Programming The MIO R-1 AUDIO Using KeypadBuilder

The MIO R-1 AUDIO comes pre-customized with appropriate labels, which in most cases should not be changed. However, if in your installation you intend to use the MIO R-1 AUDIO with a NetLinx Controller and Metreau AxLink keypads (for more than just Audio), you could customize your buttons in the KeypadBuilder application. The application and documentation are available from www.amx.com.

There are a select number of Serial Commands the MIO R-1 AUDIO recognizes. For a full list and descriptions, consult the MIO R-1 AUDIO Operation/Reference Guide.

The Programming Jack is used for communication between the device and KeypadBuilder. The programming jack uses a three-wire, 2.5 mm stereo jack, you can order the programming cable (FG10-817) from AMX if you do not currently possess one. While loading your configuration file make sure the device is situated as such that the batteries will not fall out. The load will fail if your batteries fall out during the process. The MIO communicates at 115200 baud rate.

Refer to the MIO R-1 AUDIO Operation/Reference Guide for instructions on using the Programming Jack to load configuration files on the MIO R-1 AUDIO.

Tone Control & SRS Setting

To access the Tone Control and SRS settings, press the TONE button. This enables the Tone Control Mode with BASS as the first mode selected. There are 3 Tone Control Modes available for adjustment, and 4 SRS options, as follows:

•BASS: Increase / Decrease from -10dB to +10dB (Up/Down NAV buttons)

•Treble: Increase / Decrease from -10dB to +10dB (Up/Down NAV buttons)

•Balance: Left / Right (Up NAV button = right, Down NAV button = left)

•SRS options: BASS Boost, Focus, 3D, WOW

The Source buttons on the Metreau keypad provides visual feedback as to which mode it is currently in. The following sources will light based on the current mode:

•Source 1 = BASS

•Source 2 = Treble

•Source 3 = Balance

•Source 4 = SRS

When first entering Tone Control Mode, BASS mode is active (Source 1 LED is lit). To move from mode to mode, select the Center NAV button. This saves the setting and moves to the next mode.
