Remote Control
The remote control for operation of the digital versatile disc (DVD) autochanger is a universal infrared type. A switch on the rear of the control selects either the left hand or right hand screens and allows the individual settings for each screen to be changed as required. The switch has a central position which disables the remote control and prevents battery drain.
The remote control transmits an infrared signal in response to operation of a button. The signal is received by a sensor located on each RSE liquid crystal display (LCD) screen and is passed, via an IS bus to the RSE module. From the RSE module the signal is passed on an Alpine proprietary bus known as the Ai Net, to the digital versatile disc (DVD) autochanger. The remote control also allows selection of an auxiliary input from the AVIO panel (video or games console) or selection of audio (radio or compact disc (CD)).
The remote control is powered by two 'AAA' batteries located in the rear of the control and are accessible by removing a sliding cover. When inserting the batteries it is important that the battery polarity is observed as marked in the battery compartment. light emitting diode (LED)'s at the top left and right hand corner of the control indicates that the remote control is operating when a button is pressed. Only one light emitting diode (LED) will illuminate depending on which screen is selected. If the light emitting diode (LED)'s fail to illuminate when a button is pressed, the battery voltage may be low or the switch on the rear of the control may be set in the central 'off' position.
