3.

A high current power supply, the 782-00 (1A @ 12

 

VDC), provides the additional current needed for

 

the keypads.

4.

A 786-00 power supply, plugged into a switched

 

AC outlet on the A/V receiver, is used as a source

 

of system power ON/OFF STATUS voltage (12

 

VDC) for the Smart Pad2s and the 780-80 IR

 

Receiver.

5.

A resistor (1k to 10k Ohm) may be added in series

 

with the STATUS line, if desired, to adjust the

 

brightness of the STATUS LED in the 780-80 IR

 

Receiver. Refer to "REMOTE ROOM 3", Fig. 5.

As with the previous example, an RC68 is used to

 

teach learning remotes (used with the IR receiv-

 

ers) the commands for each of the DC4 players.

7.

An RC68 and the Xantech Dragon DropIR™

 

software are used to program the Smart Pad2

 

keypads with the DC4 player commands and the

 

A/V system commands.

Fig. 6 illustrates how the IR-DC4 is connected to provide IR control of a Digilink 4 via a PC running the Arrakis Music-Link Software (Win 95/98). The follow- ing should be considered when working with this con- figuration:
