Xantech IR-DC4 RC68 Button Descriptions, RC68 Code Switches Settings, Installation, Overlay

Page 2

CAUTION: While the RC68 will operate as a separate remote control, it is highly recommended it not be given to the final user for the following reasons:

Since it includes adjustable code settings, the user may inadvertently alter the installer configurations.

Also, since the user will require IR commands from other brands of equipment to control the total system, in addition to those of the DC4, all commands should be consolidated into one learning device, for ease of use.

Three different IR code settings are needed to operate the 3 player

zones of the DC4. To set the RC68 for the desired IR code, proceed as follows:

1.Rotate the upper switch, on the rear of the RC68 to D. Refer to Fig. 3.

2.Rotate the lower switch to 1, 2, or 3, as needed. See below:

INSTALLATION

Fig. 4 illustrates a basic IR control system in which the IR-DC4 permits direct IR control of the Digilink 4. Make connections as shown, keeping the following in mind:

1.Be sure to add a small jumper between the IR GND and PWR GND on the IR-DC4 as shown. This provides a ground return for the IR signal coming from the CB12 Connecting Block.

2.Plug the 781RG Power Supply and the power plug of the DC4 into AC wall outlets only after all other connections have been made.

3.Use the RC68 to teach a learning remote the commands for each of the DC4 players.

Fig. 5 is a typical multi-room version of a direct IR control system for the Digilink 4. In this case, Xantech Smart Pad2 keypads are used as well as IR receivers. The system is configured as follows:

1.The DC4 is the audio music source in the system using an A/V receiver, along with other A/V sources.

2.A 789-44 four-output Connecting Block is used so that other system components can be IR controlled in addition to the DC4. If even more components need to be controlled, a ten-output amplified connecting block, model 791-44, could be used.
