inserting batteries into the

remote control

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 facing the top of the unit,

and two facing the end, 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 firmly into its

locked position with a click.

The cR90 universal remote

controller

This section refers only to the A38. Please note that the

P38 Power Amplifier can only be controlled indirectly

through a pre-amp.
The CR90 is a sophisticated ‘universal’ remote control

that can control up to eight devices. It’s pre-programmed

for use with the A38 and many other Arcam products

(FM/DAB tuners, CD-players and DVD-players).
With its extensive built-in library of codes, it can also be

used with thousands of other audio-visual components

– TVs, satellite and set-top boxes, PVRs and third-party

CD players. See the final section of the CR90 Handbook

for a list of these.
The CR90 is a ‘learning’ remote, so you can teach it

almost any function from an old single-device remote.

You can also program the CR90 to issue a sequence of

commands (‘macros’) from a single button press – see

the CR90 Handbook for details.
As the CR90 is a system remote controller, some of

the keys are not used with the A38. For instance, the

PVr

and

cd

keys can still be programmed to control

products, so if you have a PVR connected directly to

your TV or SAT box, you can use the CR90 to control it

as part of your system.

Source keys

As the CR90 can control your A38 as well as a range of

other equipment, many of the buttons have more than

one function depending on the ‘device mode’ or ‘page’

selected.
The device selection keys:

dVd

,

sAt

,

AV

(TV),

tun

,

AMP

and

AuX

, both select the source and configure the CR90

to control the particular source.
In other words, the buttons are often ‘context sensitive’

so you’ll have to tell it what sort of device you wish

to control (press the

AV

button for a video display, for

example) before you can control it.

Select the source key first

Remember to select a source key before pressing

command buttons – commands vary depending on the

source selected!
