I just got a used AVR 300 and it came with a CR-90 remote. The AVR works fine and sounds great, but I haven't been able to figure out how to select the DVD-Audio (aka EXT 7.1 or MCH) 7.1 analog input with the remote control. The previous owner never used the 7.1 inputs, so doesn't know how, either. The input itslef works fine, I have my Oppo BDP-83SE connected to that input and when I manually select it on the front panel it sounds fine. I just haven't been able to figure out how to do it with the CR-90 remote.

There is no dedicated button on the remote for that input and I've tried dozens of key combinations, to no avail. The manual isn't any help, it references the CR-80 remote. The CR-80 was replaced by the CR-90 in later shipments, but the manual was never updated. I did download the CR-90 manual, but still haven't been able to figure it out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

I looked at a CR 80(there is one on Ebay)...It doesn't have a "Multi CH"(what it is labeled on Integra remotes) either.Unless No. 8 cycles through the audio inputs.

It looks like the CR-90 was supplied with the A28 2-channel Integrated Amplifier so it would have no need to include a MCH Input button.

On the CR-80 it looks like Input button number 9 has ""MCH" on it. my guess is you need the CR-80 remote :( .

The Arcam 300 and Oppo 83SE sounds like a real nice combo though :thumbs-up-smiley: .

I was able to swap the CR-90 for a CR-80 and all the functions work now.

And yes, the 83SE and 300 thru Vandy 2Cs are very nice.
