Controlling Multiple FireBalls with 1 Remote
Every FireBall is preset from the factory to operate from the FB source button, however, the
FireBall can be configured to use any one of the three Escient 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 (FB, TB, or PP) 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, TB, and PP Source Buttons
The FB, TB, and PP source buttons are preprogrammed at the factory with the correct codes
to control a FireBall H/E, a TuneBase 200, and a PowerPlay. If you changed these buttons to
control other devices, you will have to reset the FB, TB, or PP source button s b ack to the
original codes in order to control the original device again. Use the following steps to program
these buttons back to their factory states:
Press the FB, TB, or PP source button to be re-programmed.
Press & Hold the “Code Set” button on the remote until the LED flashes twice.

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 <<Code Set>> Digit Digit Digit Digit
When successf ul, 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 <<Code Set>> 9 9 0 1 (count blinks) 2 (count blinks) 3 (count blinks)
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> <9> <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><<Code Set>> 9 9 0

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 <<Code Set>> 9 9 1 Function 1 [Function 2 … Function N] Mode
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 program ming
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>> <9> <9> <3> <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>> <9> <9> <3> <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):
Mode <<Code Set>> <9> <9> <3> <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] <<Code Set>> <9> <9> <3> <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 >> 9 9 2 Source Mode 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 >> <9> <9> <2> <DVD> <AUX>
Reset to Defaults
Operational Features Reset (980)
