever source you want to
listen to. These selections will not affect your record-
ing.

Operating Conditions
The control unit operates effectively within a
distance of 23 feet (7 meters) and an angle of 30° from
the amplifier. Using the control near fluorescent lights
may shorten this range, as will any dust or dirt that
accumulates on the front of the remote control, or the
"Remote Sensor" area of the amplifier. Also avoid
blocking the line of sight between amplifier and
remote.
The control unit is powered by two AA batteries,
included with your amplifier.
When you replace weak batteries, replace both at
the same time. When the remote is to be unused for an
extended period, remove the batteries to prevent
damage from corrosion.
