show AV32R status relay standby commands

The DVD32FLR features the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This allows TAG McLaren Audio products to exchange information and work seamlessly together to form an effective, fully integrated system. The DVD32FLR(1) offers at present four configurable features:

•relay remote commands

•synchronise display brightness

•show AV32R status

•send standby commands to products connected to the Bus

relay remote commands

Your DVD32FLR has the capability to relay remote control commands received by its IR receiver onto the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This is ideal when some of your equipment is in a location that does not permit direct line of sight from the Remote and also opens up the possibility of multi-room control.

synchronised display brightness

Rather than having to individually control the display brightness of each piece of your TAG McLaren Audio system, it is possible to synchronise their brightness to match the display on your DVD32FLR. This not only gives single point control of display brightness, but also allows display appearance to be consistent across all products.

If your video device is directly connected to your DVD32FLR (or routed through the AV32R without using the output + on-screen display) the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus can be used to convey on-screen information from the AV32R to the DVD32FLR. When this feature is enabled(1), on-screen information from the AV32R is overlaid onto the video signal in the DVD32FLR. The AV32R transmits status messages (press ok with the AV remote control), volume and surround information.

It does not send the setup screens of the AV32R.

The DVD32FLR can be configured to relay standby commands onto the TAGtronic Bus. This provides a means of putting all products into standby using a single press of standby. Similarly, all products can be brought out of standby using the same key. If the DVD32FLR is configured for auto- standby(2), then this too will cause a standby command to be relayed on to the bus.
