OPERATIONAL OVERVIEW

Master Key/Source Button Events

When you press a Master Key on a Master Keypad Module or a Source Button on the hand-heldR-8 Remote, as many as four events occur.

The first two events are factory-programmed: Event 1 activates the zone in which you are located. Event 2 selects the proper source input corresponding to the Master Key or Source Button you press (1 = Tuner 1, 2 = Tuner 2, 3 = Input 3, 4 = Input 4, etc.).

Two installer-programmable events are available for Master Keys and Source Buttons 3 through 8: Event 3 is the Source ON Event, and Event 4 is the Sequence Event.

Because no power command is required for the internal tuners of the ZR-8630AV, Master Keys 1 and 2 and the Tuner Source Buttons are programmable only with the Sequence Event.

Event 1

Pressing a Master Key or a Source Button turns a ZONE ON. Pressing and holding a Master Key/Source Button turns all zones on to that source. (The zone must be enabled with a DIP switch. See Installation Settings for more details.) When a zone is on, the selected Master Key illuminates green.

Event 2

Pressing or pressing and holding a Master Key/Source Button selects the proper input programmed for that Master Key/Source Button. The internal tuner 1 is the source for Master Key 1 on the Master Keypad Modules and the Tuner 1 Source Button on the R-8 Remote. The internal tuner 2 is the source for Master Key 2 on the Master Keypad Modules and the Tuner 2 Source Button on the R-8 Remote. Master Keys/Source Buttons 3 through 8 are for the corresponding external audio inputs.

Event 3

Pressing a Master Key/Source Button turns ON IR- activated source components (i.e., DSS, VCR). The Source ON event occurs only for Master Keys/Source Buttons 3 through 8. Power commands for each Master Key/Source

Button are programmed individually and occur condition- ally, synchronized by the corresponding sync inputs.

Event 4

This event is executed last. The sequence typically includes play, group, file, or channel commands for an associated source component. You can program the sequence for Master Keys/Source Buttons 3 through 8 with the IR com- mands taught to their respective function keys, and with pro- grammed time delays. You can program the sequences for the Tuner Source Keys with the tuners’ direct access or pre- set access commands. (Source-in-Use Indication affects this event. See page 45.)
