IR PROGRAMMING

PROGRAMMING SOURCE DEVICE IR COMMAND CODES

TO LEARN SOURCE DEVICE COMMANDS

1.To enter the IR programming mode, all zones should be off. Press-and-hold the Program button on the installer confi guration panel for two seconds.

P	O	W	E	R	O	N

2.The display will show [PROGRAMMING MODE] and then change to [LEARN SOURCE 3 POWER ON]. “Source 3” in the display will be replaced by the previously selected source device name from the confi guration process. Source 2 will appear only if a name other than “N/A” or “iPod” was selected for the Source 2 device name. The “Enter IR” LED will illuminate.

3.With [LEARN SOURCE 3 POWER ON] shown in the display, press the source device factory remote’s Power On button (or Power toggle if there are no discrete power commands) while pointing the remote at the IR receiver on the installer confi guration panel. The “Enter IR” LED will turn off.

TECH TIP

When learning IR commands from some third-party device remotes, the distance from the IR receiver

in the ZR-6 can be critical to learning commands properly. This range can vary from two inches to as

much as eighteen inches. Varying the distance can have a signifi cant impact on the quality of the learned IR commands. It is very important to test each code as it is learned to ensure proper operation.

NOTE: IF ANY RECEIVED IR COMMAND CANNOT BE CORRECTLY PROCESSED, OR IS CORRUPT FOR ANY REASON, [IR INVALID] WILL APPEAR ON THE DISPLAY.

4.Press the Test IR button to verify that the source device power on command was properly learned. The IR command will be emitted from the respective IR output on the back of the ZR-6 MultiZone Receiver. Source 3 commands are emitted from MicroFlasher output 3, source 4 commands from MicroFlasher output 4, and so on. If the source device does not respond correctly, press the Next button then the Previous button to display [LEARN SOURCE 3 POWER ON] and to illuminate the “Enter IR” LED. (The ZR-6 can only learn command codes when “Enter IR” LED is illuminated).

5.Press the Next button to proceed to the next command: [LEARN SOURCE 3 POWER OFF]. Follow steps 3 and 4, substituting Power Off for Power On.

6.Press the Next button to proceed to the next command. The commands will appear in the order listed on page 41. If a particular command is not necessary, skip to the next appropriate command by pressing Next button (or the Previous button to go back to a command). The + and - buttons can also be used.

7.Continue until all commands for this source device have been learned.

8.Press the Program button to proceed to the next source device memory page.

9.Follow the same procedure until all of the command codes for all source devices have been entered.

10.After learning the command codes for source device 6, press the Program button to advance to learning codes for Library 1.

STORING IR COMMANDS IN LIBRARY 1

Libraries are typically used to store the IR command codes from non-source devices such as draperies, television lifts, or other codes that the installer prefers to be easily accessible. The procedure for storing IR command codes in Library 1 is the same as storing IR command codes in the source device memory pages, with one difference: the command codes for Power On and Power Off are eliminated. The fi rst command code to be learned will

be Play.

STORING IR COMMANDS IN VS-6/LIBRARY 2

The VS-6/Library 2 includes all of the command codes necessary to control a Niles VS-6 Component High Defi nition Video Switcher when installed with a ZR-6. See the Appendix for the complete list of VS-6 command codes and the respective Niles R-8L remote control keys used to recall these codes when building sequences. If a Niles VS-6 is not being installed with the ZR-6, new command codes can be learned over the stored VS-6 command codes. Restoring the ZR-6 to factory default condition restores all of the VS-6 codes.
