If Amp/Preamp is selected then the bank6 key is sacrificed and used to toggle the Keypad
Volume and Standby functions between the Amplifier and Preamplifier.
The six Source Select Key commands may be assigned to any of the eight 451/452AV source
inputs.
It is important to make assignment in the Axium Settings window so that the AX-KPB can
track the 451/452AV source selection. Ensure that a source is not assigned to several keys.
The IR receiver may be enabled / disabled and the Source and Volume LED indicator
brightness adjusted. If ‘Backlighting Continuous’ is selected then the backlighting will be
constantly illuminated, if de-selected then the backlighting is illuminated for 30 seconds after
a keypress.
Push the OK button to store the Axium settings to the keypad configuration and exit the
Axium Settings window.
Note
:
•
The configuration must be uploaded to the keypad before settings take effect.
•
The Axium Settings provide greater source select flexibility than manually programming
the keypad. A keypad programmed using AKM and then manually re-assigned is not
recommended – the source select IR commands and source/bank assignments may not
be in sync.
Available memory
Memory usage is shown at the bottom left of the main window. There is more than sufficient
memory – with commands on all keys in all banks only 51% of memory is used.
Adding a command to the user database
When adding a Learnt command to the user database, a
new make and model must first be created in the database
using the Add function in the Edit menu.
After downloading the AX-KPB’s configuration, drag and
drop the learnt command(s) from the Key to the new make/
model.
A new command is generated and should then be named –
using the Rename function in the Edit menu, or right click
the new command (labelled Unknown) and select Rename –
enter correct text. Rename the make and model in the same way.
When commands are added to the database they are compared with known IR command
formats.
If acceptable an OK is displayed next to the command. If a warning is given it would be
advisable to test the IR command or relearn the code. Commands are also compared in the
Model context and if a different formats are found amongst the commands this is reported
alongside the Model – “Formats differ”. This can be an indication that one or some of the
commands have not been learnt correctly.
An alternate command source may be from an external HEX code database or application.
These codes may be copied to the clipboard and pasted either directly to a key or onto the
model. Right click the model, select Hex code and then Paste. The command should then be
renamed.
