SYSTEM OPERATION
Page 55
< and > keys
The < and > keys perform slightly different functions
depending on the source selected when they are pressed. For
tuner or satellite sources the
< key will select one preset or
channel down from the current choice, the > key will
select one preset or channel up. The display will show
¢Preset or Preset∞(if Tuner is selected) and
¢Channel or Channel∞(if a satellite source is
selected) reverting to display the new channel or preset
number selected ( Tuner P3 or DSS Ch01
(examples)).
If a Laserdisc, DVD player or video recorder is the selected
source, the < and > keys perform search with picture
backwards and search forwards respectively (the display will
change to
¢Search or Search∞). The search
function will only operate while the key is being held down.
When the key is released play is resumed and the display will
revert to the appropriate source name (
LD , DVD or VCR
(examples)).
Note: because of the repeating nature of the IR code
for the search function other IR functions in the Controller will
be blocked. If a keypress is made while the selected source is
searching the display will show
Busy and the request will
not be actioned.
If a cassette deck is the selected source and if the function
is supported by the machine, the < and > keys will
operate as previous and next track keys (the display will
change to
¢Track or Track∞). Note that the display
will revert to showing the source Cass without waiting for
the machine to find a track.
If a sound server is the selected source the < and >
keys will operate as the Next track and Previous track function.
«and » keys
As with the <and > keys, the « and »
keys perform slightly different functions depending on
the source selected when they are pressed. For CD and
Tuner sources there is no appropriate function and the
display will simply show
Can’t do .
If a multi-disc CD player is the selected source the
« and » keys function as previous Disc ( ¢Disc )
and next Disc (
Disc∞) keys. A long press on the »
key will change the display to a flashing CD 1 , the number
will increment at increasing speed up to the maximum number
of CDs in the multi-disc player. When the correct number is
reached
CD 23 (example) the button should be released.
Only after 3 seconds free from up and down key-presses
will the code be sent to select that disc. During that period the
CD number can be adjusted using the
« and » keys.
The display will then revert.
If a satellite receiver is the selected source the
« and
»keys will skip down or up 10 channels. The display will
show ¢10Chann or Chann∞10 and revert to
showing the newly selected channel
DSS Ch21(example).
If a video recorder or cassette deck is the selected source then
the « and » keys function as rewind ( VCR rew
and Cass rew ) and fast forward ( VCR ffwd and Cas
ffwd ) keys. This function can be stopped by the STOP key
on the remote handset (
Stop appears on the display which
then reverts to showing the selected source). Pressing the
v or ç source key on the Keypad/Display takes the
selected source out of fast forward/rewind and into play
mode, the display reflects this showing either
VCR play
or Cas play before reverting to the source name.
If a Laserdisc or DVD player is the selected source the
«and » keys operate as previous and next Chapter
keys. The display will show Chapt∞or ¢Chapt before
reverting to show the source LD or DVD .
If a Server is the selected source the « and » keys
performs a Previous and Next album function.
L key
Pressing the L key switches the zone to operate on
the Local source. The volume is turned down (the display shows
the initial source and the volume decrementing
Tuner
##). The display shows the Local source is selected and turns
up the volume to the previously set level (Local # # ).
The display then reverts to show the source Local .
Source keys
In addition to their On functions the Source keys all switch to
and actuate the appropriate component. The display reflects
this by showing Cas play or CD play before
reverting to simple source names Cass and CD .
If the system is in Local mode the system will turn the volume
down (the display shows the Local source and the volume
decrementing Local ##). The display then shows the
selected source Cas play and turns up the volume to the
previously set level ( Cass ##). The display then reverts
to show the selected source Cass .
Note: When the system receives a CD play command
from a
C keypress it disregards subsequent CD play
keypresses from anywhere in the system for 5 seconds.
This is to allow the chosen CD source to go into play
without interruption or confusing subsequent keypresses
that may be interpreted as Replay commands by some
CD players.
See the chapter Party mode for special information on
operation of the source keys in party mode.
