When the Theater button is pressed, the iremoteTS becomes a
wireless controller for a home theater system. The user is presented
with up to 12 master keys (sources or activities) configured to
operate and automate the system. The iremoteTS can control a
home theater system in two different ways:
1) Line-of-sight infrared (Ir) emitted from the front of the
iremoteTS
2) radio Frequency (rF) when integrated with the Niles
hT-mSU
When integrated with the Niles hT-mSU (FG01343), the
iremoteTS becomes a powerful control interface for automating
home theater sources and devices. The iremoteTS/hT-mSU
combination controls home theater sources and devices via Ir,
rS-232, 12-volt trigger, and contact closure. The iremoteTS/hT-
mSU combination also makes it possible to share the sources with
the IntelliControl ICS modular multiZone receiver.
Controlling Home Theater with IR
For Ir control of a home theater system, the installer must make
sure that the iremoteTS can “see” the front of the sources in
the home theater system—infrared is a line-of-sight operation.
Sources that have separate on and off power commands, as
well as direct access commands for input selection or surround
modes, are highly desired when controlling a theater system via
Ir. The iremoteTS has up to 12 master Keys for home theater
turn-on and set-up. however, Ir has no feedback capability to
tell the remote which devices are already on. As long as the
iremoteTS is used to turn on and off the system, it will keep track
of issuing power commands for the sources in the home theater.
IntelliFile 3 Configuration Software is used to program the
iremoteTS for Ir operation.
