3B. Function Key Memory Limitations

look to that memory address location on the “Default” page of memory to see if a “Function Key IR” command (or a “Function Key Sequence”) is stored there. If there is information programmed to that particular address on the “Default” page, the IntelliControl will issue whatever code (or sequence of codes) is stored there.

Therefore, the “Default” page is the memory location for IR commands which are universal to all of the components in the Home Theater system. An example of this would be the Preamp/receiver’s “Volume Up and Down”, and “Mute” commands. You simply do not program any IR commands to the “Volume Up/Down” and “Mute” Keys on the ten source pages, and let the IntelliControl issue the commands stored to those locations on the “Default” page.

If the user constantly adjusts picture or surround-sound, you could choose to assign the “Menu” group of keys as a universal feature, so that no matter what Master Key is currently selected, the “Menu” keys will access the customer’s desired functions.

Purpose of the Library Pages

There are two additional pages of memory addresses called “Library 1” and “Library 2”. The “Library” pages are only used to store codes which will be included in sequences. Codes taught to the Library pages are not directly accessible by the end-user (unless they are included in a sequence, of course!).

3B. Function Key Memory Limitations

The IntelliControl has thirteen pages in total, with 32 Function Keys giving you 416 total possible Function Key addresses including the “Default” and “Library” pages. Of those 416 addresses, only 320 addresses are accessible for manual operation by the end-user.

The IntelliControl ships with a 1 Megabit chip for IR code storage for the Function Keys, and has an empty socket for a second 1 Megabit chip. You can order an additional memory chip for especially large and complex systems (FG00735). Depending on the brands you are using, the built in memory will enable you to learn between 284 and 475 IR codes.

Note: Typically, since many address locations go unused, less than 200 IR codes are taught to Function Key addresses and the additional chip is not needed. The configuration memory used for the Master Keys is completely separate and cannot be exhausted.

The following is a list of the estimated maximum number of IR codes that can be stored in one memory chip if all of the codes are from one of the following brands:

Denon	378
Harman/Kardon	475
Lexicon	378
Marantz	475
Mitsubishi	284
NEC	378
(More than 50% of all Audio/Video
remote controls use NEC codes)
Onkyo	369
Pioneer	378
