Revox Remote Instructions

B77/PR99 Wireless Remote Adapter with Pause Memory Ver 4 & 5

Installation: Turn off the power to the tape deck. Plug the remote adapter into the remote connector on the top or back of the tape deck. Now power can be turned back on. The light on the front of the remote adapter should be on.

The remote adapter controls the standard 6 transport functions: Play, Stop, F.F., Rewind, Record and Pause using any universal remote programmed for the proper Sony VCR code.

The remote adapter can be programmed to respond to various Sony VCR codes. To select between them there are jumpers inside the unit. Remove the two screws on the bottom of the unit and remove the top cover.

Located near the front window is a jumper block with three jumpers. The first two jumpers configure what type of Sony VCR codes the unit will respond to. See the table below for a list of jumper settings.

JMP1	JMP2	Device Code	RCA Remote
JMP	JMP	Beta VCR	VCR-119 *
JMP	OPEN	8mm VCR	VCR-098
OPEN	JMP	VHS VCR	VCR-099
OPEN	OPEN	LDP	----

* = Default jumper selection

Configuring the RCA Universal Remote
To program the RCA remote press and hold the Code Search button until the red light comes on. Release the Code Search button and momentarily press the VCR button then enter the 3 digit code from the table above (default is 119). The red light should blink after each keypress and go out after the last digit is entered. Press the VCR button and press one of the transport control buttons (PLAY, STOP, FF, REW, REC or PAUSE). The light on the front of the remote adapter should blink off momentarily. If the light does not blink off try reprogramming the remote or checking the state of the jumper inside the unit. On the RCA remotes the REC button needs to be pressed twice to activate record.

 

JMP-3 is to enable/disable Pause Memory. When not jumpered this feature is disabled. When jumpered this feature is enabled. By default this feature is disabled (not jumpered) On some Revox decks, pause is only active when the pause button is held down. This isn't very convenient if you stay in pause for very long. When Pause Memory is disabled, the button on the remote must be held down for as long as you want to stay paused. When Pause Memory is enabled you only need to press the Pause button once to enable and then to disable you can press any button on the remote. No longer do you need to hold the button down. On the remote receiver the light to the left (the brighter of the two lights) will light as long as the remote adapter is in Pause.
