the selection to be seen easily from across the room) and its decimal point will light up. By pressing a

ashing zone’s button again, you can unselect the zone.

Once a zone (or zones) have been selected, pressing an input button 2, or pressing the buttons 1

- 4 on the remote control, maps the chosen input to the selected zone(s). The zone LED(s) will stop

ashing, but will remain selected, (the decimal point will remain lit). To remap the currently selected

zone(s) to a different input, simply press another input button.

Presets (User Deﬁned Discretes)

Programming a preset (a user dened IR discrete code)

The HDS4x2 allows you to setup a preset mapping of inputs to output zones and recall it with a single IR button press. Installations can be made more reliable, and IR programming for universal remotes becomes very

simple. A single IR button press can turn on the HDS4x2, and remap either or both zones to your predened

inputs.

The HDS4x2 has 8 general use preset buttons, though any of the discrete mapping buttons can be redened, allowing for up to 24 dened presets.

Dening a preset on the HDS4x2 is similar to setting a station on a car radio:

Setup the HDS4x2 to the mapping you wish to save as a preset.

Use the Zone select buttons to select the zone or zones you want saved as part of the preset. Only the

zones that are ashing will be saved as part of the preset. For instance if Zone 1 is ashing, and Zone 2

is not, then only Zone 1 will be affected by the preset, Zone 2 will be left unchanged when pressing the preset.

Once you have selected the zones to be saved as part of the preset, press the

you have selected (the ones that were ashing) will display ‘v’s, those that were not selected will display ‘o’s. If only dashes ‘-’ are displayed, then no zones were ashing when you pressed the

this is the case, you can press the

Once the display is showing ‘v’s and ‘o’s, press one of the user dened buttons A - G. The display

Now when the newly programmed button is pressed, the HDS4x2 will power on (if it is not already on), and

remap the zone(s) you selected to the inputs you specied. Similar to a preset on a car radio.

NOTE: The buttons A through G are available as general use presets, however any of the buttons through

may also be used as presets, allowing for 24 user dened presets.

An example of dening a preset

Assuming we want to dene preset A to map Input 1 to Zone 1 and Input 4 to Zone 2.

The above illustration shows the HDS4x2 setup in the desired mode, using normal operations setup the HDS4x2 so that Zone 1 is mapped to Input 1 and Zone 2 is mapped to Input 4 as shown (don’t worry about the decimal points).

To program the A preset:

Press the O1 and O2 buttons. Both Zones display’s should now be ashing.

Press the

Press the A preset button, the display will ash quickly three times.

To test the newly programmed preset, setup the HDS4x2 to anything but the above setup.

Now press the A preset, if the HDS4x2 was powered off, it will power itself on, Zone 1 will be mapped to Input 1, and Zone 2 will be mapped to Input 4.

A universal remote can now be programmed to send just the single discrete IR code for the A. By sending this single code, the HDS4x2 will power itself on and map both zones. There’s no need to use macro programming on your universal remote. Since only a single IR code is sent, there’s no chance of missing one in a series of IR codes, and there are no timing issues of sending a code sequence that’s too fast or too slow.

SET

button, both Zones display’s should now be displaying ‘v’s.
