3.3 IR remote learning feature
In an effort to keep the platform compatible with the most common IR standards, an IR learning feature is implemented. This feature is
compatible with the NEC/Philips RC6 and Sony IR remote standards. Learning an IR commands goes as follow:
1) Connect & synchronize the board to the newly downloaded plug-in
2) Under the new “IR Remote Plug-in”, click on the “IR Learning menu” to reach the following dialog box.
3) Up to twelve commands are
available for control from a remote. They
include:
 Master mute
 Volume Up: 1dB increments with ramping down when holding button
 Volume Down: 1dB decrements with ramping down when holding button
 Digital source selection: Not active for the OpenDRC-AN
 Config 1/2/3/4: Used to select one of the config built under the software. Make sure you’ve previously pre-configured
these first!
 FIR bypass to toggle ON/OFF your entire FIR filter configuration for both channels.
To program a command, 2 simple steps:
 While connected and synchronized: Press the “LEARN button”

Point the remote to the IR receiver and press the button to learn the command. A dialog box will confirm a successful
learning and a green arrow appears once the command learned.
In case the platform fails to learn the remote command, you most likely do not have a Philips RC6/Sony/Nec compatible remote.
Please try another remote.
Feature such as Config 1-4 selection can ONLY work when the unit is not connected/synchronized to the plug-in.

3.5 Firmware upgrade
The OpenDRC firmware upgrade is unfortunately only available from Windows PC machine for the time being. The following steps are
required to perform a firmware upgrade of a unit.
Getting ready before an updgrade:
a) Make sure you read carefully the following steps
b) Make a backup of your configuration files. All Configuration/Preset files are stored as 4 .xml files in your local PC under
\My Documents\MiniDSP\OpenDRC-2x2\setting. Make a copy somewhere else on your PC (e.g. Desktop)
c) If any questions/issues, please get in touch with us.
CASE 1: Upgrade firmware required with new plug-in
Step 1 : Disconnect all Audio inputs/outputs. This step is important since the OpenDRC may go into an unknown state while the
CPU/DSP are being upgraded. We also recommend that you save your existing configuration.
