Programming The MIO R-1 AUDIO Using KeypadBuilder

The MIO R-1 AUDIO comes pre-customized with appropriate labels, which in most cases should not be changed. However, if in your installation you intend to use the MIO R-1 AUDIO with a NetLinx Controller and Metreau AxLink keypads (for more than just Audio), you could customize your buttons in the KeypadBuilder application. The application and documentation are available from www.amx.com. There are a select number of Serial Commands the MIO R-1 AUDIO recognizes. For a full list and descriptions, consult the MIO R-1 AUDIO Operation/Reference Guide. The Programming Jack is used for communication between the device and KeypadBuilder. The programming jack uses a three-wire, 2.5 mm stereo jack, you can order the programming cable (FG10-817) from AMX if you do not currently possess one. While loading your configuration file make sure the device is situated as such that the batteries will not fall out. The load will fail if your batteries fall out during the process. The MIO communicates at 115200 baud rate.

Refer to the MIO R-1 AUDIO Operation/Reference Guide for instructions on using the Programming Jack to load configuration files on the MIO R-1 AUDIO.

Tone Control & SRS Setting

To access the Tone Control and SRS settings, press the TONE button. This enables the Tone Control Mode with BASS as the first mode selected. There are 3 Tone Control Modes available for adjustment, and 4 SRS options, as follows:

• BASS: Increase / Decrease from -10dB to +10dB (Up/Down NAV buttons)

• Treble: Increase / Decrease from -10dB to +10dB (Up/Down NAV buttons)

• Balance: Left / Right (Up NAV button = right, Down NAV button = left)

• SRS options: BASS Boost, Focus, 3D, WOW

The Source buttons on the Metreau keypad provides visual feedback as to which mode it is currently in. The following sources will light based on the current mode:

• Source 1 = BASS

• Source 2 = Treble

• Source 3 = Balance

• Source 4 = SRS

When first entering Tone Control Mode, BASS mode is active (Source 1 LED is lit). To move from mode to mode, select the Center NAV button. This saves the setting and moves to the next mode.

Note: While in each of the modes, press and hold the Center NAV button to return to the default for that mode.

SRS (Bass Boost, Focus, 3D and WOW) Settings

Use the UP Nav button to cycle through the SRS Settings: BASS Boost, Focus, 3D, WOW (in that order).

Use the Down NAV button to cycle backwards to the previous SRS setting.

• Press and hold the Center NAV button to disengage/clear the SRS settings (none of the SRS modes will be engaged).

• Press the Center NAV button to save SRS Mode & exit from Tone Control set-up.

Only one SRS mode can be engaged per room/zone. Each room/zone, however, can have a different SRS mode. The Volume LED's are used to provide feedback as to which SRS setting is active:

•No LED = SRS Off

• LED1 = BASS boost

• LED 1&2 =Focus

• LED 1,2&3 =3D

• LED 1,2,3&4 =WOW

Moving from one SRS position to another disengages the original setting i.e. moving from WOW to BASS BOOST, disengages WOW.

Zone Control

• To turn a single Zone ON, press any Source button (or press the Power Button).

Tuners

Enter the station identification and press ENTER.

• Strings of 3 to 4 numbers are recognized.

• If a " • " (dot) is part of the string, then an FM station is assumed, otherwise an AM station is assumed.

Example: 1050 + ENTER= 1050AM, 104 • 5 + ENTER = 104.5FM

CD Player / Changer

To select a specific Disc & Track, the format is DDD • TTT + ENTER (DDD=Disc, TTT=Track).

Example: 11.11 + ENTER = Disc 11, Track 11

To select a specific track on the current disk, enter TTT + ENTER (TTT=Track).

Example: 3 + ENTER = current disk, Track 3

Satellite Radio/Video

Enter the station number and press ENTER. Strings of 2 - 4 numbers are recognized.

Configuration Mode

The configuration mode allows you to set various device features (IR Transmit Mode, Timeout Adjustment, Download Mode, Debug Mode, Battery Type, LED Awake Brightness, and LED Sleep Brightness.

To enter Configuration Mode:

1. Press and hold button #38 and the "." (dot) or button #26 (see FIG. 1). Both buttons must be pressed within 0.1 seconds of each other and held down for 2 seconds. The device indicates you are now in configuration mode.

2. Press button #3 (FAV) when you are finished.

Note: Your settings will not be lost in the event your batteries die or are removed.

IR Transmit Mode

Note: Metreau MET-6N keypads support 38KHz only. The MIO R-1 AUDIO must be set to 38KHz if used with MET-6N keypads.

Pressing button 1 toggles the IR transmission mode between 38KHz (default) and 455KHz. The display indicates the current mode.

Timeout Adjustment

Press button 2 to change the sleep timeout from the default. Each time "2" is pressed, the sleep timeout raises incrementally. The pre-determined sleep timeouts are:3 seconds, 6 seconds, 9 seconds, and 12 seconds. The display indicates the selected sleep timeout.

Download Mode

Pressing button 3 toggles the Download mode OFF and ON. The Download mode must be ON before you can download a file to the MIO R-1 AUDIO device. While the Download mode is ON the device will not go to sleep. A power cycle will return the device to Download OFF.

Debug Mode

Pressing button 4 toggles development mode between ON and OFF. The display indicates the selected mode. In development mode, the display shows the IR code assigned to buttons when pressed. This mode is useful to the programmer when determining what IR codes are associated to each mode.

Battery Type

Pressing button 6 toggles the battery type between Normal and Recharge. The display indicates the selected type. The type of battery in the MIO R-1 AUDIO dictates the battery type you need to set.

LED Awake Brightness

Pressing button 7 toggles the Power LED brightness mode from LOW to MED and then HIGH. The display indicates the selected mode.

LED Sleep Mode Brightness

Pressing button 8 toggles the Sleep brightness mode from OFF to LOW and then MED. The Sleep brightness is the state the MIO R-1 AUDIO assumes while in the charging cradle.
