Changing the
PAV’s IR Address
In some installations, you may discover that some other company is trying to
use the same infrared control codes used by the PAV, or vice versa. (This un-
fortunate circumstance has become more common in recent years thanks to
the explosion of IR-controlled products in the home.) Fortunately, the PAV al-
lows you to use any of eight different sets of IR codes, which are accessed by
changing the “IR address” used by the PAV.
Important! If you change the IR address of your PAV, your remote
control will no longer operate the PAV until it is re-taught all
of the new codes! Do not change this setting from its default
value of 5 unless you must, in order to solve a conflict.
If you run into an apparent IR conflict where pushing one button on a remote
control affects something seemingly unrelated, we suggest that you contact your
dealer/installer for assistance. (The numbers 0 through 7 refer to Philips RECS80
addresses, a bit of engineering trivia your installer may need if your system is
already using several of the available addresses, including the one we normally
use in the PAV: 5.)
Configuring the
Remote Trigger output
The remote trigger output on the rear panel of the PAV is normally used to auto-
matically turn the associated Proceed AMPs on and off with the PAV. This is par-
ticularly convenient when the amplifiers are located at some distance from the
PAV, as may be the case when they are placed near the speakers (for example). In
this application, you can simply leave it in its default setting,
pulse .
If you need to turn on and off a power amplifier that does not include remote
turn-on capabilities, the simplest solution is to use a product like the Niles IPC-6,
which is an intelligent AC-outlet strip that can turn AC power on and off to a set
of components based on the presence or absence of a level control voltage.
Caution! If you use the remote trigger output of your PAV with non-
Madrigal products, it is important that those products provide
current-limiting and ground isolation for this output. This
isolation may be accomplished with opto-couplers or with
low-voltage relays. Please consult with your installer prior to
using the remote trigger output with products other than those
designed by Madrigal.
Note that the remote trigger output of the PAV can support approximately 5 volts
at 30 mA current.
Having completed the calibration of your PAV system, you may also wish to con-
sider locking your settings to minimize the likelihood of someone inadvertantly
changing your setup. This menu item can be found under the
operate menu ,
which is found at the main PAV menu . (See page 51 for more information.)
