1.  CONFIGURING THE IR REMOTE CONTROL

Following the instructions for your model of universal remote, add the codes 

for the C-1071A or BlueBeam to the remote from your remote manufacturer’s 

database. If the above is not possible, use the PS2 codes (custom macro 

commands will be deleted) or download the codes in raw hex or .ccf format 

from www.audioauthority.com/page/software.

2.  PAIRING THE BLUEBEAM WITH THE PS3

•  Turn off the BlueBeam by removing the batteries and disconnecting the 

power supply and/or USB cable. 

•  Turn PS3 on and use the PS3 controller to select the following option: 

SETTINGS > ACCESSORY SETTINGS > REGISTER BD REMOTE.

•  Set the BlueBeam within 30 feet of the PS3 and power on the BlueBeam 

(insert batteries, connect power supply, or USB connection to power).

The BlueBeam automatically pairs with the PS3 at this point. Manual pairing 

instructions are in the complete BlueBeam manual download (see above).

3.  CHOOSING THE BEST POWER SOURCE 

The BlueBeam can simply be powered from the PlayStation 3 USB port, 

but the PS3 does not supply power to its USB port when it is powered off. 

Therefore you will not be able to turn on the PS3 from your IR remote control 

if it does not have an additional power source. If you do not wish to use an 

external AC adapter, use two AA batteries to power the BlueBeam when the 

PS3 is off. The BlueBeam will automatically draw power from the USB port 

when the PS3 is on, PS3 is controlled normally, and an external AC adapter 

is not needed. Battery life will be increased since power is supplied by the 

USB port when the PS3 is on. Using “IR Repeater Mode” or using an external 

IR receiver both require the BlueBeam to be connected to USB power or an 

external power supply. An AC adapter (Model 571-013) can be ordered from 

Audio Authority®.

4.  INSTALLING OR CHANGING BATTERIES

To change or remove the batteries, remove the two o-rings, lift the top cover 

and lift the batteries from the battery-holder. Replace them with two AA 

alkaline batteries, or use USB or AC power as described above.

5.  USING AN EXTERNAL INFRARED RECEIVER

Connect the emitter output of 

any standard IR receiver

 connecting block to 

the IR input on the rear of the BlueBeam using a mono 3.5mm cable. By 

default the BlueBeam is configured to auto-sense the type of IR receiver 

connected. Use configuration software to manually select IR receiver type.

6.  USING THE BLUEBEAM IN IR REPEATER MODE

In Repeater Mode, the BlueBeam repeats IR commands with IR carrier 

frequencies between 36 and 40 kHz. In this mode, the BlueBeam must be 

powered by USB or AC adapter, not batteries alone. Using the configuration 

software, set the IR receiver type to repeater mode. Connect the IR port on 

the rear of the BlueBeam to an IR emitter or the IR input of an IR distribution 

block. Non-PS3 commands will be passed to the IR output of the BlueBeam. 

7.  USING BLUEBEAM SOFTWARE

•  Download PC software from www.audioauthority.com/page/software.
•  Connect BlueBeam to PC using USB 2.0 cable (requires mini-USB). 
•  Uses existing Windows drivers – does not require additional drivers. 
•  If changes are made, you must click SAVE to write them to the device. 
•  To erase custom settings (and all macros) select the menu option 

OPTIONS > RESTORE DEFAULT SETTINGS. 

SETTINGS TAB

• External, Modulated

• External, Demodulated

• Repeater Mode

Selects if IR should be received through the 

internal IR receiver, OR through an externally 

connected IR receiver (both cannot be active 

at once). If an external IR receiver is used 

BlueBeam must be powered by USB or DC 

adapter, not batteries. 

Power Tracking

The BlueBeam can keep track of the PS3 

power state internally, or actively via USB.

Bluetooth Pairing Mode

Default is auto. Use manual mode when 

necessary.
