Operation; Selecting Without Switching; Batteries; Encountering Problems - SPHINX Project 32 User Manual

Operation

The Sphinx Remote is used with several different
models and can therefore transmit different control
codes, depending on which model has been
selected with the select buttons (1).
Important: Always press the CD button before you
send a command (even if you only have one
Sphinx component).
Otherwise it is possible that, although the Remote
sends a signal, nothing happens because the
transmitted signal is not 'recognised' by the
component.
Indoor the Remote may be used up to a distance of
7 meter, provided there is no strong sunlight in the
room and if you aim the Remote at the component.
Always aim the Remote straight at the front panel of
the component, the maximum offset angle is 30°.

Selecting without switching

Suppose, for instance, that you would like to select
the tuner to Radio 4 without interrupting CD
playback.
In that case you momentarily depress (not longer
than 0.5 sec) the TUNER button and the '4' button.
The same procedure is used for the other system
components.
If you depress the select button longer than 0.5
sec, the system will select a different signal source
(in our example you will then hear the tuner
playback).

Batteries

The two batteries have a life span of approximately
one year during normal use, but shorter when used
more intensely.
Replacement batteries: 1.5 V, model micro or
penlite or LR03 or AAA or AM4 (one of these codes
is indicated on the packaging and the batteries).
You may also use rechargeable 1.5 V batteries.
Note: Position the new batteries exactly as shown
in the illustration at the bottom of the battery
compartment, otherwise the Remote will not work!
