Using the Matrix D-RC Remote

Overview

The IR remote controls that are supplied by the manufacturer of each audio source component are used for programming the Delta Controller. Each keypad has an integrated IR receiver to detect and process IR commands from the Matrix Remote as if the keypad had been accessed directly. However, the IR receiver on the keypads will not “pass” IR commands issued by the audio source component remotes. It is intended to receive the remote IR signals generated by the Matrix remote or by learning-remotes that have stored the Matrix remote codes.

If you would like to use a universal type “learning” remote instead of the Matrix D-RC, teach the learning remote all of the Matrix D-RC command buttons. The universal remote then emulates all of the commands transmitted to the keypad as if it were a Matrix D-RC remote. If you teach the learning remote (or use) the source component’s original remote commands, it will not work with the keypad IR receivers in the zone. Essentially, the keypad IR receiver must “think” that the command is coming from the Matrix D-RC remote. If you have successfully programmed the Delta Controller, teaching a learning remote the Matrix buttons should be quick and easy.

When aimed at an IR receiving Matrix keypad, the remote will emulate all the same functions that any Matrix keypad can issue (FIG. 66).

FIG. 66 Using the Matrix D-RC Remote

It is important to note that if you want to use any type of “universal learning” remote control device to operate through the Delta system, you must teach this device the Matrix remote commands (instead of directly using the source component remote commands).

The Matrix keypad’s IR receiver is calibrated only for the narrow bandwidth of the Matrix remote and will not work directly with other source component remotes. Any “learning” remote will essentially emulate Matrix remote commands that (depending on the source selection) have already been programmed into Delta through the initial device programming process.
