Parasound Halo C1 Controller - Manual (Page 19)

• Like the STATUS button on the front panel of the C 1, the STATUS button on the Master remote
and the INFO button on the SideKick can be pressed to show the current main-zone operating sta-
tus (source, audio and video signal types, audio mode, and volume setting) on the C 1 controller’s
front-panel display or on any video projector or monitor connected to the “OSD” video output jacks.
The status information will be shown for 5 seconds. Status information will only be shown on the
front-panel display if it is turned on in status mode or is in video-preview mode and “Superimpose”
has been selected in Display Setup (page 34). This information will also appear on any TV set or pro-
jector connected to the composite or S-Video “OSD” output jacks on the rear panel of the C 1.
•The circular thumbpad on the Master remote changes the C
1 source input in either of two ways. Rocking it to the right or
left makes the C 1 scan up or down through its input choices;
the scan ends when you release the thumbpad. Pressing the
center of the pad starts or stops Autosearch of all source
inputs currently receiving video or digital audio input signals.
• The FAV button on the Master remote, though normally
programmed to help you find your favorite TV or satellite
channels, can also be programmed for other favorite activi-
ties of yours. These can be single commands or complex
macros (series of up to 190 commands) that handle a sequence of events with one push of a
button. A FAV macro might, for example, turn on your video projector and satellite tuner, lower
the screen, select the appropriate C 1 input, close the draperies, and dim your room lights.
• The MENU button, when any C1/C2 page is active, will bring up the Setup menus for the C 1;
their uses will be covered in the next chapter.
Note: The printed buttons on either remote can be programmed for any single function or multi-
step macro. If your remotes have been reprogrammed, some of these descriptions may no
longer apply.
