T AGtronic Communications Bus
The DVD32FLR features the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This allows TAG
McLaren Audio products to exchange information and work seamlessly together to form an
effective, fully integrated system. The DVD32FLR
(1) offers at present four configurable features:
• relay remote commands
• synchronise display brightness
• show AV32R status
• send standby commands to products connected to the Bus
TAGtronic Communications Bus
If your video device is directly connected to
your DVD32FLR (or routed through the AV32R
without using the output + on-screen display)
the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus
can be used to convey on-screen information
from the AV32R to the DVD32FLR. When this
feature is enabled
(1) , on-screen information
from the AV32R is overlaid onto the video
signal in the DVD32FLR. The AV32R transmits
status messages (press ok with the AV remote
control), volume and surround information.
It does not send the setup screens of the
AV32R.
1. This requires DVD32FLR software v3.6 or higher, AV32R software v3.6 or higher and 100x5R/250x3R v3.5 or higher
The DVD32FLR can be configured to relay
standby commands onto the TAGtronic Bus.
This provides a means of putting all
products into standby using a single press
of standby. Similarly, all products can be
brought out of standby using the same key.
If the DVD32FLR is configured for auto-
standby
(2) , then this too will cause a
standby command to be relayed on to the
bus.
1. This requires AV32R software version 3.6 or higher
2. Auto-standby puts the DVD32FLR into standby if it ‘idles’ for a user selectable time. See ‘first time setup’ in the DVD32FLR setup menu
for details (on-screen)
relay standby commands
relay remote commands
Your DVD32FLR has the capability to relay remote control commands received by its IR
receiver onto the Enhanced TAGtronic Communications Bus. This is ideal when some of your
equipment is in a location that does not permit direct line of sight from the Remote and also
opens up the possibility of multi-room control.
synchronised display brightness
Rather than having to individually control the display brightness of each piece of your TAG
McLaren Audio system, it is possible to synchronise their brightness to match the display on
your DVD32FLR. This not only gives single point control of display brightness, but also allows
display appearance to be consistent across all products.
