desired), or under RC68 Trigger Sequences to control zones via a hand held remote while sitting in another zone (i.e. lower the volume in the Kids zone while sitting in the Master Bedroom). A list of the available commands appears in Table 2 on the next page.

NOTE: THESE COMMANDS ARE ALREADY PROGRAMMED INTO THE MRC88m AT THE FACTORY. They are made available for use in special programming such as having a particular zone default to a particular source when that zone is turned ON. Though RC68+ commands can be used to control the MRC88m via remote control, RC68+ commands will not be recognized by the MRC88m Controller’s microprocessor if generated by a MRC88m Keypad. An RC68+ command generated by a keypad will pass directly through to the emitter outputs. To control the MRC88m from a keypad, it is necessary to use these special internal amplifier commands.
