look to that memory address location on the “Default” page of memory to see if a
“Function Key IR” command (or a “Function Key Sequence”) is stored there. If there is
information programmed to that particular address on the “Default” page, the IntelliControl
will issue whatever code (or sequence of codes) is stored there.
Therefore, the “Default” page is the memory location for IR commands that are universal
to all of the components in the Home Theater system. An example of this would be the
Preamp/receiver’s “Volume Up and Down”, and “Mute” commands. You simply do not
program any IR commands to the “Volume Up/Down” and “Mute” Keys on the ten source
pages, and let the IntelliControl issue the commands stored to those locations on the
“Default” page.
If the user constantly adjusts picture or surround-sound, you could choose to assign the
“Menu” group of keys as a universal feature, so that no matter what Master Key is
currently selected, the “Menu” keys will access the customer’s desired functions.
Purpose of the Library Pages
There are two additional pages of memory addresses called “Library 1” and “Library 2”.
The “Library” pages are only used to store codes, which will be included in sequences.
Codes taught to the Library pages are not directly accessible by the end-user (unless they
are included in a sequence, of course!).
3B. Master Key Automation: Part 1 - One Touch System Turn On
By pressing a Master Key, the end user will trigger the following programmed “Events” to
occur. These events are displayed in the “Master Key Navigator” feature of the IntelliFile II
software. The “System Turn On” automation will power up and configure the home theater
system based on the actual status of the components at the time the Master key was
pressed.
Note: “System Turn On” automation is an automatic function of the IntelliControl System.
DO NOT attempt to manually program the “System Turn On” automation by including the
TV, Preamp, and Component power commands in the “Initial Sequences” for the Master
Keys. This will bypass all the sync features and the built-in intelligence which has made
the IntelliControl such a successful product.
The “TV Power”, “Preamp Power”, and “Component Power” commands are entered on
their respective “Tabs” in the IntelliFile II software. The appropriate “Power” commands are
automatically issued based on the “Audio Scene”, “Video Scene”, and “Component
Power” programming which is configured on the “Components” Tab in IntelliFile II. For
more Information, see
Scene Setting
on page 25 of the IntelliFile II Reference Manual.
