teach IR commands to your remote

If you are the owner of the AVP2 (rather than a professional installer), this sec- tion is likely to be of little interest. It’s the one section you should feel free to skip entirely. In it, we will cover:

•teaching new IR commands from the AVP2 to a learning remote control

•programming the two DC “trigger” outputs on the Audio Video Preamplifier

•the use of the rear panel IR input

•the use of the rear panel RS-232 port

•integrating the AVP2 into a PHAST home automation system

•using the AVP2 with other Madrigal “PHAST-Linked” products

In short, you may have to be a bit of a gearhead to enjoy this section. Feel free to skip it if this sort of thing puts you to sleep.

The AVP2 itself can transmit all of the IR commands to which it can respond from its main display window, enabling you to teach a learning remote both the standard commands available from the AVP2 remote and a number of other, op- tional commands which you might find useful.

When using the AVP2 itself to teach new commands to your remote control, your remote will (obviously) have to be in its learning mode. Therefore, to avoid inad- vertently learning menu-navigation commands from the AVP2 remote, you must navigate the on screen menus by using the buttons on the front panel of the AVP2. The buttons on the front panel you need to use are as follows:

•recall: the menu function is provided by the recall button. In order to activate the on screen menus rather than simply recalling the calibrated output level settings, press and hold the recall button un- til the front panel lights are turned off (about ten seconds). From this point on until you exit the menu system, the recall button will perform exactly as the menu button on the remote control would.

•volume knob: the front panel volume knob operates in the same fashion as volume ± buttons on the remote control.

•mute: the enter function is provided by the standby button on the front panel (when the AVP2 is in menu mode).

1ENTER THE SETUP MENU

2SELECT “CUSTOM,” AND THEN “TEACH REMOTE”

3TO RELEARN THOSE FUNCTIONS WHICH HAVE CORRESPONDING FRONT PANEL BUTTONS, CHOOSE “PANEL BUTTONS”

The on screen display will prompt you to press any button. Line up the IR window of the AVP2 remote control with the right side of the main display of the AVP2, at a distance of approximately 6"-12". Select the to-be-learned button on the remote, then press the corresponding button on the AVP2.

The display will generate a marquis to let you know that the IR signal has been transmitted. You may repeat this process until all buttons have been learned.

To exit, press and hold the recall button (which serves as a menu button when you use front panel controls within the menu system—merely press- ing it in this case will result in the recall command being transmitted).
