Xantech MRC44 Programming Internal Amplifier Commands, Internal Amplifier Command Window

Model MRC44 Page: 39

4.From the Internal Amplifier Command Window Select “ZONE TOGGLE POWER COMMAND” and set to the appropriate zone number. That command will appear in the Command List.

5.From the Amplifier Command Generator select “ZONE SOURCE SELECT COMMAND” and set to the appropriate zone and source number. That command will now appear in the Command List.

6.From the CD player palette, select the “PLAY” command. It will now appear in the command list.

7.It may be necessary to insert a delay into the sequence between the input and play commands. Using the right and left arrows, set “DELAY” to the desired length. Left click and drag the delay box, into the command list between “INPUT” and “PLAY”. It will appear on the command list.

8.The sequence can be tested with the PC connected to the MRC44 com port by selecting the RC68 command and clicking on “TEST”.

9.Make any adjustments to the sequence as needed.

10.Once the project has been transferred to the MRC44, any time the MRC44 Controller ‘sees’ the ‘80’ command, this sequence will be initiated. By teaching the ‘80’ command to a hand held remote, it is now only necessary to send the one IR code and have the sequence generated by the MRC44.

PROGRAMMING INTERNAL AMPLIFIER COMMANDS

In the MRC44 System Window Menu, click on Palette, and select “MRC44 AMPLIFIER COMMAND GENERATOR” (F6), a special palette of MRC44 Internal Commands will appear, as shown in Figure 23.

Figure 23 – Internal Amplifier Command Window

This special Palette contains the commands used by the MRC44 Controller/Amplifier for default functions and set-up modes.

NOTE: THESE COMMANDS ARE ALREADY PROGRAMMED INTO THE MRC44 AT THE FACTORY. They are made available for use in special programming such as having a particular zone default to a particular source when that zone is turned ON. Though RC68+ commands can be used to control the MRC44 via remote control, RC68+ commands will not be recognized by the MRC44 Controller’s microprocessor if generated by a MRC44 Keypad. An RC68+ command generated by a keypad will pass directly through to the emitter outputs. To control the MRC44 from a keypad it is necessary to use these special internal amplifier commands.
