Introduction
The HR085 Remote Control is supplied with McIntosh
Preamplifiers, Integrated Amplifiers and Tuners.
The HR085 Remote Control has the ability to learn
and store Remote Control (RC) Commands from
three non-McIntosh Components. The RC Commands
stored in the HR085 can be accessed by using the
“DEVICE” Push-button together with the LED Indica-
tors to select one of the three (TV, CABLE or AUX).
Refer to figure 1 and the instructions starting on page
3 on “How to Learn and Store Commands”.

Remote Control Codes
The HR085 Remote Control has been factory con-
figured for the “Normal” McIntosh Control Codes
used with most models. There is a set of “Alternate”
McIntosh Control Codes for the HR085 Remote Con-
trol. “This Alternate Control Code” is to be used when
there are two McIntosh Models (A/V Control Center,
Integrated Amplifier or Preamplifier) in the same
location at the same time. This will prevent the HR085
Remote Control from adversely affecting the opera-
tion of the units. Refer to figure 1 when performing
the steps below.
Note: Refer to the “Setup” Section of the Owner’s
Manual supplied with the A/V Control Center,
Integrated Amplifier and/or Preamplifier for ad-
ditional information about using the “Alternate
Control Codes”.
To change the HR085 from “Normal” to “Alternate”
Control Codes perform the following steps:
1. To change from the “Normal” to “Alternate”
Control Codes, press and hold the SELECT and
number 2 Push-buttons simultaneously (for about
8 seconds) until the Device Select LED
flashes twice.
2. Referring to the SETUP Steps outlined in the
McIntosh Model Owner’s Manual, change one of
the two Models over to the “Alternate” Codes.
3. Press the VOLume ▲Up/ ▼Down Push-button
on the Remote Control to verify proper operation
using the Alternate Codes.
To change the HR085 from “Alternate” to “Normal”
Control Codes perform the following steps:
1. To change from the “Alternate” to “Normal”
Control Codes, press hold the SELECT and
number 1 Push-buttons simultaneously (for about
8 seconds) until the Device Select LED
flashes once.

3. The AUX LED will flash twice, followed by
all four LEDS illuminating.
4. On the HR085, press and release the (Play)
Push-button and three LEDs (TV, CABLE or
AUX) will be illuminated.
5. Then press and hold in the (Play) Push-
button on the Other Brand Remote until the
TV and CABLE LEDs extinguish and just the
AUX LED will be illuminated momentarily.
6. All four LEDs will illuminate on the HR085
Remote Control indicating it is now ready to
learn an additional command(s).
7. Repeat steps four and five, except this time
press the :(Next) Push-button in place of the
(Play) Push-
button.
8. When the AUX
LED illuminates,
quickly press the
DEVICE Push-
button until the
AUX LED flashes
twice. This will
store the two
learned commands
(Play) and the
:(Next).
9. The HR085
Remote Control
returns to nor-
mal operation.
By pressing the
DEVICE twice
(AUX LED will
illuminated) and
the newly learned
transport commands can sent.
A successful learning process requires adequate IR
Signal Strength, both sending and receiving, from the
McIntosh HR085 and the other Brand Remote Con-
trol. Please make sure the Remote Controls have fresh
batteries installed and functioning correctly with their
respective component(s) before proceeding.
Signal Strength Test
Preliminary Step
First perform the following test with the HR085 Re-
mote Control and other Brand Remote Control before
attempting to have the HR085 learn commands from
them.
1. Referring to figure 2, position the remote controls
as illustrated.
2. The HR085 IR sensor must be receiving an
adequate IR signal for the learning process to be
successful.
3. Press and hold in the DEVICE Push-button for
about 4 seconds, and the LED will flash
twice. This indicates the HR085 Remote Control
is in the Programming Mode. Immediately press
the following number Push-buttons:
9, 1, 0, 0
4. Press and hold in one of the Push-buttons on the
“Other Brand Remote”.
5. One or more of the DEVICE LEDs on the HR085
All of the Push-buttons on the HR085 Remote Control
except for the DEVICE Push-button, may be used to
store RC Commands. Before proceeding make sure
the Remote Controls have fresh batteries installed
and the optimum position has been determined. In
the following example, the (Play) and the :(Next)
transport commands will be learned from the Other
Brand Remote and stored in the HR085 Remote Con-
trol “AUX” DEVICE. Refer to figure 3 and perform
the following steps:
Note: It is important to perform the learning/storing
steps at a moderate pace, thus preventing drop-
ping out of the Programming Mode.
1. Press and hold in the DEVICE Push-button for
about 4 seconds, the LED will flash
twice.
2. Using the Numeric Push-buttons on the HR085,
enter in the Programming Code for the selecting
the device (TV, CABLE or AUX) in which the
learned commands will be stored, enter 3004:
Note: The AUX Device will be using in this example.

will illuminate (the four LEDs function like a
signal strength meter). Change the position of
the HR085 or the other brand remote control, to
illuminate as many of the four LEDs as possible.
After the optimum position has been determined,
do not move either remote control until learning
process has been completed.
6. Press the DEVICE Push-button to exit the
Programming Mode and proceed to “Learning
Commands”.

HR085 Hex Code Table
Before implementing the procedures below, it is
important to make sure the HR085 in the McIntosh
Mode:
1. Press and hold in the DEVICE Push-button for
about 4 seconds, the LED will flash

The following HR085 information (and the table on
the next page) is intended to be used by McIntosh
Dealers and Professional A/V Custom Installers.
While most McIntosh models utilize the “Normal”
Remote Control Codes, a few models utilize the “Al-
ternate” Remote Control Codes. To change the HR085
from “Normal (page 1)” to “Alternate (page 2)”
Control Codes perform the following step:
1. Press and hold the SELECT and number 2 Push-
buttons simultaneously (for about 8 seconds) until
the Device Select LED flashes twice.
To change the HR085 back to the Normal Control
Codes perform the following step:
2. Press and hold the SELECT and number 1 Push-
buttons simultaneously (for about 8 seconds) until
the Device Select LED flashes twice.
The HR085 Remote Control has stored into its mem-
ory additional special Control Codes used in previ-
ous McIntosh Remote Controls. These stored Control
Codes can be used for the purpose of learning the
commands for programming other Remote Control(s)
and/or Remote Control Systems. For example, to learn
the Control Code for selection of the “DVD” Input on
the HR070/071 Remote Controls using the “Normal
Control Codes” perform the following steps:
Note: Refer to the top row of information on the
chart on the next page to select “Remote
Control Model” and “Normal” or “Alternate”
Code by entering the “Page _ number” in the
steps.
1. Press and hold the SELECT and number 3 Push-
buttons simultaneously (for about 8 seconds) until
the Device Select LED flashes twice.
2. To learn the “DVD” Input Command press the
numeric keypad “8” to send out the IR Command
to select the DVD Input.
To change the HR085 back to the Normal Control
Codes perform the following step:
2. Press and hold the SELECT and number 1 Push-
buttons simultaneously (for about 8 seconds) until
the Device Select LED flashes twice.
