Introduction
Welcome to the Primare C31 Remote Control. This booklet explains how to use
the C31 to operate all the units in your Primare system.
WELCOME TO THE C31 REMOTE CONTROL
The elegant C31 Remote Control allows you to operate all the units in your
Primare system with a set of simple and logical push button controls.
Ergonomic design
The C31 is designed to be extremely comfortable to hold, and its weight
makes it easy to balance it in the palm of a hand while operating the controls.
Its durable construction ensures that it will continue to operate perfectly for
many years to come.
Future proof
The C31 has been designed so that it can be upgraded to control future
products in the Primare range, not yet introduced, by the simple operation of
adding an upgrade chip.
CODE BUTTON
The CODE button allows you to select which Primare unit is controlled by the
C31 Remote Control.
Pressing the CODE button switches between the following three modes, as
shown by the CODE light:
CODE light Controls
Off CD players, P30/SP30 Processor, tuners, and integrated amplifiers.
On DVD players, P30/SP30 Processor, tuners, and integrated amplifiers.
Flashing CD players, PRE30 Preamplifier, and tuners.
Note: After a short delay the CODE light dims to conserve the batteries. It will
light up again as soon as you operate any of the buttons.
DISABLING PRE30 MODE
If you do not have a PRE30 Preamplifier you can disable PRE30 mode as
follows:
•Remove the C31 batteries, as described below.
•Replace the batteries while holding down the STBY button.
To restore PRE30 mode:

CHANGING THE BATTERIES
If the CODE light does not illuminate clearly when you press the CODE button
you should replace the C31’s batteries.
Note: The batteries should be replaced with two alkaline type AAA 1.5 volt
batteries.
To do this proceed as follows:
•Remove the four screws on the back panel of the C31, using a small cross
point precision screwdriver.
•Gently lift up the back panel and put it to one side.
•Remove the two batteries from the battery compartment and replace with
two alkaline size AAA 1.5 Volt batteries, taking care to fit them with the
correct polarity as marked on the inside of the battery compartment.
Do not touch the circuit board as you may damage the sensitive electrical
components.
Please be considerate to the environment when disposing of the old batteries.
•Replace the back panel and secure it in place using the four screws.
