PROGRAMMING
Programming IR Commands
C-4.4 System programming takes only a few minutes and provides power management and basic
transport control for the connected sources. Out of the box, the system has default programming for
Controller & Zone ON/OFF, Input Select and Volume UP/DOWN so those functions do not require
programming. When finished, the buttons on the K-4.4 Keypads and RC-4 will have the same
functionality.
NOTE 1:
The programmable keypad buttons can only be programmed for single IR commands.
NOTE 2:
The power management programming only allows for learning IR toggle commands. Some
devices have both discrete and toggle commands available. Use the toggle commands when available. In
some cases, if a particular device’s remote has discrete ON/OFF commands, the toggle command from
another model from the same manufacturer will turn a device ON/OFF.
NOTE 3:
When using two C-4.4 Controllers in an expanded system, both controllers must be
programmed for Source IR commands.
Programming utilizes the RC-4 Remote Control, the original manufacturer remotes for the sources to be
controlled and requires that the C-4.4 Controller has AC power. All sources should be connected and
have IR emitters attached to test commands. To program C-4.4 source control:
1.
Activate Learn Mode by pointing the Nexus RC-4 Remote Control at the IR Port on the C-4.4 front
panel and pressing the LRN Button for 5 seconds. Release the LRN Button. The four LEDs below the
IR Port will scroll red from left to right. This indicates the C-4.4 is in Learn Mode and ready for a
Source to be selected.
2.
Point the RC-4 at the IR Port and press one of the four Source Buttons, (1-4) depending on which
source is to be programmed. After a Source has been selected, the LEDs will stop scrolling and the
LED corresponding to the source selected will illuminate solid red.
3.
If the component being programmed has a play command, (CD play, DVD play etc) on the RC-4,
press the source button pressed in Step 2 again to prepare the C-4.4 to learn the play command.
(The play command will be placed under the source button and will be output every time the source
button is pressed.) If a different source other than the one indicated by the lit LED is selected, the C-
4.4 will switch to that source rather than be ready to learn the play command. The LED that was lit
solid red will now begin to flash slowly in red. This indicates that the C-4.4 is ready to learn the play
command.
4.
Point the source remote with the play command to be learned at the IR Port from a distance of 1 to 2
inches. Quickly press and release the play button. The Source LED on the C-4.4 will flicker red, then
flash green three times to indicate the command has been learned and then return to solid red. If the
LED flashes red three times instead of green, repeat Steps 3-4.
5.
Repeat the learning process for the other programmable buttons, (

and PWR) for the
selected source, by alternately pressing the
<<

and PWR buttons on the RC-4 and then using
the source remote to program the corresponding IR commands.
NOTE:
The IR command for PWR for all sources is output automatically whenever the first zone in
the system comes on, or after the last zone in the system is turned off.
6.
To program the IR commands for the other sources, repeat Steps 2-5 selecting a different source in
Step 2 until all source commands have been learned.
7.
When all IR programming is complete, press the LRN Button on the RC-4 to exit Learn Mode.
8.
Test all commands to confirm programming. Repeat previous steps for commands that do not
function properly.
9.
If programming an expanded system with two C-4.4 Controllers, repeat all previous steps for the
Slave Controller.
