FireBall Catalyst IR Remote Control

The FireBall products that include the black Catalyst
48 universal remote control can be programmed to
operate up to four different FireBall products in addition
to 4 other home theater devices.

IMPORTANT NOTE

The old original FireBall IR remote control has FB, TB,
PP, and RCV source buttons instead of FB1, FB2,
FB3, and FB4 buttons. This remote will NOT operate a
FireBall a new E2, SE, or DVDM.

FireBall E-40 and E-120 Music Servers which have
been updated with the E2 Software Update do not
have the same IR chip and therefore cannot use this
new remote. Continue to use the original FireBall
remote (with FB, TB, PP, and RCV source buttons) for
the FireBall E-40 and E-120.

The 4 source buttons on the remote control labeled
FB1, FB2, FB3, and FB4 can only be programmed to
operate the FireBall products. The 4 source buttons on
the remote labeled TV, CBL, RCV, and DVD can be
programmed to operate other devices.

In addition, any of the 8 source buttons on the remote
can be programmed to operate one legacy Escient
FireBall product, such as a FireBall H, FireBall E-40,
FireBall E-120, FireBall MP-100, or TuneBase 200.

Controlling Multiple FireBalls with 1 Remote

FireBall is preset from the factory to operate from the FB1 source button, however, the FireBall
can be configured to use any one of the four source buttons using the on screen Setup menus.
This is useful when there are multiple FireBalls installed at the same location, so all FireBalls
don’t respond to the same IR commands. Use the following steps to change which source
button (FB1, FB2, FB3, or FB4) each FireBall will listen for commands from:

 Press the Setup key on the remote to display the FireBall setup menu.
 Highlight and Select the Utilities menu item.
 Highlight and Select the IR Remote Control menu item.
 Highlight and Select which source button to use to control this FireBall.
 Press the new source button on your remote to reconfigure the remote and confirm the

change by selecting the OK button on screen.

Repeat these steps for each FireBall in your system, selecting a different FB button for each.

Resetting the FB Source Buttons

The FB1, FB2, FB3, and FB4 source buttons are preprogrammed at the factory with the
correct codes to control four FireBals. If you changed these buttons to control other devices,
you will have to reset the FB Source buttons back to the original codes in order to control
FireBalls again. Use the following steps to program these buttons back to their factory states:

 Press the FB1, FB2, FB3, or FB4 source button to be re-programmed.
 Press & Hold the “Code Set” button on the remote until the LED flashes twice.
 Enter “987” using the remote’s numeric keypad. The LED should again flash twice.

 Enter the factory reset code which corresponds to the FB button being reset:

o “0082” for FB1
o “0083” for FB2
o “0084” for FB3
o “0085” for FB4

 The LED will again flash twice indicating the programming was successful.

Repeat these steps for each FireBall in your system, selecting a different FB button for each.

Programming the Universal Source Buttons

Use the following steps to program the AUX, CBL, DVD, TV, and RCV source buttons to
control other devices. The following table indicates which device types can be programmed on
which source buttons:

Source Button Device Assignment

TV TV
CBL Cable, Video Accessories, Satellite, DSS
RCV Amplifier, Tuner, Phono, Misc. Audio, CD, Home Automation, MD
DVD VCR, Audio Cassette, DVD, LDP, DAT, PVR

 Locate the 4 digit device code for the device you want to control in Appendix A.
 Press the source button to be programmed.
 Press & Hold the “Code Set” button on the remote until the LED flashes twice.
 Enter the 4 digit code using the remote’s numeric keypad. The LED will flash twice

indicating the code was accepted.

Note: If the LED does a single long flash then the entered code was not valid for that source
button.

See Appendix B for details and instructions for accessing the other various functions available
on the remote control:

Programming the Source Buttons to Control a Legacy FireBall Product

The FireBall remote can also be programmed to control a single FireBall H, E-40, E-120, MP­100 or TuneBase 200. Any of the eight source buttons can be programmed to control one of
these FireBall products.

 Press the source button to be programmed.
 Press & Hold the “Code Set” button on the remote until the LED flashes twice.
 Enter “987” using the remote’s numeric keypad. The LED should flash twice again.
 Enter “0086”. The LED will again flash twice indicating the programming was

successful.

Note: This programming feature sets one of the source buttons on the FireBall remote to
emulate the FB button on the legacy FireBall product remote, therefore, you must set the
legacy FireBall device to use the “FB” source button within it’s Setup/Utilities/IR Remote menu.

FireBall Venture Wireless IR Keyboard

The Venture IR keyboard with universal remote control capabilities is included with most high
end FireBall products and is available as an add on accessory. The keyboard can be
programmed to operate one FireBall and three other devices.

Only the FireBall source button (the one with the swoop) can be programmed to operate
the FireBall. The three source buttons on the remote labeled TV, RCV, and DVD can be
programmed to operate other devices.

o 1120 for the FB2 button
o 1121 for the FB3 button
o 1122 for the FB4 button

 The LED will again flash twice indicating the programming was successful.

Programming the CBL button for FireBall Transport Control

The transport buttons on the top right of the keyboard are programmed to operate the FireBall,
however, they are actually programmed onto the CBL source buttons.

WARNING!

DO NOT program the CBL source button to control any other devices. Doing so will prohibit
the use of the transport keys for controlling the FireBall.

The CBL button by default functions as the FB1 transport controls. This button “punches-thru”
to the swoop key so that both are enabled when either the Swoop (FB1, FB2, FB3, or FB4) or
the CBL button has been pressed. However, the CBL button is not available as a universal
source when it has been programmed as the FireBall transport source button.
The CBL button can be programmed to assign transport controls to either FB1, FB2, FB3, or
FB4. Follow these instructions to program the CBL button to operate the transport controls of
the FireBall:

 Press CBL
 Press & Hold the “Set” button on the keyboard until the LED flashes twice.
 Slowly enter “997” using the number buttons on the keyboard. The LED will flash twice

again.

 Press the “CH-” button on the left side of the keyboard. The LED will flash four times.
 Press the CBL source button.
 Press & Hold the “Set” button on the remote until the LED flashes twice.
 Enter the CBL reset code which corresponds to the FB source being reset:

o “1370” for FB1 transport controls
o “1371” for FB2 transport controls
o “1372” for FB3 transport controls
o “1373” for FB4 transport controls

 The LED will flash twice indicating the code was accepted.

If you accidentally reprogram the CBL source button, use the following steps to program the
CBL button back to control the FireBall transports:

 Press CBL
 Press & Hold the “Set” button on the keyboard until the LED flashes twice.
 Slowly enter “997” using the number buttons on the keyboard. The LED will flash twice

again.

 Press the “CH-” button on the left side of the keyboard. The LED will flash four times.

APPENDIX B – Detailed Remote Instructions

Nomenclature:

<<Code Set>> means to press and hold the Code Set button on the remote until the LED
flashes twice.

Mode is any of the eight source buttons on the remote.
ID Code Setup

The four digit code obtained from the Appendix A can be programmed as follows:
Mode Æ <<Code Set>> Æ DigitÆ DigitÆ DigitÆ Digit
When successful, the LED will blink two times after <<Code Set>>. The LED will blink once

after each digit entry except for the last digit and will blink two times to confirm that a valid
code has been programmed. The remote will turn off the LED, automatically exit the
programming mode, return to the idle mode and restore the last preprogrammed codes under
two conditions:

1. When 10 seconds has elapsed after the last key press.

2. When an invalid code is entered upon which the LED will display one long blink.
The programming mode will be exited at any time by pressing any key other than the digit key.
ID Code Verification (990)
The device code for a mode will be verified as follows:
Mode Æ <<Code Set>> Æ 9 Æ 9 Æ 0 Æ 1 (count blinks)Æ 2 (count blinks) Æ 3 (count blinks)

Æ 4 (count blinks).
The number of blinks counted after pressing each digit 1, 2, 3 and 4 key represents the 4 digit

device code for the selected mode beginning with the left most digit. The remote will exit the
Code Verification state when, after performing the sequence <9> Æ <9> Æ <0>, the user
presses any key other than digit 1. If the sequence of pressing digits 1, 2, 3 and 4 for counting
blinks is not maintained, the remote will exit Code Verification state. Operation error and state
exit will be marked by the LED emitting a long blink. The remote will time out after 10 seconds
during programming if no keys are pressed.

Example:

To verify the TV code is 0047:
<TV>Æ<<Code Set>> Æ 9 Æ 9 Æ 0 Æ

<1> Æ 0 blinks
<2> Æ 0 blinks
<3> Æ 4 blinks
<4> Æ 7 blinks

Step and Set (991)
In the event that the device code for a component is unknown, the user can cycle the remote

through the available codes for that device mode and sample functions from each code in
order to find the code that properly operates the component. The keys available to be
sampled, provided they are applicable to that mode are: 0, 1, 2, 3, Power, Channel Up,
Volume Up, Play and Stop. Invalid key presses will be ignored while in Step and Set
programming state.

To cycle through each available device code and sample its functions:
Mode Æ <<Code Set>> Æ 9 Æ 9 Æ 1 Æ Function 1 [Function 2 Æ … Function N] ÆMode Æ

Code Set
The available functions within a code may be sampled as many times as desired until

advancing to the next code by pressing the Mode key. Pressing Code Set listed at the end of
the sequence will then program the remote with the device code that was last sampled.

The search function will indicate it has cycled through all of the available codes by blinking the
LED three times. The remote will begin to cycle through the available codes again. The LED
will light each time a function is sent. If no key is pressed within 10 seconds, the remote will
exit the set up mode and return to the code previously set up before “Step and Set” was
initiated. The remote will blink two times after successful completion of the programming
sequence. The remote will time out after 10 seconds during programming if no keys are
pressed.

Volume Lock (993)
The user will lock volume to one mode as follows (a.k.a. Global Volume Lock):
<<Code Set>> Æ <9> Æ <9> Æ <3> Æ <Desired Mode>
The user will reset the volume controls to be that of the original device code as follows (a.k.a.

Global Volume Unlock):
<<Code Set>> Æ <9> Æ <9> Æ <3> Æ <Volume Up>
The remote will blink two times upon being locked and blink 4 times when unlocked.
If user wants to unlock volume for a specific mode (a.k.a. Individual Volume Unlock):
ModeÆ <<Code Set>> Æ <9> Æ <9> Æ <3> Æ <Volume Down>
The remote will blink 4 times upon being unlocked.
The remote will time out after 10 seconds during programming mode if no keys are pressed.

Example:

[TV] Æ <<Code Set>> Æ <9> Æ <9> Æ <3> Æ <Volume Down>
Upon entry of an invalid key sequence, the remote control will display one long blink and return

to normal operation.
The remote will exit programming state and return to normal operation if 10 seconds has

elapsed between key presses.
Mode Reassignment (992)
This feature will change a selected device Mode Key to the desired device Mode

Key. For example, an AUX device mode key (destination mode) could be changed to an
additional VCR device mode key (source mode) to facilitate the operation of two different VCR
devices.

<< Code Set >>Æ 9 Æ 9 Æ 2 Æ Source Mode Æ Destination Mode
The ID in the destination mode now is the default ID of the source mode. The remote will blink

two times after successful completion of the programming sequence. The remote will time out
after 10 seconds during programming.

Example: To designate the AUX key to become a second DVD key
<< Code Set >> Æ <9> Æ <9> Æ <2> Æ <DVD> Æ <AUX>
Reset to Defaults

Operational Features Reset (980)
Clear all setup features not related to ID code setup. Namely, Key Movers, Volume lock, ID
lock, and any EEPROM information related to these features.

<< Code Set >>Æ 9 Æ 8 Æ 0
The remote will blink two times, pause, then blink two more times after successful completion

of the programming sequence. There will be 2 blinks if no EEPROM or EEPROM is bad. The
remote will time out after 10 seconds during programming.
Manufacturing Reset (981)
Functions the same as the Operational Reset (980) with the exception that the remote resets
to the default ID and additionally clears all EEPROM data including all upgraded codes:

<< Code Set >>Æ 9 Æ 8 Æ 1
The remote will blink two times, pause then blink two more times after successful completion of

the programming sequence. There will be 2 blinks and one long blink if EEPROM is bad. The
remote will time out after 10 seconds during programming.
Basic User Reset (977)
Similar to the Operational Features Reset (980) with the exception that the remote will reset
codes to the default settings:

<< Code Set >> Æ 9 Æ 7 Æ 7
The remote will blink two times, pause, then blink two more times after successful completion

of the programming sequence. There will be 2 blinks if no EEPROM or EEPROM is bad. The
remote will time out after 10 seconds during programming.

Code Lock/Unlock for Specific Mode (982)
After a valid code has been set, the code for a specific mode will be locked and unlocked as

follows:
Mode Æ << Code Set >> Æ 9 Æ 8Æ 2
The remote will blink two times upon being locked and blink 4 times when unlocked.

The remote will time out after 10 seconds during programming.
Step and Set and Mode Reassignment will not be allowed when the code has been
locked.
