MCINTOSH HR093 Remote Control Compatible with Amplifier User Guide

Since McIntosh equipment lasts many decades, and Remotes can be dropped, lost, or chewed by dogs, it’s inevitable that some people will require a new Remote or two over time. There have been many McIntosh Remotes over the years, and not all of them are currently available.
The HR093 has been designed to replace some older model Remotes while maintaining much of the functionality of the original Remote. Some differences are inevitable (Laser Disk anyone?). The chart to the left shows the button assignments of the HR093 compared to previous models.

Installing Batteries

The HR093 requires two CR2032 Lithium Coin/Button Cell batteries which have been supplied and will occasionally need to be replaced.

WARNING

DO NOT INGEST BATTERY, CHEMICAL BURN HAZARD

The remote control supplied with this product contains a coin/ button cell battery. If the coin/button cell battery is swallowed, it can cause severe internal burns in just 2 hours and can lead to death. Keep new and used batteries away from children. If the battery compartment does not close securely, stop using the product and keep it away from children. If you think batteries might have been swallowed or placed inside of the body, seek immediate medical attention.

Using a small flathead screw driver, or simliar flat sturdy object, pry open the battery compartment found on the back of the HR093.

Install the CR2032 with the positive (+) side facing up in the slot sliding the battery under the small lip by the “+” symbol.

To remove battery, lift by inserting a small object in the small gap opposite the lip, and pry upwards. Dispose of the battery in accordance with the local regulations for lithium battery disposal.

Changing Pages and Alternate Control Codes

The HR093 has nine “pages” of commands. Each page will use either “normal” or “alternate” IR hex codes. The default setup for the HR093 is Page 1 which uses Normal codes. Page 2 contains the same command set, but uses alternate codes. Itmay be necessary to use alternate codes if two units share the same control codes. Switching one unit to alternate codes will allow conflict free control of both units. The HR073 Remote uses alternate codes by default so the HR093 must by switched to alternate codes to replace that Remote.

The additional pages of the HR093 will allow buttons to send different commands. There are also additional pages containing some commands that have no direct button on the HR093. Using these pages will allow you to access additional commands, and use them to teach a learning Remote or control system. These codes and pages are listed on the chart on the back page of this guide.

To change the current page of the HR093, simultaneously hold the SELECT button and the desired page number for about 8 seconds. The light around the top left button will blink a number of times corresponding to the new page number. To return to normal control codes, hold SELECT and the number 1 button as just described. The light will blink once.

Using the SETUP button

To access the secondary commands written in blue above some buttons, push and release the SETUP button (Blue Circle), then choose a command (namely OUTPUT1 or OUTPUT2).
