B100 TWO CHANNEL POWER AMPLIFIER

batteries are correctly oriented and properly seated in the battery holder.

The B100 remote is a full function remote. It allows selection of all sources, volume up or down (the volume control is a motor-driven design), mute ,left/right balance, power on/off and discrete code entry.

We recommend maintaining a direct line-of-sight between the hand held remote unit and the front of the B100 to ensure the most efficient operation of the remote features.

PROGRAMMING the HANDHELD REMOTE CONTROL:

The automatic motion-sensing backlight function in the handheld infra-red remote control unit can be disabled by entering the 3 digit code “792” as follows:

1)Press and hold the CODE button for 5 seconds. Release when the LED flashes red.

2)After the LED stops flashing, enter the 3 digit code “792” by pressing the buttons D1, D3 then AUX/PH (see illustra- tion on page 3)

3)To re-enable the motion-sensing backlight function, repeat steps 1 and 2 above

To completely disable the backlight, enter the 3 digit code “797” as follows:

1)Press and hold the CODE button for 5 seconds. Release when the LED flashes red.

2)After the LED stops flashing, enter the 3 digit code “797” by pressing the buttons D1, D3 then D1 (see illustration on page 3)

3)To re-enable the backlight repeat steps 1 and 2 above

SENDING CODES to the B100 via the IR HANDHELD REMOTE CONTROL:

Press the CODE button on the remote control (the red LED will light) and then enter the 3 digt code, as listed in the “Wired RS232 Remote Control” section” below . The LED will flash to confirm transmission and then extinguish.

WIRED RS232 REMOTE CONTROL:

Using the DB9-female connector at the rear of the unit, the B100 can receive commands via a null modem cable at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit (9600,8,N,1). Valid commands will return the “>” character indicating that the unit is ready to receive a new command. An invalid command will return the “!” character. These serial data

commands are as follows:

000

- power off

015

- power on/off toggle

081

001

007

- volume up

062

- record monitor on

255

- System reset; restore defaults

008

- volume down

063

- record monitor off

 

 

PASS THROUGH MODE:

PASS THROUGH mode sets the pre-amp gain to 1 (unity gain) and locks out the volume & balance controls for any single analog audio source. For example, if the Front Left and Front Right outputs of a home theater surround sound processer were connected to the TV input of the B100, and then PASS THROUGH was engaged then whevever TV input is selected the volume and balance controls would be locked at unity gain. If other inputs were subsequently selected, volume and balance controls return to normal operation for those other input sources. Only the TV inputs would be locked at unity gain. PASS THROUGH mode, therefore, can only be assigned to one input at a time, but that input can be any one of the analog audio inputs. The power amplifier stage is not affected by PASS THROUGH mode. PASS THROUGH mode can only be set (or reset) by sending the 3 digit code “245” to the B100 either from the handheld IR remote control or via the RS232 serial data input.
