IR Receive

When an IR signal is received by the VSC, it is sent directly to the Hi-Fi processor. Upon receiving the IR data, the Hi-Fi processor will decode it and process certain commands locally and route all IR data to connected source equipment. IR must be enabled for the VSC to send IR data to the amplifier.

Locally Processed IR

The twelve items that are locally processed at the amplifier are mute toggle, volume increment, volume decrement, source change (one IR command for each of the six sources), power toggle, power on, and power off. When you press any of these remote buttons, the IR data is sent to the Hi-Fi processor. The Hi-Fi processor will respond by changing the required zone settings. Then the IR signal is routed to the audio source that the zone is connected to. For example, when you press the mute toggle button on the IR remote pointed at Zone 1 (connected to Source 3), the Hi-Fi processor will respond by muting Zone 1 and routing the IR data to Source 3.

If the volume increment or decrement IR command is received when the VSC is displaying either the volume or source, then the display on the VSC is updated with the new volume. If the zone is currently muted and the VSC is displaying either the volume or source, then the first volume increment or decrement IR command will turn mute off and any subsequent commands will result in the volume increasing or decreasing. Similarly if any of the source IR commands are received when the VSC is displaying either the volume or source, then the display on the VSC is updated to show the new source.
