Niles Audio 8 manual Mute Manager, Memory Usage

Page 41

If the system is completely “Off”, a Dual TV system will turn on the “Default” TV if any video Master Key is pressed. If the user presses “Switch TV” (Master Key 1) the “Default” TV will turn off, and “TV2” will turn on. Until the “System Off” key is pressed, “TV2” will remain on, regardless of what video source is selected. If the user presses the “Switch TV” Master Key again, “TV2” will turn off, and the “Default” TV will turn back on.

Note: The Dual TV feature does not enable you to watch both TV’s at the same time. If this type of operation is desired, one of your Master Keys should be dedicated to the secondary television and it should be treated as another source component. “IR Routing” must be enabled if the two TVs are the same brand.

Also Note: In the IntelliFile II’s “Audio Scene Setting” feature, if an “audio only” source is programmed to “turn the TV off when this Master Key is selected”, whichever TV is currently on will be turned off. The next time any video Master Key is selected, the ”Default” TV will turn on.

Mute Manager

The “Mute Manager” feature enables you to automate the preamp’s “Mute” command so that it automatically unmutes the system when any Master Key or Function Key is pressed.

Note: The Preamp’s “Mute” command must be programmed to the “Mute” Function Key on the “Default” page of memory.

Memory Usage

The IntelliFile II’s Memory Usage display tells you what percentage of memory is currently in use. If memory usage exceeds 98% in the Master Key or Function Key display windows, you have exceeded the memory capacity of the IntelliControl® MSU.

Note: If the MSU’s memory capacity has been exceeded, any codes you try to drag and drop into your system configuration will appear in red. If you are doing a very large and complex system, a memory upgrade chip may be required to expand the IntelliControl® ’s memory capacity.

Also Note: Some manufacturer’s IR codes are notorious for consuming excessive memory if not taught properly. These problem codes include RCA/Proscan, Pioneer, and Panasonic. Use brief but deliberate button pushes when teaching these manufacturer’s codes, and test each code after teaching to confirm proper operation. Only hold the key down long enough for the code to be learned properly. Continuous codes (i.e. Volume and Channel) will require slightly longer taps to work as continuous codes.
