Remote
The Remote contains buttons like those found on the Top Panel
for standby, selecting sources and changing the rCube volume.
In addition it can also be used to navigate through menus and
tracks on the iPod and change the iPod play mode (to 'shuffle' for
example).
Power and Standby
The remote standby button 2 works in conjunction with the
rear panel power rocker switch. When the rear panel switch is
in the on position pressing the remote power button will toggle
the unit between fully on (blue LED (mains power) or purple
LED (battery power) on the front of the unit) and standby mode
(red LED on the front of the unit). The remote standby button
duplicates the unit's top panel standby button.
Changing the Volume and Muting
The remote volume buttons duplicate the top panel volume
and buttons. A short press of + or - will increase or decrease
the rCube's volume a small amount (there are 52 volume steps)
or you can press and hold these buttons to ramp the volume
up or down. The top panel volume + and - LEDs will flash to
confirm volume adjustment. Pressing the mute button will put
the unit into 'Mute' . When muted, both volume LEDs (- & +) are
illuminated and no sound will come from the device. Press Mute
again to release the Mute function and allow it to play.
iPod Charging
The rCube, like the ARCAM irDock, has user control over iPod
charging for longer battery life and better sound quality. By
default, the rCube always charges iPods when mains or battery
power is available and the rCube is switched on. iPod charging
is not available in Standby mode. You can manually prevent
charging by pressing the
the charge indicator will disappear from the iPod screen and iPod
charging will cease until the button is pressed again, the iPod is
re-inserted or until the rCube is switched back on.
