Volume Reset

The “Volume Reset” feature enables you to configure the system to automatically lower the volume to minimum and raise it to any desired level when the “System Off” key is pressed.

Note: This feature will only work if the Preamp’s “Volume Up” and “Volume Down” commands are taught to the “Volume Up” and “Volume Down” keys on the Default page.

In the IntelliFile II software, program the appropriate commands to the “Default” page as described in “Step 3 – Program Function Key IR Commands and Sequences”. Then, press the Edit key on the “Utilities” page, and adjust the appropriate slider to set the duration of the “Volume Down” and “Volume Up” commands in order to reconfigure the system to turn on to a comfortable level.

IR Routing

Enabling the “IR Routing” feature allows you to program up to eight components with identical IR codes. Note: A complete description of the IR Routing feature is detailed in the IntelliFile®II help file.

When IR routing is enabled, the system will operate as follows:

1.“Component Power” commands as well as Function Key commands taught to the selected Master Key page are issued from that Master Key’s flasher port only.

2.When enabled, “IR Routing” routes IR codes issued from Master Key flasher ports 1 through 8 only!

3.Commands taught to the Function Keys on Master Key pages 9 and 10 as well as all commands on Library pages 1 and 2 come out of all flasher ports, even with “IR Routing” enabled.

4.“TV Power”, “Preamp Power”, “TV Input Select”, “Preamp Select”, and “Preamp Surround Mode Select” commands as well as all Function Key commands taught to the Default page come out of the TV, Preamp, Master Key 9, and Master Key 10 flasher ports only.

When IR Routing is disabled, the system will operate as follows: 1. All codes come out of all flasher ports all the time.

Dual TV

Enable the “Dual TV” feature to accommodate a system using two TV’s (i.e. both a direct view TV and projector in a home theater). Program as described in the IntelliFile II Reference Manual “Step 5 – Program Dual TV”.

In a Dual TV system, one television is designated the “Default” or favorite TV. It is assigned to the TV sync and flasher connections. The second television is assigned to Master Key 1’s sync and flasher connections. The label you use for Master Key 1 should be “Switch TV”, “TV/Proj”, or “Swap”.

In a Dual TV system, all video switching should be done through the preamp, and the output split to both TVs. Only one TV will be on at a time, so there will be no signal degradation.
