Another device in the theater (a DVD player, for example) is responding to commands from the DHD Controller remote control (Figure 2-6)in ways that are unpredictable or undesirable.

You have multiple DHD Controllers and want to control them independently, as opposed to broadcasting commands from a single remote to all of them. In this scenario, you can use multiple remotes programmed to use different IR codes. Or, you can use a single remote and change the IR code as needed to address a specific device.

Use the DHD Controller front-panel keypad to change its IR code.

Tip Then, change the code sent by the remote to match as described below.
