HT-MSU TRIGGERING REMOTE CONTROL CONSIDERATIONS

Choosing the right IR remote to trigger the HT-MSU is very important. The HT-MSU is a component in the Niles IC2 Home Theater Automation and Control System. This system consists of the HT-MSU, the IC2 Remote, and a Zigbee RF remote that sends RF commands to the HT-MSU

to trigger the activities.

When choosing an IR Remote, consider the functions of the IC2 Remote that you want to duplicate. The IC2 Remote uses eight Master Keys (Activities or Sources) and 36 function keys for each of the Master Keys. The IR remote you choose should have the following features:

1.Eight Source buttons that can be programmed with the Niles Master Key commands.

2) Function Keys broken into the following categories:

a.Transport functions (Play, Stop, Pause, Fast Forward, Rewind and Record)

b.Numeric access the (numbers 1-0, Last, Enter and Favorites/Presets)

c.Menu Navigation functions (Cursor keys, Select, Guide, Info, Exit, menu application-specific keys Red, Green, Yellow and Menu)

d.Volume up/down, Mute and Channel up/down
