Control Options - Introduction
The following points detail the basic functions associated with the buttons on a Genesis
System's keypad.
1
3 Source Selection Buttons - Pressing the source button the first time, turns on a room
and selects that source. Sources with "timer-play" functions such as CD and cassette
players, will automatically engage into play with the simple selection of that source. For
sources lacking the "timer-play" function, the Genesis can be programmed to transmit
an IR code for each of the three sources when that source is first selected. Thus, for any
type of source that requires a play function (i.e. CD, Cassette, DAT, etc.), when that
source is selected, it will also automatically engage into play.
Note: As with all the keypads, with the exception of the MC-100 OD All Weather Outdoor
Keypad, the buttons are completely in-the-field interchangeable. While the standard
source button format for the Genesis System is FM, CD, & CASS, Audio Design
Associates has an entire library of source buttons.
2
Source In Play Indicator - Since the entire home will play only one of the three sources
at any one time, if a room is off and the system is already in use elsewhere, it is important
to know what source is already in use by someone else prior to turning on a room. The
Genesis System controls will indicate what source is already in use by having that source
button's LED on prior to the room being turned on. Thus, when entering a room which
is off and seeing the CD button's LED on, you will automatically know that the CD player
is in use elsewhere in the home. To listen to the CD player, simply press the CD button.
To listen to a different source, press the alternate source button. Please note, this will
change the source playing to other rooms.
3
Room On Indicator - When the Genesis System is completely off, no LEDs will be "on"
on any of the system's keypads. When a room is on, not only with the selected source
button's LED be on, but the ROOM OFF button's LED will also be on, indicating that the
room is on.
4
ROOM OFF Button - The first time the ROOM OFF button is pressed (actually tapped),
the room will turn off. If this was the only room on, both the ROOM OFF button and the
SOURCE button LEDs will turn off. If a room is still on elsewhere in the home, only the
ROOM OFF button's LED would turn off. The fact that the SOURCE button's LED where
still on would indicate that the system was still on in another room.
5
All Off Control - If the room you are in is already off and the system was left on in another
room (a SOURCE button LED is still lit), pressing and holding any keypad's ROOM OFF
button will turn off the entire system. At this time, none of the keypad buttons LED
indicators should be on.
6
IR Transport Control - The Genesis can provide an IR "Play" code when a source is first
selected. This is called the "Power On Code". There are also two additional IR functions
per source ("1st IR code" and "2nd IR code") that can be accessed from any style
Genesis keypad. To activate the "1st" IR function, tap the keypad's source button. To
activate the "2nd" IR function, press and hold the source button.
