17.1 Using R-com

R-com keys primarily provide control of the functions most 
often used on CD players, preamplifiers, integrated amplifiers 
and tuners. In order to extend battery life, R-com will enter a 
“sleep” mode when unused. It will “wake” on being touched.

R-com has three operational modes - CD Player mode, 
Preamplifier/Integrated amplifier mode and Tuner mode. Its 
default mode is CD player. When awake in CD Player mode, 
all R-com keys will illuminate green. To switch the R-com into 
Preamplifier/Integrated amplifier mode or Tuner mode press 
the 

pre

 or 

tun

 keys respectively. The 

pre

 or 

tun

illuminate white. To switch R-com back into CD player mode
