Russound MCA-C5 User and Installation Manual

Using Learning

The SRC-C5 includes a Learning feature so you can add functions that are unique

to your home entertainment devices (e.g., VCR Tracking Up or Down). The following

precautions apply:

The original remote control must be in working order and available for learning to

work properly.
Learned keys are mode specific, so each one can store a unique function for each

mode.
Do not use the following keys for learning: Device Keys, SET, Back, or Record.

Learning capacity is approximately 40 to 100 keys, depending on the code being

learned.
Certain device codes are not learnable including multi-frequency types, some high

frequency ones, and other unusual formats.
For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as natural sunlight or

energy-efficient fluorescent lights.

Changing Volume Lock

The SRC-C5 remote is preset to allow independent volume control of each selected

device (Global Volume Unlock). However, you may change the Volume Lock setting to

Global Volume Lock so that one device’s volume will control volume in all other modes.

After that, you can perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected device to set its

volume control for independent operation or Global Volume Unlock to remove all

volume locking.
Locking Volume Control to One Mode (Global Volume Lock)

Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

1.

Enter 9-9-3 and then press the mode key for the device you want to control volume

(e.g., TV). The LED blinks twice. Now when you press VOL+, VOL-, or Mute, the

selected device will control the volume regardless of the current mode.

Unlocking All Volume Control (Restoring Global Unlock)

Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

Unlocking a Single Device’s Volume Control

Press a device key (VID, DVD, etc.).

1.

Press and hold SET until the red LED blinks twice, then release.

2.

Enter 9-9-3 and then press VOL-. The LED blinks four times. Volume is independently

this step again until a successful capture occurs. If the function is still not captured,

press and hold SET to exit programming. Review the learning precautions listed

above, or the Troubleshooting tips below, before beginning again at step 1.

Repeat steps 4-6 for another key on same device, or repeat steps 1-6 for another
