USING THE BLUESOUND RC1
Setup
Remove the back panel of the remote using a nail or coin, and insert the two
3V batteries included with the remote. Once the batteries are inserted, you
can simply point the RC1 at your Bluesound player to start controlling your
music.
Presets
With the preset buttons on the RC1 you can access your presets 1 to 1 O
quickly without opening the BluOS app. For more information regarding creating
presets, visit support.bluesound.com.
Changing Channels
If you are using multiple Bluesound players in your home environment, you can
change the channel the remote uses to prevent unintended commands from being
sent to one of your players. To ensure your RC1 works correctly with your
player, you will need to have both RC1 and player configured for the same
channel.
– Changing the Channel on your RC1 Press and hold both the Network Standby
(power) button and the preset button corresponding with the channel you would
like to use for 1 O seconds until the LED at the top of your RC1 flashes
green. The RC1 can be programmed from channel O to channel 7. To change to
channel 0, hold both Network Standby and preset 1 O.
– Changing the Channel on your Bluesound Player To change the channel being
used by your Bluesound player, open the BluOS app, select the player you would
like to configure, then go to Settings > Player > IA Remote > BluOS Remote.
From here you will see
an option for IR Channel where you can configure your player from channel o to
channel 7.
