CR100
E-3
The CR100 is a sophisticated
‘universal’ remote control that can
control up to eight devices.
<The CR100 is preprogrammed for
use with Arcam products (Solo
Movie, ampliers, multi-channel
sound processors, CD players and
DVD players) within range.
SEE PAGES 8–15...
<The CR100 can control your
complete home entertainment
system. With its extensive built-in
library of codes, the CR100 can
be used with thousands of third-
party TVs, satellite decoders, set-
top boxes, VCRs and CD players.
SEE PAGES 6, 21...
<The CR100 can ‘learn’ almost any
function from an old single-device
remote.
SEE PAGE 16...
<You can customise the CR100
to suit, and program it to issue
a sequence of commands (a
‘Macro’) at a single key press.
SEE PAGES 16, 19...
The CR100 is supplied with several
Arcam products �or specic products �or specic
information on how to use the CR100
to control the product it was supplied
with, please refer to that product’s
manual.
Device Mode keys
The Device Mode keys (shown below)
select the source on your amplier,
preamplier or receiver These keys
also change the functionality of the
remote control. It’s like having eight
different remotes in your hand!
If you press and hold a Device Mode
key, you change the Device Mode
without changing the signal source.
Each Device Mode changes the
behaviour of many of the CR100 keys
to control the source appropriately
(see pages 8–15). For example:
<In
mode the key plays the
previous CD track
<In
mode the key issues the
TV ‘Channel Down’ command.
Navigation keys
The Navigation keys
steer the cursor in
setup menus or
on-screen menus.
They also replicate
the navigation
functions of original
remotes supplied with other
home entertainment devices in your
system. conrms a setting

E-4
Here’s how to get the most out of
your CR100 universal remote:
Insert the batteries
<Follow the instructions on the
facing page to insert four AAA
alkaline batteries.
Get to know the CR100 by using it
with your Arcam equipment
<Familiarise yourself with the
CR100 by using it with the Arcam
components in your system.
Refer to the relevant Arcam
Handbook.
Set up the CR100 to control your
other audio-visual components
<Use the methods described on
pages 6 and 7 to use your CR100
to control the third-party devices
in your home entertainment
system.
Customise the CR100
<Use the methods described in
‘Customising the CR100’ (pages
16–19) to make the CR100 work
in exactly the way you want:
Control volume intelligently,
switch multiple devices on and off
with a single key press, and much
more.
Getting started
Useful information
When reading this manual keep
the following information in mind,
as it will help you understand the
operation of the CR100.
Backlight
<A blue backlight comes on for
ve seconds whenever a key
is pressed. This helps you use
the handset in subdued lighting
conditions.
Power LED ‘blinks’
<Short blinks indicate a valid key
press.
<Multiple short blinks convey
information (such as a device
code) or signal the beginning
and successful completion of a
programming sequence.
<Long blinks indicate an invalid
key press or entry.
<The symbol is used in the
manual to indicate a Power LED
blink.
Timeouts and unassigned keys
<Time Out – After 10 seconds the
CR100 exits the programming
state and returns to normal
operation.
<Stuck Key Timeout – After any
key is pressed continuously for
30 seconds, the CR100 stops
sending IR transmission to
conserve battery life. The CR100
remains off until all keys are
released.
<Unassigned Keys – The CR100
control ignores any unassigned
key presses for a particular mode
and does not transmit IR.
English
CR100
E-5
Inserting batteries
1. Open the battery
compartment by pressing
the button on the back of the
handset.
2. Insert four AAA batteries into
the battery compartment:
two with ‘+’ facing the top of
the handset, and two with ‘+’
facing the end cap, as in the
diagram.
3. Lower the end cap onto the
plastic locating plate in the
handset. This acts as a hinge,
and you can now push the
end cap rmly into its locked
position with a click.
Low voltage indicator
When the batteries are running down,
the IR transmit indicator on the
CR100 (the LED surrounding
the Power button) ashes ve
times whenever you press a
button.
If this happens, please t four new
AAA alkaline batteries as soon as
possible.
Maintaining reliability
Please keep in mind the following
when using the CR100:
<Make sure there are no obstacles
between the remote control
and the remote sensors on any
devices you’re controlling. The
CR100 has a range of about
seven meters. (If a unit’s remote
sensor is obscured, you may
be able to use a remote control
input jack on the rear panel
– contact your dealer for further
information.)
<As with any IR remote, operation
may become unreliable if strong
sunlight or strong uorescent
light is shining on a front panel
remote sensor.
CR100

This section describes the simplest
(preferred) way to program the
CR100’s Device Mode keys to control
the non-Arcam devices in your
system.
<Some of the modes are locked
to Arcam operation but can be
unlocked if required (see page 18).
<

Example: To set up the CR100 for
an Addison TV
Here is a specic example of how to
program the
key to control an
Addison television. The principles for
controlling other devices are exactly
the same.
1. Make sure your device is switched
on (not just on ‘stand-by’).
2. Find the correct Device Code
table (e.g. TV) for the type of
device you want to control from
the CR100.
3. Find the row containing the codes
for the manufacturer of your
device (e.g. Addison) (page 21).
The most popular code is listed
rst
4. Press the appropriate Device
Mode key (e.g.
) on the
CR100.
5. Press and hold
until the red
Power LED blinks twice:
(It actually blinks once when you
press the key, then twice after
about three seconds).
6 Enter the rst four-digit device
code using the number keys. The
device key (e.g.
) blinks twice:
.
7. Aim the CR100 at the device and
press . If the device switches
off, the setup is complete.
8. Turn your device back on and
test all the CR100’s functions to
ensure they are working properly.
9. Important! Write your device
code down on the next page so
you can remember it if you ever
reset the CR100.
What if I still can’t
control my device?
<If your device doesn’t respond,
repeat the above steps until one
of the device codes listed for your
brand works.
<If none of the codes listed for
your brand operates your device,
or if your brand is not listed at
all, try the Library Search Method
described in the next section.
Notes:
<Some codes are quite similar. If
your device does not respond or
is not functioning properly with
one of the codes, try another
code listed under your brand.
<If your device’s original remote
control does not have a
(POWER) key, press instead of
when setting up your device.
<Remember to press the
corresponding device key before
operating your device.
<Many TVs do not switch on
pressing . Please try pressing
a number key (‘channel select’)
to switch your TV back on.
<To search for the code for another
device follow the instructions
above, but press the appropriate
device key instead of
during
step 2.
Controlling other devices:
Method 1 (Direct code setup)
English
CR100
E-7
Controlling other devices:
Method 2 (Library search)
This section describes another way to
program the CR100 to control third-
party equipment.
Library Search allows you to scan
through all the codes contained in the
CR100’s memory. It can take a lot
longer than the previous method, so
only use this method if:
<Your device does not respond to
the CR100 after you have tried all
the codes listed for your brand.
<Your brand is not listed at all in
the Device Code tables.
Example: To search for a TV code
1. Switch your TV on (not stand-by)
and aim the CR100 at it.
2. Press
on your CR100.
3. Press and hold
until the power
LED blinks twice.
3. Press
�
�
�
. The power LED
key blinks twice:
5. Press .
6. Aim the CR100 at your Television
and press repeatedly until
your Television turns off.
Every time you press the CR100
sends out a POWER signal from the
next code contained in its memory.
In the worst case, you may have
to press this key up to 150 times,
so patience is required! If you skip
past a code, step back by pressing
. Remember to keep pointing
the CR100 at your Television while
pressing this key.
7. As soon as your television turns
off, press
to store the code.
Notes:
<Many TVs do not switch on
pressing . Please try pressing
a number key (‘channel select’)
to switch your TV back on.
<If you cannot control your
Television properly, please
continue the Search Method, you
may be using the wrong code.
<To search for the code for another
device follow the instructions
above, but press the appropriate
Device Mode key instead of
during step 2.
<If your device’s original remote
control does not have a
(POWER) key, press instead
during step 5.
Code blink-back
Once you have set up your CR100,
you can blink back your device set-up
codes for future reference.
Example: To blink back your
Television code
1. Press the appropriate Device
Mode key (e.g.
) once.
2. Press and hold
until the red
Power LED blinks twice
(It actually blinks once when you
press the key, then twice after
about three seconds).
3. Press
�
�
�
. The key
blinks twice.
4 �or the rst digit of your four-
digit code, press
�
and count
all the red blinks. If there are no
blinks, the digit is ‘0’.
5. For the second, third and fourth
digits, repeat the previous
step, pressing
�
,
�
, or
�
as
appropriate.
Now you have the four-digit code.
Make a note of the codes
Write down the codes for your
devices in the boxes below for future
reference.

Code Learning
The CR100 comes with a complete
library of preprogrammed codes.
After you have set up the CR100
for your device, you may nd that
there are one or more functions on
your original remote which do not
have a place on the CR100 keypad.
For convenience, the CR100 offers
a Code Learning feature that allows
you to copy up to 16 functions from
an original remote control onto the
CR100 keypad.
Before you start, make sure that:
<The original remote control is
working correctly.
<The remotes are not pointing at
your device.
<The remotes have new batteries.
<The remotes are not in direct
sunlight or under strong
uorescent lights
Learned functions are mode-
dependent: You could theoretically
assign up to eight different
functions to a single key (the
CR100 can handle a total of 16
learned functions).
Example: To copy the ‘text hold’
function from a TV remote onto
the key of your CR100.
1 Place both remotes on a at
surface, 2 to 5cm apart, with the
IR ports facing each other.
2. On the CR100, press and hold
until the power LED blinks twice:
.
3. Press
�
�
�
. The power LED
blinks twice: .
4. On the CR100, press the device
key that matches the ‘source’
device (e.g. if you’re learning a
TV function, press
).
5. On the CR100, press the key to
which you want to assign the
learned function (e.g. ). The
device key blinks rapidly.
6. On the original remote, press and
hold the function key that you
want to learn (e.g. TEXT HOLD)
until the CR100 device key blinks
twice: .
7. If you want to learn other
functions from the same source
device, simply repeat steps 5 and
6 pressing the next key you want
to learn.
8. To exit Code Learning mode,
press and hold
until the device
key blinks twice: .
9. To use the learned function on
the CR100, press the Device
Mode key, followed by the
function key.
In this example, you’d press
followed by
Shifted Learning
You can assign a learned function to
a CR100 key without sacricing its
original function.
You can assign Shifted Learning
functions to any key except for:
Device Mode keys (e.g.
),
, or
number keys (
�
to
�
).
1. To assign a Shifted Learning
function, simply follow Code
Learning steps in the previous
section. During step 5, press
once before you press the key
to which you want to assign the
learned function.

Important notes
<Once you start a Code Learning
session, you have approximately
10 seconds to conduct each step.
Any longer, and a timeout means
that you’ll have to start the
process again.
<The Learning feature is mode-
specic – you can copy one
feature per mode onto a key.
<The CR100 can learn
approximately 16 functions in
total.

Creating Macros
You can program your CR100 to issue
a sequence of commands when you
press a single key. Any sequence of
commands you regularly use can be
reduced to a single key press for your
convenience.
For example, you might want to turn
off your TV, VCR and Satellite at the
same time.
<A key programmed with a Macro
is available in all modes; it will
replace that key’s different
functions for all modes.
<A Macro can consist of up to eight
key presses.
Example: To assign a Macro to
the
key
1. Press and hold
until the power
LED blinks twice: .
2. Press

(These are the Macro steps you
wish to record.)
5. To store the Macro, press and
hold
until the power LED
blinks twice: .
Now, whenever you press
, the
CR100 will toggle the power to your
TV, VCR and Satellite.
<The important word here is
‘toggle’. For example, if the TV
and Satellite devices are currently
on, but the VCR is off, pressing
will switch off the TV and
Satellite and switch on the VCR
(rather than switching all three
devices on or off).
<When using Macros, remember
that you may need to change
mode or use
, and that each
key press (including changing
modes and pressing
) counts
as one of the Macro steps. You
cannot use a Macro key within
another Macro.
<If the amount of memory

Key Mover
Sometimes you might nd that a key
you use a lot for your system is in the
‘wrong’ place on the CR100 keypad.
It’s quite easy to reassign a favourite
function to a more accessible key.
Remember that key functions are
Mode-specic
Example: To assign the DISP
function to the MENU key in SAT
mode:
1. Press
.
2. Press and hold
until the power
LED blinks twice: .
3. Press

4. Press the key you want to move
(e.g.
)
5. Press the key you want to move
the key to (e.g.
).
To restore a moved key and return
it to its previous function, repeat the
process above, pressing the key to be
restored twice.
Mode Mover
If your home entertainment setup
contains devices of the same type
(e.g. two TVs, perhaps from different
manufacturers) you can still control
both those devices with the CR100.
You simply need to reassign an
unused Device Mode key.
Example: To use the
key to
control a second TV
1. Press and hold
until the power
LED blinks twice: .
3. Press
�
�

.
3. Press the Device Mode key for the
type of device you want to control
(e.g. for a TV, press
).
4. Press the Device Mode key you
want to use (e.g.
).
5. Don’t forget to set up the CR100
to control the second device,
using one of the methods on
pages 6 or 7.
Note that Volume lock features are
not applied to a Device Mode that has
been altered using Mode Mover.
To restore a moved Device Mode
key to its original state

Locking/Unlocking a
specic device mode
When you rst unpack your
CR100 and insert the batteries,
for your convenience it is able to
control certain Arcam components
automatically (e.g. DVD players,
Ampliers, Tuners and CD Players)
We achieve this by preprogramming
specic Arcam device codes onto
the relevant Device Mode keys, then
locking the Device Modes so you
don’t reprogram them inadvertently.
If you want to override these locked
default settings – to control a third-
party DVD player, for example – you
will rst need to unlock DVD Mode
before setting up the CR100 using
one of the methods described at the
start of this guide.
English
CR100
E-19
Here are the factory default settings:
Mode Default
Status Default Arcam
codes
DVD mode Locked 0762
SAT mode Unlocked 0877
AV mode Unlocked 0586
TUN mode Locked 2009
AMP mode Locked 1956
AUX mode Locked 2004
VCR mode Unlocked 0111
CD mode Locked 0680
Alternative codes are available for
multi-room solutions, or in the
case of code clashes with other
manufacturer’s products.
For example:
DVD (system code 12) 1655
AMP (system code 19) 1371
You will need to change the system
code on the product you wish to
control, as well as the CR100.
Note: AMP mode is permanently
locked; it will only control Arcam
Ampliers.
To toggle a Device Mode lock setting:
1. Press the Device Mode key you
want to unlock (e.g.
)
2. Press and hold
until the power
LED blinks twice: .
3. Press
�
�

.
<The power LED blinks twice when
being locked, and blinks four
times when being unlocked.
<If you enter an invalid key
sequence, the power LED gives
one long blink and returns to
normal operation.
While the Device Mode key is locked,
the Direct Code Setup and Move
Mode functions are not available.
Volume punch-through
Volume punch-through means that,
no matter which Device Mode is
selected, the CR100 controls the
Amplier volume You don’t need to
press
on your CR100. This feature
is switched on by default.
There are times, however, when
you might want to control a device’s
volume directly when in a specic
Device Mode.
Example: To cancel volume
punch-through for a TV (AV
mode)
1. Press
once.
2. Press and hold
until the power
LED blinks twice: .
3. Press
