System ON
- The Forté A-BUS system will activate if any function button is
pressed.
Input Selection [1]
- The system will restart on the last source selected. One
of the four input LEDs [5] will indicate which input has been selected. The
input can be changed by pressing left or right buttons [1].
Volume Level [2]
- If the system is muted the VCM will restart at low volume
level. If the system has remained active the VCM
will return to the previously selected volume level.
The level may be adjusted by pressing the Up/Down
buttons [2]. While the level is being adjusted, the input
LEDs [5] will ripple left or right.
Remote Control [4]
- The VCM may be operated
by remote control. The IR remote must have clear
line-of-site to the IR Receiver. The VCM can also
relay IR remote control commands to the hub and
connected source components. It will repeat standard
38 kHz commands and 56 kHz commands which are
often used in satellite receivers. You may experience
difficulty with some remote control commands on
some components. The operating range can be
affected by sunlight and some lighting systems.
Mute and Global Mute [3]
- A VCM can be muted
individually by pressing the mute button, this will turn
off the backlighting to the volume control [2] and input
selection buttons [1]. The backlighting of the mute [3]
and input indicator will [5] remain on. If there are other
VCM’s connected to the same zone their status will
not be affected. If the mute button [3] is pressed for more than three seconds
the whole Forté A-BUS system will turn mute. When the system is muted the
infrared relay will remain active.
Backlight adjustment [6]
- The backlighting level of the function buttons [1]
[2] [3] can be adjusted to individual requirements.

This Keypad Volume Control Module (VCM) has been
designed to work with Forté A-BUS Multi-Source Hubs using
standard A-BUS commands. It will operate with other single-
source and multi-source hubs; however, some functionality
such as source selection will not be required.
These functions can be accessed with an A-BUS remote control handset
containing the correct codes.
Note:
For comprehensive instructions please also refer to the instructions
supplied with your Forté A-BUS multi-source hub.
