Problem Five The Pitfalls of Mute

correctly configuring the system for any source. As a result, the components can be placed behind closed doors.

Problem Four: When The System Turns On, The Volume Is Too Low, or Too High

Surround-sound preamps/receivers typically stay at the last volume selected when they are turned off. As a result, turning on a system can sometimes be puzzling because there is no sound, while at other times, turning on a system can be ear-shattering.

IntelliControl Solution: The Volume Resets Automatically At Turn Off

The IntelliControl can be programmed to automatically reset the receiver’s volume to a comfortable level. When the “System Off” key is pressed, the IntelliControl can be programmed to issue the “Volume Down” for as long as necessary to take the preamp/receiver to minimum, then raise it to a comfortable level regardless of how loud or soft the system had been playing. Only then does the IntelliControl turn the system off. The system always turns on at a moderate volume setting. No more puzzling or surprising accidents.

Problem Five: The Pitfalls of Mute

It has been traditional for most surround-sound receivers and preamps to offer the end user a separate “Mute” button. This button has created thousands of service calls worldwide. You press “Mute” once, the system mutes, you press it again and it unmutes. However, the user must remember that the system is muted. If the user forgets, then there is no sound. Or worse, a service call is created.

IntelliControl Solution: Software Managers to Manage Mute

The IntelliControl’s Main System Unit can be programmed to automate the “Mute” command. Now, when one person presses “Mute”, nobody has to remember anything. The IntelliControl remembers. When anyone touches any key, the preamp will unmute.

Problem Six: Infrared Remote Controls Are Line-Of-Sight Only

In a conventional system using a “macro” remote, various problems can occur if the remote control is not pointed correctly, or not held steadily in one position until all of its commands are issued. If the user’s hand slips, or someone walks by, some of the commands may not be received. Annoying problems, which are exaggerated in larger rooms, will occur.

IntelliControl Solution: Radio Frequency Commands Between the Tabletop Remote Control and the System

The IntelliControl issues a single RF “automation” command when a button is pushed. Because radio signals operate at any angle and cannot be physically blocked, the system’s automation is extremely reliable. All macros are issued by the MSU, which feeds IR commands directly to the components. The IntelliControl provides the end-user with one-touch operation every time.
