Programming the Delta System

Overview

Programming and IR Capture take place on the front panel of the Delta Controller. Settings such as Bass, Treble, and Balance functions are programmed from within any zone using the keypad. We suggest you read this section carefully in its entirety BEFORE starting to program the Delta Controller. This will allow you to obtain a general understanding of what you will see and what to expect when you go through the programming exercise.

Careful planning, documentation and experimentation on your part with the sources prior to taking the programming on will allow you to experience an easy and painless installation.

Programming is EASY and only seems complicated if you are trying to solve all operating issues at the same time! Please take the time to read this section carefully.

Preparation for Programming

Make certain you have all the documentation and accessories for each source component (the operator’s manuals, the remote controls with working batteries. You may need to reference their manuals to learn the operation of the equipment and you will certainly need to use the remotes to “teach” Delta what commands it must emulate. Since new equipment is rarely shipped with the batteries installed, make sure the batteries are installed or, in the case of an existing source component, make sure the batteries in the remote are functional.

The key to successful programming is to understand how each of the source components operates. By determining how you would like the components to function as part of the home audio system you will be able to spend less time on the programming phase of the installation. You should take some time to familiarize yourself with the basic operation of the source component’s remote control to better understand the operating characteristics of the device and which functions you wish to program into the Delta Controller. If you can operate and manage the audio device as a stand alone unit, it will aid you in determining which functions you want to program into the Delta Controller.

Programming Worksheets

Before getting started, please outline how the system is intended to operate using Matrix Audio’s “Programming Worksheets”. This outline will assist you in setting up the remote training session as well as the other Delta functions. You will find this worksheet will not only help you plan in advance how the keypad buttons will perform each function, but they will also assist in the event that IR codes, Presets, or other settings need to be re-learned or changed down the road. This will reduce the time needed to program/reprogram the Controller and keypads. It will also be your guide should any of the audio devices need to be changed out or upgraded in the future. You will know what the original device’s configuration looked like so the keypads can be labeled in the same configuration.

Consistency in the keypad programming and clear documentation will reduce frustration and shorten the operational learning curve for your client. Remember that even though an experienced user will find Delta operation easy, the first time user will do best when a “pattern of operation” is established through consistent, thoughtful programming. A copy of the programming worksheet is available on the following page (FIG. 18).
