The Bluesound RC1 remote allows you to control your music on the BluOS Players* without the BluOS Controller app. The RC1 comes pre-programmed for Bluesound players and requires no configuration out of the box.
Setup
To set up the RC1, remove the remote's rear panel using a nail or coin, then insert the two 3V batteries supplied with the remote. Once the batteries are inserted, you can control your music by aiming the RC1 at your BluOS Player*.
Presets
With the preset buttons on the RC1, you can switch between your presets 1 to 10 quickly without opening the BluOS Controller app. For more information regarding creating presets, refer to our Help Center article.
Programming
On the RC1, both up and down on the navigation dial are programmable and do not have previously assigned commands. You can assign your own commands to these buttons using the BluOS Controller app. Learn more.
Changing Channels
In case you are using several BluOS players* at home that you intend to manage with your RC1, you have the option to modify the remote's channel. This helps avoid unintentional commands being sent to any specific player. To ensure proper compatibility, it's vital to configure both the RC1 and your player to use the same channel.
