PROGRAMMING CONTROL OF SOURCES
The Source Keypad can be programmed to control any of the sources connected to an M4/M6
System by using either the Hard Keys or Virtual Buttons. Programming is consistent with standard
Proficient Editor procedures. Hard Key programming should be for the most commonly used
commands, Play, Skip, Channel Up/Down, etc. Virtual Buttons can be programmed for control of
any source function for which an IR or RS232 command is available in the Command Library. For
example, if programming control of a CD Changer, commands for anything from random play to
direct disc selection can be setup as a Virtual Button.
Since the process is essentially the same for all sources, a general example using a CD Changer
will be used. Use the following instructions for other sources, by programming appropriate
commands by source.
Note: When used with a M6, the Source Keypad shows its powerful simplicity. The Preset chan-
nel frequencies and control commands for the M6 Internal Tuners are automatically displayed
on the Source LCD. This is a default function of the M6 and the Source Keypad. No programming
is necessary for control of the M6 Internal Tuners when controlled with the Source Keypad.
PROGRAMMING HARD KEYS
1. If not already open, left click the
CMD Library Tab
. From the
Brands Pull-Down
either
left click the pull-down arrow and scroll the list for the CD Changer Brand being used
or left click the Brands Box and type in the name of the CD Changer Brand. Expand the
CD Tab
by left clicking the ‘+’ sign or double left clicking the CD Icon. In some cases, a
subdirectory of CD commands will appear. Some manufacturers have multiple code
groups for certain devices. A bit of trial and error may be necessary to determine which
code group is correct. Typically, testing commands such as power, play and stop will
indicate the proper code group. Sometimes a visual inspection of the list can be helpful
to see if certain special commands are available in one list or another. If any commands
are not available, they can be learned into Proficient Editor. If it is necessary to learn
commands, refer to the
“Learning IR Commands”
section of the
Proficient Editor
Advanced Programming Guide
.
2. Left click the
CD Source Icon
on the Virtual Keypad to select CD. It will highlight.
