Programming Overview

Recommended Process

It will be much easier to program the SaphIR K2 if you follow the steps in a particular order, especially if you’re programming it manually. Here’s the order we recommend for initial setup:

1.Component Control – First learn how the amp/receiver and source components work with their remote controls, especially how source inputs are numbered on the amp/ receiver. This is important for configuring the inputs for selection by the Source key. List the sources on the Source Information Form (page 55).

2.IR Device Codes – Look up the amp/receiver’s and source components’ device codes in the IR Device Codes list (pages 57–61). Record component information and settings on the Source Information Form (page 55).

3.Keypad ID (page 40) – If the system you’re installing has more than one SaphIR K2 keypad, assign a unique ID num- ber to each keypad. This procedure is necessary before you can copy the configuration from one keypad to the others. This doesn’t apply if you’re installing only one SaphIR K2.

4.Amp/Receiver Basic Setup (page 23) – Set up the amp/receiver first to lay the foundation for source setup. The amp/receiver selects sources and controls functions common to all sources, such as volume, tone, and surround mode. Also, it’s important to understand the order in which the amp/receiver selects source inputs when you assign source numbers to the sources.

5.Learn IR (page 25) – In most cases you will be able to find an IR device code for the amp/receiver. If not, you can use the Learn IR procedure to teach the keypad the com-

mands from the remote control. The commands are centrally stored in the keypad as a learned IR command type.

6.Number of Sources (page 27) – If the system has fewer than eight sources, specify the total number of sources to prevent unused source numbers from appearing in the key- pad display. Don’t forget to count the tuner in the receiver if it will be used as a source.

7.Source Basic Setup (page 28) – Follow the Source Basic Setup procedure for each source, including the receiver’s tuner if it is used, for the keypad to be able to control the sources. As with the amp/receiver, you may need to use the Learn IR procedure for some sources if their IR device codes aren’t in the built-in library.

8.Numeric IR (page 32) – The Numeric IR procedure lets you program numeric functions so the user can pick station, channel, or disk numbers from scroll lists on the keypad.

9.Power Management (page 35) – If you program the power management feature, the keypad can issue discrete commands and/or macros to control the power state of the amp/receiver and source components. When you turn on the keypad (or first keypad in a multiple-keypad system), the components turn on; when you issue an All Off command, they turn off.

10.Macro Editor (page 38) – The Macro Editor allows you to build command sequences that run with a single key touch. This is useful for issuing power commands to multiple com- ponents for power management. It’s also useful for control- ling other devices like home theater screens and projectors in conjunction with source equipment.
