Programming the IR Input

Important:

5PRESS “ENTER” TO SAVE YOUR CHANGES; REPEAT FOR ALL OTHER SURROUND MODES AS NEEDED

Note that if you change only a single surround mode, the others will re- mains at their factory default settings of no offset and sub = none. This will cause even offsets entered at the front panel to be reset to all zeros when surround modes other than the one you changed are selected. (All the more reason to live with the system for a while before electing to customize it in this way. You should know your preferences with a fair degree of cer- tainty before automating them to this degree.)

The infrared remote input jack on the rear panel of the PAV may be programmed to respond to either local commands (e.g., duplicating the functionality of the IR receiver in the main display) or remote commands (e.g., from an IR repeater, to affect only the remote signal path). Refer to p. 19, Remote IR and Remote Turn-on, for more information.

The factory default setting is remote. If your installation of the PAV prevents IR commands from reaching the PAV (as when behind closed doors, for example), and if you are using an IR repeater to pass IR commands to the PAV, you may wish to set the IR input on the rear panel to local, in which case you would also want to “hard-wire” the PAV to your IR repeater (see IR Tip Polarity, page 19). To make this software change, follow these steps:

1ENTER THE REMOTE CONTROL MENU

This menu is accessed from the setup menu by moving the cursor to remote control (using the master button), and pressing the volume +/– key to select the menu item.

2SELECT REAR IR JACK

Using the master button, move the cursor to rear IR jack and press volume +/–.

3TOGGLE THE MENU ITEM FROM REMOTE TO LOCAL

Press either of the volume +/– keys to change the default setting of remote to local.

Note that this change will not take effect until you back out of the on screen menus and return to normal operation. This delayed response allows you to continue to use the IR receiver on the main display long enough to finish what you are doing. It will be turned off in favor of the IR input jack once you leave the menu system.

Once the rear IR jack is changed to local, the IR receiver in the main display is deactivated in favor of the rear IR jack. If you do this unintentionally and are not set up to “hard-wire” the commands into the rear IR jack, don’t worry. You can always use the front panel buttons to operate the on screen menu system, turn- ing the rear IR jack setting back to remote. Doing so reactivates the IR receiver in
