Once Again: Remember the Exception
Since the IntelliControl will be programmed to turn on the TV Monitor whenever a video Master Key is pressed, there are a special set of sync connectors dedicated to the TV and are unrelated to any of the other Master Keys. Likewise, the Preamp/Receiver has its own Preamp sync and flasher connections unrelated to any of the other Master Keys.
If the television’s
Because of this, you may assign the labels “TV” and “AM/FM” to any of the ten Master Keys (including Master Keys 9 and 10), since sync for those sources is not necessary.
2C. Component Compatibility
Infrared Compatibility
All audio/video components in the system must be
Niles has compiled an extensive IR Library of over 175 different products from most of the major manufacturers (including many direct access and separate “On/Off” codes). Earlier versions of the IntelliFile II
Before an IntelliControl installation is proposed to a customer, it is strongly recommended that you check the equipment list for compatibility. As a general rule, if the component’s codes are capable of being taught to a standard “learning” remote control (Pronto, RC2000, SL9000, etc.), the IntelliFile II will be able to learn them.
Note: If a product’s codes do not work reliably when taught to a learning remote, “A/B” codes could be the cause. A small percentage of video projectors and other components feature Philips
To be brief, these products have two different codes for each button on the remote, the “A” version and the “B” version. The product must receive alternating (A/B/A/B, etc.) versions of its codes or it will not respond. It doesn’t matter what code is issued (or in what order), because the remote and the product will keep track (technically there’s more to the story, but this is the basic principle). Since the IntelliFile II (and the IntelliControl MSU) can only store one version of each code in memory, only the “A” or the “B” version can be learned and stored in memory, which creates a problem.
