Programming the Delta System

Accommodating Multiple Device Programming

Programming is an interactive exercise between you, the Delta Controller and the audio source remote control, which may vary from unit to unit. You will learn the techniques to best train the Delta Controller through some trial and error and observation. The audio source remote should be located about 6-12 inches away from the IR receiver on the Delta Controller. The path between the devices should be unobstructed with a clear line of sight. Fluorescent light fixtures and bright sunlight may interfere with the learning process, so you may choose to shade the IR receiver with a sheet of paper or other practical means. When possible use only incandescent lighting during the programming session. During programming, distance between the remote and the Delta Controller is also important. If the remote is too close to the unit the IR signal will overload the learner. If it’s to far away, it might not learn due to weak signals strength. A bit of trial and error will quickly get you to the correct distance.

Your programming technique may need to be modified on a remote-by-remote basis. Some remotes may need to be closer to or further away from the Delta Controller. Some may program better with quick key presses and some with long key presses. Some may require a change in distance and angle between the remote and the Delta Controller. If a particular method doesn’t seem to be working for you, try to modify your approach to understand the characteristic behavior of the source component remote so that it can “speak” to the Delta Controller correctly.

Program Panel

The programming controls (also called the “navigational array”) and the IR receiver are located on the front of the Delta Controller. The four directional buttons allow you to navigate through the menu screens. The center button is used to make selections (as if to press OK or ENTER).

Enter the Program Mode

Press the center button on the front panel to enter the Main Menu. This will display four options, Setup, Preferences, About and Exit (FIG. 19).

FIG. 19 Enter the Program Mode

The menu selection immediately defaults to the Exit selection in the first screen. Navigational buttons (Left/Right/Up/Down) allow user to navigate through menu item.

Nav UP & Nav << both move the cursor UP or “back”. Nav.

DOWN & Nav >> both move the cursor DOWN or “forward”

The center button allows user to select menu items.

Exit” takes user back to previous screen. In the first program menu screen, this would then take you back to “default” screen (with the “M”).
