PROGRAMMING OVERVIEW

Method #3 – Controlling Shared Source Components with Niles R-8 Commands and without 12V Home Theater Status

A third method of programming is available in situations where the Home Theater does not provide a 12V DC status signal. With this method, you must teach some of the Niles R-8 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 3 through 8, and the OFF Button IR commands. Whenever the Master ZR-8630AV receives a source- button IR command from the Home Theater, it will turn on the source component, if needed. Also, it will know that the Home Theater Zone is turning on and what source component is selected. Whenever the Master ZR-8630AV 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, determine whether Method #1 or Method #2 is the most appro- priate way for your system to operate. With Method #3, program the Home Theater's learning remote with either the components' IR commands or with Niles Function Key/Button commands.

Important Note: When using Method #3, you must teach the Niles OFF IR command to the Home The- ater learning remote control and issue it every time you turn off the Home Theater. When the ZR-8630AV receives the OFF IR command, it “knows” that the Home Theater turned off. Then it checks to see if any of its other zones are active before it turns off the shared source components.
