Operation

Important note: This product was initially shipped in the “Transport” state.

This is the same as being turned OFF, and is intended to preserve the

internal battery. It must be activated prior to initial use. (Please refer to the

Remote activation section below)

Features

The remote can control a range of devices.

The remote has an internal motion sensor that will, in low light conditions, activate the LEDs when picked up or

otherwise moved. This feature can be turned on (default) or off.

The LED brightness can be adjusted in multiple steps from off to full brightness. When ON, the amount of time that

the LEDs are activated (on) after it senses a lack of motion in low light conditions, can be set by the user.

The software and hardware versions can be displayed by counting the number of times a specific LED illuminates.

The user can restore the factory defaults at any time.

The remote can be set to transmit several Direct commands. (Non toggle). This is useful for a learning remote or

programming a non-Aesthetix remote, or controller device.

Operation Detail

Remote Activation (Active/Transport Mode)

Initially the remote must be activated, or taken out of Transport Mode. To do this, press and hold the STANDBY

button. While holding Standby, press the MENU button, and then let go of both. The LEDs will blink 5 times to

acknowledge that this sub menu is active. The Up and Down LEDs will be illuminated. Press the UP button to

activate the remote, or press the DOWN button to put it into Transport mode (Off). Regardless of whether or not the

remote is activated or put into transport mode, once the UP or DOWN button is pressed, the LEDs will blink 5 times

to confirm the user input, and exit this sub menu. Note: If the factory defaults are loaded, this feature will be On.

Command Set

This feature allows the user to select the Aesthetix device it will be controlling. The factory default is the Metis

preamplifier.

Changing the device to be controlled requires the user to press and hold the STANDBY button and, while holding

Standby, press the MUTE button. Then let go of both. The LEDs will blink 5 times to acknowledge that this sub

menu is active. Press the UP button to select (or verify) that the remote will control the Metis Preamplifier (System

code16). The LEDs will blink 5 times to confirm the user input, and exit this sub menu.

Secondary System Commands

Some preamplifiers can be set to a secondary system code. This is useful when there is one device in the audio

system that is pre-set to a system code used by another device.

LED Brightness

This setting will allow the user to set all of the LEDs to a desired brightness level.

To set the brightness, press and hold the STANDBY button. While holding Standby, press the LEVEL UP(+) button

and then let go of both. The LEDs will blink 5 times to acknowledge that this sub menu is active. Repeatedly

pressing the UP button increases the LED brightness, or repeatedly pressing the DOWN button decreases the LED

brightness, or ultimately turns them Off. The brightness will change only one level per button press and will be

visible in the buttons. The least bright is the factory default. To exit this sub menu, press the MENU button. The

LEDs will blink 5 times to confirm the user input and exit this sub menu.

When the LED brightness is set to off, the LEDs will only illuminate when entering a sub menu.

Motion Sense

The remote reads the ambient light level in a room. If it is low and the remote senses motion, all LEDs will turn on,

and stay on as long as there is continuous motion. When no motion is detected for the amount of time set in the

LED Timer sub menu, the LEDs will turn off. The Motion Sense feature can be turned on or off. The factory default

is On.

If disabled, to enable the Motion Sense feature, press and hold the STANDBY button. While holding Standby, press

the UP button and then let go of both. The LEDs will blink 5 times to acknowledge that this sub menu is active, and

the UP / Down buttons will be illuminated. Press the UP button. To disable this feature, while in this sub menu, press

the DOWN button. The LEDs will blink 5 times to confirm the user selection and exit this sub menu.

LED Timer

If the LEDs are set to ON in the LED Brightness sub menu (default), the amount of time they can be set to stay on

after detecting no motion can be set by the user.

To set the LED Timer to 1 second, press and hold the STANDBY button. While holding Standby, press the RIGHT

ARROW button and then let go of both. The LEDs will blink 5 times to acknowledge that this sub menu is active.

Press the UP button. The LEDs will blink 5 times to confirm the user selection and exit this sub menu.

The chart below details the button sequences utilized for the available range of timer settings. The factory default is

5 seconds.

Factory Defaults

To restore the factory default settings, press and hold the STANDBY button. While holding Standby, press the

INPUT (>) button and then let go of both. The LEDs will blink 5 times to acknowledge that this sub menu is active

and the Vol Up (+) button till be illuminated. Press the VOL UP (+) button. The LEDs will blink 5 times to confirm the

user selection and exit this sub menu. The remote will now operate with factory settings.

At the point of entering this sub menu, if the choice is made to abort this operation (keep settings as they are), press

any button other than the illuminated Vol Up (+) button. The LEDs will blink 5 times to confirm the user selection and

exit this sub menu.

Software Version

To display the current software version, press and hold the STANDBY button. While holding Standby, press the

DISPLAY button and then let go of both. All LEDs will turn off for one second and then the UP button LED will blink

X times. The total number of times it blinks is the software version number. After the last blink, the remote will

automatically exit this sub menu and return to normal operation.

Hardware Version

To display the current hardware version, press and hold the STANDBY button. While holding Standby, press the

LEFT ARROW button and then let go of both. All LEDs will turn off for one second and then the UP button LED will

blink X times. The total number of times it blinks is the hardware version number. After the last blink, the remote will

automatically exit this sub menu and return to normal operation.

Battery Replacement

Should the internal battery need to be checked or replaced, remove the 4 screws on the rear panel. The battery will

be visible as should be its identification numbers. Remove and re-seat the battery by grasping it with 2 fingers in the

areas where there is no surrounding plastic, and pulling upwards. Upon re-inserting the battery, all LEDs should

illuminate temporarily unless the installed battery is dead or the remote is not activated (Transport mode).

Verify that the remote is activated by pressing and holding the STANDBY button. While holding Standby, press the

MENU button, and then let go of both. The LEDs should blink 5 times to acknowledge that this sub menu is active.

The Up and Down LEDs should then be illuminated. If this is the case, press the UP button to activate the remote.

The LEDs will blink 5 times to confirm the user input, and exit this sub menu.

If the remote will not enter the Activate sub menu after the battery has been re-seated, replace the battery with a

new CR2450.

SPECIAL NOTE: Regulations for disposal and recycling of batteries vary widely; local governments

may have additional requirements over those of national regulations.
