Custom installation (C.I.) use
The 840W features a Control Bus input/output that allow
electrically by the unit and looped to another unit if desired. These control commands are typically
generated by custom installation
An IR Emitter Input is also provided that allows modulated IR remote control commands to be received electrically by the unit. Commands on this input operate the unit only and are not looped out demodulated on the Control Bus Output.
The unit responds to ‘direct’ IR/Control codes as well as toggle codes for some features to simplify programming custom installation systems. Special direct On/Off and Mute commands can be accessed from the 840E
1.Press and hold the Standby/On button. The remote first generates a standby (toggle) command. Keep the button held down, after 12 seconds an amplifier “On” command will be generated. If the button is kept held down for a further 12 seconds, an amplifier player “Off” command is generated.
2.Press and hold the Mute button. The remote first generates a mute (toggle) command. Keep the button held down, after 12 seconds a “Mute on” command will be generated. If the button is kept held down for a further 12 seconds, a “Mute off” command is generated.
These commands are recognised by the 840W via the IR Emitter input.
