OVERVIEW

By default, the connected keypads and the R-8L hand-held remote will control source selection, AM/FM tuner functions, iPod functions, zone volume level, and on/off for the zone and system. To enable full control of any other connected source devices, the IR command codes for these source devices must be learned and stored in the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver. The keypads and R-8L hand-held remote will then control the source devices by sending the IR command codes stored in the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver through MicroFlashers attached to the source devices.

HOW IR COMMAND CODES ARE ENTERED AND STORED

The source device IR command codes are entered in the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver using the source device factory remote controls. The ZR-6 supplies each source device with a memory page to store its IR command codes. The individual command codes (Play, Pause, etc.) are stored in memory cells within each page, pre-labeled to match the commands available on the R-8L remote control.

LIBRARY 1 AND VS-6/LIBRARY 2

In addition to the fi ve source device IR storage pages, the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver provides two additional areas to store IR command codes: Library 1 or the VS-6/Library 2. The Libraries are typically used to store the IR command codes from non-source devices such as draperies, television lifts, or other codes that the installer prefers to be easily accessible. By default, Library 1 is empty and Library 2 is fi lled with the IR command codes for the Niles VS-6 Component High Defi nition Video Switcher (see VS-6 IR Command Set section). If a VS-6 is not being used, new IR command codes can be learned in place of these.

IR COMMAND CODE PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

The source device IR command code programming is organized into source device memory pages, and then command code memory cells within the memory pages.

The source device memory pages appear in this order:
