Niles Audio ZR-4630s manual Programming Overview

PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW

Method #3 – Controlling Shared Source Components with Niles R-4 Commands and without 12V Home Theater Status

A third method of programming is available in situations where a 12V DC status signal is not available from the Home Theater. With this method, you must teach some of the Niles R-4 Remote Control IR commands to the Home Theater learning remote.

The minimum requirement is to program the learning remote with Niles commands from Source Buttons 2, 3, or 4, and the OFF Button IR commands. Whenever the Master ZR-4630 receives a source-button IR command from the Home Theater, it will turn on the source com- ponent, if needed, and it will also know that the Home Theater Zone is turning on and what source component is selected. Whenever the Master ZR-4630 receives an OFF Button IR command from the Home Theater, it will know that the Home Theater is turning OFF.

To operate the Shared Source Components follow the criteria specified in Method #1 and Method #2, to select the most appropriate way to operate for your system. You can program the Home Theater's learning remote with either the components' IR commands or with Niles function button commands when using this method.

Important Note: You must teach the Niles OFF IR command to the Home Theater learning remote con- trol and issue it every time you turn the Home Theater off when using Method #3. When the OFF IR com- mand is received by the ZR-4630 Receiver, it “knows” that the Home Theater turned off. It will then check for any active zones on the ZR-4630 before it turns off the shared source components.
