Remote control use in a multi- room system

Your IntelliControl® ICS DMS4 Digital Music Server remote control can be configured so that every button press indicates to the system which output is to be controlled. This means that whenever infrared is received by the DMS4 Digital Music Server the TV display will automatically switch to controlling the appropriate output.

To configure the remote controller with a default output

•Press the Audio Server and OSelect keys simultaneously on the remote control; hold them down for 1 second

The Audio Server key will remain lit for 20 seconds; the configuration process must be completed during this time.

•Enter the 3 digit code into the hand-held remote control corresponding to the output you would like to control (valid configurations are listed in Appendix A). For example, to set output 2 as your default output press:

0, 0, 2

•Press the remote’s Audio Server button again

The Audio Server button will blink twice to indicate that the configuration has been accepted. If the Audio Server button does not blink twice begin the process again, taking care to enter the number correctly.

Pressing any navigation key on the remote should now cause the DMS4 Digital Music Server to switch to the correct output. The remote control can still be used to control a different audio output in the normal way; pressing the Home Output key will return it to controlling the default output.

Volume control via the Remote

In addition to controlling the volume with the IntelliContol® system, your DMS4 Digital Music Server remote control is capable of controlling the volume of the music you are listening to. This is done either by controlling the output of the DMS4 Digital Music Server itself, or by reassigning the volume control keys to control the output of your amplifier. Ignore this section if your installer has installed your system such that volume settings are entirely controlled by your in-wall or hand-held IntelliControl® system.

Controlling the Volume of the DMS4 Digital Music Server Directly from the Remote

Each audio output must be configured individually to allow its volume to be controlled by the remote control.

Controlling the volume of an output

•Navigate to the Settings menu

•Use the U and V keys to select Output Configuration and press OSelect

•Use the U and V keys to select an audio output and press OSelect

•From the menu that appears choose Volume and press

OEdit

•Select Variable and press MSave

The rVolume and sMute keys on the remote control will now control the volume of the chosen audio output.

Reassigning the Remote’s Volume Control to the Amplifier Output

The rVolume and sMute keys on the remote control can be configured to control the volume on your amplifier while the Audio Server device is selected.

To reassign volume control

•Ensure the Amp device is correctly configured to control your amplifier (as described in Configuring Your Remote to Control Other Devices on page 11)

•Press the Audio Server and OSelect keys simultaneously; hold them down for 1 second

The Audio Server key will remain lit for 20 seconds; the configuration process must be completed during this time.

•Press the sMute key

•Press the rVolm key

•Press the Amp device key

The Audio Server device key will blink twice to indicate that the configuration has been accepted. If the Audio Server key does not blink begin the process again, taking care to press the buttons in the correct sequence. The rVolume and sMute keys should now control the amplifier when the Audio Server device is selected.

To return the rVolume and sMute keys to their original configuration repeat the above process, press the Audio Server key instead of the Amp key.
