REMOTE CONTROL OVERVIEW
The MC-8 remote control provides full operation of the MC-8,
including commands, such as menu navigation, that are not available
from the front panel. The command matrix, beginning on page 2-14,
indicates the commands that the remote control buttons perform
when each command bank is active. The numbered items in the
matrix correspond with the remote control illustrations.
OPERATION CONSIDERATIONS
The following factors can improve or impede remote control
operation.
Note the following before operating the MC-8 remote control:
• The remote control must be in line of sight with the front- panel
IR receiver. Eliminate obstructions between the remote control
and the IR receiver. The remote control may become unreliable
if strong sunlight or fluorescent light shines on the IR receiver.
• For optimal performance, position the remote control at a
30-degree angle no more than 17 feet (5m) from the MC-8.
Placing the MC-8 inside a smoked glass cabinet will reduce the
remote control range.
• Remote controllers for different components can interfere with
one another. Avoid using remote controls for different compo-
nents at the same time.
• Remote control batteries should be replaced as needed.
