2.From the MRC44 System Window, select the Zone to be programmed. (e.g. Zone 1)

3.Click the button to be programmed. (e.g. “Power”)

4.Select the command to be used (e.g. “Zone Source Select Command) from the pull-down list in the Amplifier Internal Command Setup window.

5.Two Parameter boxes will appear as shown in Figure 23, to set the action of the command. (e.g. Zone 1 and Source 1).

6.A table of MRC44 Controller/Amplifier commands is shown in Table 2 below with the associated controls.

7.Click “ACCEPT” when the Internal Amplifier Command is set to the desired state.

8.The command will automatically be placed in the command list of the Zone/Button selected. (In this example when the Zone 1 “POWER” button is pressed, and the zone is OFF, the zone will turn ON, Source 1 will automatically be selected and by adding a “PLAY” command for a CD player to the sequence, Zone 1 will always default to CD when turned ON. Pressing the “POWER” button again will turn the zone “OFF”.

9.Repeat for all zones and commands as required.

(EXPANDED)

In the Expanded mode, Internal Amplifier Commands can only be programmed to ‘talk’ to the zones within either the Primary or Secondary Controllers. Internal Amplifier Commands are not communicated from one controller to the other. The one exception is the “Turn Off All Zones Command” which will turn all zones OFF.
