Director - IR-Remote Control

With the Director we have developed a universal-programmable remote control for all
our audio components. The Director is capable of co ntrolling three different types of
Trigon components:

Amplifiers

CD-Players

Tuners

The Director uses infrared (IR) codes, which a re activated when pushing the buttons
on the remote control.
The technology used in this remote control is designed to be completely upgradeable
through software reprogramming (at the factory), at any time to support all future
Trigon audio component releases. Thisupgrade path i nsures that your investment in
the Director will be secured. With that, we thank you for your purchase and wish you
all the best.

The Director uses self-explanatory graphical symbols on the control interface that can
be used over a wide range of product types. The use o f symbols allows one button
to control a variety offunctio ns in different components. The explanations ofthese
functions are explained in clear text below for each component type. The result is a
clearly laid out control interface th at, with a little time, will be completely comfortable
in every day use.

The Director is preprogrammed a t the factory to fully control the following Trigon
products; Snow White (Preamp), TRV100 (Preamp) and the RECALL (CD Player) . It
is also programmed with the codes for a future Trigon Tuner, which has not been
released.

The Infrared codes (IR) for both the TRV100 and RECALL are proprietary codes that
are specially designed for the Director. T hecodes for the Snow White and Tuner use
the industry standard RC-5 format.

Di re ct or

To the right is a diagram of the

Director󰾺s co ntrol interface. Below, we

will clarify the individual button functions

for the various Trigon compontents.

Selecting a component type

With the button

(upper right corner

next to the Signal-

LEDs) you can select

the component type to be used:

Amplifier , CD-Player

and Tuner

.

The functionality of the various buttons

changes depending on which

component is selected. The only

exception to this are the buttons for

increasing Volume

and decreasing

Volume

. The Volume buttons will

always control the volume of the system

regardless of which component type is

selected.

Changing the RC-

Codes for the

Amplifier component type.

With the Amplifier

component type

selected, you ca n toggle the RC-

Codes

to allow control of either the TRV-

100 or

the Snow White preamplifiers by

pushing the buttons and

at the

same time for approx. 3 seconds.

If all three Signal-

LEDs blink twice after

you have depressed the and

buttons, then you have programed the

Director to contr

ol the TRV100

preamplifier. If the Signal-

LEDs blink

five times, then you have programmed it

to control the Snow White preamplifier.

Factory setting: After installing the

batteries in the Director for the first time,

it is set to control the SnowWhite by
default.

If the TRV100 does not respond to the remote commands, it can be that the Director
is programmed to send the RC-5 codes from the Snow W hite preamplifier. If this is

the case, press and hold the and buttons at the same time for approx. 3
seconds to program the remote to send the special code set for the TRV100.

After you have installed the batteries the Director will automatically be in the Amplifier

component type mode. From the factory, th eDi rectori s set to control the TRV100
preamplifier. If the SnowWhite does no t respond to the remote commands, i t can be
that the Director is programmed send special codes for the TRV100. If this is the

case, press and hold the and buttons at the same for approx. 3 seconds to
program the remote to send the RC-5 code set for the SnowWhite.

Batteries:

The Director uses two 1.5 Volt AAA batte ries. In order to i nstall the batteries, you
must first remove the bottom plate. Todo so, please unscrew the screws that secur e
the bottom plate with the supplied wrench.
Use only quality batteries to help protect your remote from batteries that may leak
damaging fluid into the Director. The use of rechargeable batteries is also possible.
Empty batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. If you plan not to use the
Director for some time, it is recommended that you test the batteries before next
usage.

Furniture and Unit care:

Supplied with the Director are four soft rubber feet to be applied to the bottom of the
remote. We recommend that you place them above the screws that hold the bottom

7

plate on. These are designed to help protect both the remote and any furniture
where it may be placed from producing surface scratches.
To clean the Director, use a damp soft fabric towel to carefully wipe the surface of the
remote. Be sure not to get any water into the remote as this could damage it.
