OPERATES FROM KEYPADS AND TRANSMITTERS
The RCT-1 will translate 20 Mclntosh commands for
each device either from a keypad or a hand held
transmitter.
EASY TO PROGRAM
To program the RCT-1 you only need a C39/MX130
handheld IR transmitter and the transmitter from the
device you wish to control.
As an example, say you wish to operate a BRAND
X VCR from the C39 IR transmitter.
1. Plug the RCT-1 AC line cord into an outlet.
2. Push the LEARN button on the RCT-1 front
panel. The LEARN LED will flash.
3. Place the Mclntosh C39 transmitter about 6
inches away from the SENSOR window on the
left side of the RCT-1. Push the VCR1 button
on the C39 transmitter. On the RCT-1 the
VCR1 LED will light and the LEARN LED will
continue to flash.
4. Push the PLAY button on the Mclntosh
transmitter. The LEARN LED will light continu-
ously.
5. Place the BRAND X transmitter beside the
Mclntosh (in front of the window) and push
the PLAY button on the BRAND X transmitter.
The STORE LED will flash for about two
seconds to indicate the command has been
memorized. The LEARN LED will start flashing
again.
6. Use the Mclntosh transmitter again and push
the next command you wish to memorize.
Then push the equivalent command on the
BRAND X transmitter. Repeat this process for
up to 20 commands.
7. If a BRAND X command can not be learned
the ERROR LED will flash for about two
seconds.
8. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for each device you
wish to control.
9. When programming is complete, push the
LEARN button on the RCT-1. The LEARN LED
will stop flashing and remain OFF.
10. To use the RCT-1 in a system only a few
connections are required. The DATA INPUT
is connected to the UNSWITCHED (CR10) or
SUM (C39/MX130) DATA PORT and the IR
emitter outputs to emitters placed in front of
the sensors on the foreign devices.
