Extron Electronics MLC 206 AAP EC User Guide - Manual (Page 47)

4-15 MediaLink Controllers • Serial Communication
During IR learning hold the device’s remote control 4” to 14” (10 cm to 36 cm)
away from and directly in front of the MLC’s IR pickup device. You may
need to experiment to determine the best IR learning distance for each remote
control.
Once the IR
commands have been
successfully learned,
you will have the
opportunity to accept
a default label or type
in your own label
(which will appear in
the control program
screens) for that
button.

Associating IRCM-DV+ modules with MLC inputs
If an optional IRCM-DV+ control module is to be used with the MLC, you must
associate each half (DVD and VCR) of the module with a different MLC input
selection button. That way the MLC knows which half of the module to activate
when the appropriate MLC input button is pressed. MLC button association also
tells the IRCM-DV+ whether to send DVD commands or VCR commands, allowing
you to activate and use the IRCM-DV+ from the front panel buttons in addition to
RS-232 control.
When an IRCM-DV+ is connected to the MLC, two
pictures of the module appear on the right side of
the Controller (MLC) Config screen, as shown at
right. The upper picture represents the DVD half,
the lower one represents the VCR half.
A simplified representation
of the MLC’s input selection
buttons appears at the top
of the picture of each half of
the module. Associate an
MLC input button with
each half of the IRCM-DV+ by doing the following:
1. In the picture of the DVD half of the
IRCM-DV+, select (click on) a miniaturized
MLC button to associate the DVD controls
with.
2. In the picture of the VCR half of the IRCM-DV+, select (click on) a different
miniaturized MLC button.
You cannot select the same MLC input selection button for both halves of the
IRCM-DV+.
3. Perform IR learning for the buttons in each half of the control module, if
needed.
