LEARNING IR COMMANDS (XIR2)
An
IR Learning Eye
is located on the front panel of the
SPLCD
and is accessible when the
Bezel
is removed
(
Figures 2a, 2b Item 5
).
NOTE:
Commands learned through the SPLCD’s front panel learning eye (XIR2 method) are NOT
backwards compatible to
some
other Xantech devices (i.e. MRC44, URC-2 etc…). This means, palettes
created in Universal Dragon SPLCD cannot be copied to previous versions of Universal Dragon
software.
NOTE:
When learning IR commands through the front panel learning-eye, it is suggested that the
environment
be free of any IR interference. This could include fluorescent or halogen lighting, sunlight, plasma or LCD
displays and interference from a PC Monitor display.
Finding the Optimal Positioning of the Teaching Remote
An IR strength indicator LED is located on the front panel (
IR Learning Eye LED
,
Figures 2a, 2b - Item 6 Page
10
), to show the optimal position for the teaching remote. Before proceeding, position the
teaching
remote
approximately 1-2 inches from the
IR Learning Eye
, press any button on the remote and observe the
brightness of the
LED
. Move the
remote
slowly up and down
past the
IR Learning Eye
to find the position
where the
LED
is
brightest
. This will be the position to be used for recording
IR commands
.
