12 RS-232 Control Port
This port has two purposes:
• downloading new operating software into your surround processor (should
new features ever be added).
• external control of your surround processor by systems such as i-Command
™
,
AMX
®
and Crestron
™.
For more information, please contact your dealer and ask about home automation
systems.
13 IR Input: Main and Zone
Your Classé surround processor includes two 1/8th-inch mono mini-jacks to
support the infrared (IR) remote controls that are ubiquitous today. Infrared
commands exist (for example) for
toggling the surround processor between operate
and standby , in addition to discrete command codes for either operate or standby .
These codes may be used in “macros” for sophisticated remote control systems,
facilitating the control of the surround processor in the larger context of a
complete system.
The SSP-600 has two separate IR inputs, one for the MAIN system and one that
addresses only the functions of the remote ZONE . IR commands routed to either
input will be interpreted as intended to affect only that section of the SSP-600.
For example, if you send a command to change the input to the DVD player,
routing it to the
ZONE IR IN , only the remote ZONE will change to the DVD
input. The MAIN system will be unaffected.
The list of commands available is quite extensive, enabling even complex macros
(chains of commands strung together) to operate flawlessly. If this capability is of
interest to you, we strongly recommend discussing it with your authorized Classé
dealer.
The surround processor is designed to respond to IR commands of 5 Vdc, with
the tip of the mini-plugs defined to be positive relative to the shank of the plug.
Note: The Classe Delta series IR inputs respond to an “idle-high, active-low”
signal. Please ensure that any third party IR control systems are configured
accordingly.
