Introduction
Product Overview
Thank you for choosing the Russound SaphIR™K2 keypad. The
K2 is an in-wall programmable IR keypad that works like a universal remote to provide complete control of your audio and
video components. It contains an extensive library of IR codes
to select discs, tracks, channels, volume, and other settings for
most audio and video components. It can also learn IR commands for components and other devices not in the library. A
powerful macro feature allows you to use the K2 for advanced
functions such as lowering a screen and dimming the lights in a
home theater. A built-in speaker relay allows you to easily mute
the speakers in the room by simply turning off the keypad.
Applications
•
Contr
ol an entertainment system with up to eight sources
—
The K2 keypad controls up to eight audio-video sources and a
stereo or home theater receiver or IR-controlled amplifier.
•
Control the second zone of a receiver or processor
— If you
have a multizone receiver or processor with an IR control port
for the second zone, you can use the K2 to remotely control
the second zone from that room.
•
Control multiple receivers
— If you have multiple receivers, you
can create a simple multiroom system sharing sources such as
a CD/DVD player or cable box. In this scenario, each receiver is
dedicated to a single zone and controlled by a separate K2 keypad. This gives each user their own tuner and individual volume
controls as well as access to the common sources.

INSTALLER
Getting Started
Typical System
Configuration
The SaphIR K2 keypad requires
an IR connecting block such as
the Russound 857 for power and
communication with the components and other K2 keypads. The
amp/receiver and other devices
receive commands from the 857
connecting block through 845.1
or 1584.1 micro emitters or by
direct connection to IR input jacks
on the components.
The Russound 1201A power supply for the 857 supports a maximum of four K2 keypads.
If the installation includes more
than one K2 keypad, you can tie
them together with a Russound
EZB-1SC connecting block. The
EZB-1SC is a parallel wiring
device for speakers or IR data
and power. This makes it a convenient point for connecting more
than one K2 keypad.
Multiple arrangements can be
linked together with successive
857s for increased capacity. See
pages 16 and 17 for connection
details.

Programming Overview
Programming Methods
There are two ways to program the SaphIR K2 keypad. The easier method is to use EZpro software on a connected Windows-based
computer, but you can also program the keypad manually using the programming menu described in this section. The menu is
organized in a file tree structure similar to that found on a computer. At each subsequent level, options become more specific. The
menu procedures provide intuitive options and navigation, allowing you to maximize source control and ease of use.
Once the keypad is programmed, you can copy the configuration to other K2 keypads in the system (up to 16) individually or all at
once by using the Copy Config procedure.
Tools and References
This manual includes the following items to help you in the programming process:
Source Information Form (page 55) – A blank reproducible form is provided for planning sources and settings. We recommend
that you complete the form before you begin programming and refer to it during the programming process. This will speed up your
programming time and reduce missed or incorrect entries, as well as provide you with a record of the settings. A sample completed
form on page 54 shows you how to use the form.
Source Names (page 56) – A list of assignable source names is provided for you to select in advance and record on the Source
Information Form before programming. These are the names that will appear in the keypad display when the user selects sources.
IR Device Codes (pages 57–61) – This list includes all the IR device codes built into the K2 keypad, grouped by component type.
Normally you will select a device code for the amp/receiver and each source during Basic Setup. If you cannot find a working
device code for a component, you can use the Learn IR procedure to teach the keypad that component’s IR commands.
Key Function List (pages 62–67) – This list identifies which key functions are supported by the built-in IR commands for each
type of component. “Learned Only” indicates functions that are not supported and whose IR commands must be learned into the K2.
The key functions listed for each component are the ones that appear on the keypad display during the Key Configuration procedure
in the Programming Menu.

Programming Overview
Recommended Process
It will be much easier to program the SaphIR K2 if you follow the
steps in a particular order, especially if you’re programming it
manually. Here’s the order we recommend for initial setup:
1. Component Control – First learn how the amp/receiver
and source components work with their remote controls,
especially how source inputs are numbered on the amp/
receiver. This is important for configuring the inputs for
selection by the Source key. List the sources on the Source
Information Form (page 55).
2. IR Device Codes – Look up the amp/receiver’s and source
components’ device codes in the IR Device Codes list
(pages 57–61). Record component information and settings
on the Source Information Form (page 55).
3. Keypad ID (page 40) – If the system you’re installing has
more than one SaphIR K2 keypad, assign a unique ID number to each keypad. This procedure is necessary before you
can copy the configuration from one keypad to the others.
This doesn’t apply if you’re installing only one SaphIR K2.
4. Amp/Receiver Basic Setup (page 23) – Set up the
amp/receiver first to lay the foundation for source setup.
The amp/receiver selects sources and controls functions
common to all sources, such as volume, tone, and surround
mode. Also, it’s important to understand the order in which
the amp/receiver selects source inputs when you assign
source numbers to the sources.
5. Learn IR (page 25) – In most cases you will be able to
find an IR device code for the amp/receiver. If not, you can
use the Learn IR procedure to teach the keypad the com-
mands from the remote control. The commands are centrally stored in the keypad as a learned IR command type.
6. Number of Sources (page 27) – If the system has fewer
than eight sources, specify the total number of sources to
prevent unused source numbers from appearing in the keypad display. Don’t forget to count the tuner in the receiver if
it will be used as a source.
7. Source Basic Setup (page 28) – Follow the Source Basic
Setup procedure for each source, including the receiver’s
tuner if it is used, for the keypad to be able to control the
sources. As with the amp/receiver, you may need to use the
Learn IR procedure for some sources if their IR device
codes aren’t in the built-in library.
8. Numeric IR (page 32) – The Numeric IR procedure lets
you program numeric functions so the user can pick station,
channel, or disk numbers from scroll lists on the keypad.
9. Power Management (page 35) – If you program the
power management feature, the keypad can issue discrete
commands and/or macros to control the power state of the
amp/receiver and source components. When you turn on
the keypad (or first keypad in a multiple-keypad system), the
components turn on; when you issue an All Off command,
they turn off.
10. Macro Editor (page 38) – The Macro Editor allows you to
build command sequences that run with a single key touch.
This is useful for issuing power commands to multiple components for power management. It’s also useful for controlling other devices like home theater screens and projectors
in conjunction with source equipment.
21
11. Amp/Receiver Key Configuration (page 24) – By
default, the Source key selects sources and the Volume
keys adjust the output volume of the amp/receiver. You
may wish to reconfigure these keys to perform alternate functions. The Amp/Receiver Key Configuration
procedure allows you to do this.
12. Source Command Key Configuration (page 30) –
This procedure allows you to assign additional or alternate functions to the seven command keys on the
SaphIR K2 keypad for any source. Each command key
can be programmed to perform separate “press” and
“press and hold” functions.
13. Copy Configuration (page 40) – In a multiple-keypad
system, this procedure allows you to copy all the programming from the first keypad to all the others in the
system. To do this, each keypad must have a unique
keypad ID (step 3).

Programming Menu Instructions
PROGRAMMING MENU
The Programming Menu has various levels and consists of submenus, procedures, and features. A
procedure
is a guided sequence
of steps to set feature parameters, such as selecting source names. Once you begin a procedure, the system prompts for the information needed at each step. A
feature
is a setting for which you must choose a parameter. Together, the feature parameters make
up the system configuration.
In the following pages, procedures are identified as either
Required, Conditional
, or
Optional
. You must perform all Required procedures to program the basic functions of the SaphIR K2 keypad. You may also need to perform Conditional procedures, depending
on the requirements of the installation. Optional procedures are available for programming special functions.
Navigation
The following keys are used to navigate the Programming Menu and set parameters:
SETUP BUTTON – To enter the Programming Menu while the keypad is in normal operating mode, press and release the Setup
button (located on the right edge of the keypad). To avoid accidental damage, use a nonmetallic object to press the
button. Also use the Setup button to back out of the Programming Menu one level at a time. If you are performing a procedure, the Setup button brings you back to the beginning of the procedure. Once you have reached the top level of the
Programming Menu, pressing the Setup button brings you back to normal operating mode.
NEXT KEY – Go to next menu/procedure/feature on the same menu level. Not available while performing a procedure.
PREVIOUS KEY – Go to previous menu/procedure/feature on the same menu level. Not available while performing a procedure.
PLUS KEY – Select feature parameter (increment).
MINUS KEY – Select feature parameter (decrement).
PLAY KEY – Enter menu/begin procedure/show current feature setting. While performing a procedure, it is also used to
advance to the next feature setting once the current feature setting has been viewed or selected.
