Using the Nº383 with

Learning Remote Controls

using the teach ir menu The teach ir menu within the setup menu lists all of the custom infrared commands available for the various functions of the Nº383 Integrated Amplifier.

In every case where a “toggle” command exists, both the normal toggle function and positive control commands for the multiple states are provided. Thus, the mute key functions as a toggle between mute and unmute; but we also provide go mute and go unmute, since these positive controls increase the reliability of macros in learning remote controls, such as Madrigal’s own IRIQ.

To access these commands,

1

press setup once to enter the setup menu

2

turn the select knob until “Teach IR” is displayed

3

35

press enter once to toggle into the edit mode (where you

 

 

can choose which “teach ir” command you want

4

move the volume knob to select the command you want to

 

 

learn

5

press enter to transmit that command from the left side of

 

 

the display window

 

 

The display window will change to <– –SENDINGto indicate

 

 

where the infrared codes are being emitted.

 

 

 

 

technical note:

The frequency of the infrared carrier upon which the

 

 

command are transmitted is 40kHz. This is the most

 

 

common carrier frequency of any used in remote

 

 

controls today, and should present no problem for any

 

 

learning remote control.

 

 

If your remote has difficulty learning the command

 

 

from the front panel of the Nº383 Integrated Amplifier,

 

 

try varying the distance, and shielding the remote

 

 

control from any fluorescent lights in the area (which

 

 

can interfere with the learning process).
