(BASIC)

In basic mode, the code group can only be set for the entire system. To change the Code Group, click on the drop-down menu in the “SYSTEM CODE GROUP” box and select one of the displayed Code Group choices.

(ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

Each zone of the MRC88 can be set to it’s own individual Code Group. This may be useful when the system requirements so dictate. (i.e. The system requirement calls for having zone-specific remote controls). Since other Xantech IR controlled models are assigned and preset at the factory to different Code Groups, special care should be taken when changing code groups to avoid accidentally changing another products code group number or having the wrong product respond to an IR code intended for a different model.

PRE AMP VOLUME ADJUST SETTINGS (ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

This feature allows the PreAmp output for the associated zone to be Variable and follow the Volume setting for the entire Zone (track 1:1 with default MRC88 Volume controls on Keypad or RC68 commands via remote) or to be a Fixed output level to be controlled outside of the system. This may be desirable for individual Sub-Zone control. Default for this setting is VARIABLE.

IR LOOP BACK SETTINGS (ADVANCED/EXPANDED)

This feature enables/disables the In-Zone Emitter output located on the rear of each zones Keypad. When enabled, IR codes received via the Keypads IR Sensor and IR generated from any Keypad routed to the Zone, will be sent to this output. This feature can be used to control local (in zone) A/V components such as TV, DVD player, or in-room lighting/thermostat control located in the same location as the keypad. Default for this setting is DISABLE.

NOTE: For any IR commands generated from a Keypad intended to be Looped Back to the Zone or to be output the Zone IR, you must first select the zone to be looped back to by right-clicking on the command in the Macro Command List and selecting the appropriate zone under Ir In Zone. Usually you will want this set to CURRENT ZONE. See Figure-32below.
