Selecting a Code-Set from the Database continued…
3. Click on the
Test
button.
4. Observe the component. If it stays on, click on another Model and continue until you
find the Code set that turns the component off. When it turns off, click on
Save
.
5. After you find the correct Code Set, click on SAVE. When you do, the LCD Button
Editor Window pops open. You can correct any labels that you think could be more user
friendly. Feel free to rearrange buttons as you wish. Moving LCD buttons with the LCD
button Editor is exactly like moving Devices. Simply click and drag to an empty location.
Once you are reasonably satisfied with the arrangement, click on the
Apply
button.
Continue with the rest of the devices you need to program, using the Next Device
button to move to the next device, or revert to the previous device by using the Prev
Device button (or manually picking them from the Device list box). When you have
finished all of your devices, click on the
Close
button.
Hidden Codes in Keypad Database
The database used in CK 2.2 Editor is the same as the one for the Universal MX900
remote control. However, the CK 2.2 keypad has many fewer buttons because of the
space allowed in a double-gang enclosure.
Thus, for any device programmed from the database from the CABLE or SAT
categories, you will see the Number commands on the hidden buttons. Simply, program
the desired soft buttons on the keypad with the number selection commands. You may
drag these commands from the B&K Drop and Drag IR Database, if desired.
Testing
In most home theater systems, you will find that some codes have to be learned. You
may have a brand new component whose codes are not yet in the B&K Database or you
may have most of the codes for a component, but a few are missing. To find out what
you’ll need to learn, you must rigorously test all of the codes you have programmed
using the IR Database and correctly label the buttons that have to be learned. Of course
you can simply test a button and if it doesn’t work, go into learn mode, test the
command, relearn as necessary and so on. However, this wastes time. The best
approach is to download, test all the commands, make a list, then use CK 2.2 Editor to
modify labels, and delete unnecessary codes.
