Configuring a single button for input source selection
If you want to use only one button to select your input sources, you must program
the button with one command for each source (up to four). Only one button has to
learn IR commands; and it has enough memory blocks to learn four input selection
commands. To use this programmed button to select an input, you must press it
repeatedly to cycle through all the inputs until you reach the desired one.
To program a single button to select multiple inputs,
1 . Disconnect power from the MLC 52.
2 . To make the one programmed button easily recognizeable, r eplace all but one
of the input (Video, PC, DVD, and/or VCR) button labels with the provided
Not Used label, or remove the input label(s) and leave the button(s) blank.
3 . Apply power to the MLC.
4 . Set configuration switch #1 to On (up). The front panel buttons light dimly.
5 . Press the MLC button that will store the input selection IR codes. The button
blinks for 5 seconds, during which time it is able to learn codes. On the rear
panel, the first (bottom) IR learning LED starts flashing.) (If a command is not
entered within 5 seconds, the button and LED stop blinking, and you must
press the button again to put it in back in learn mode.)
6 . Within 5 seconds, press the display device remote control button from which
the MLC button will learn the first input selection command. If the command
has been learned successfully, the Learning LEDs on the rear panel blink in
rapid progression from the top LED to the bottom, then back to the top.
7 . To program a second input selection command on the same button, press the
button again. The button and the second rear panel IR learning LED begin to
blink. On your display device’s remote control, press the next button whose
function you want the MLC button to learn.
8 . Repeat the procedure described in steps 5 and 6 for additional commands you
want to add to the button you are programming. Each MLC button can be
programmed with up to four commands.
9 . When finished programming the input selection button, set rear panel DIP
switch #1 to Off (down). Verify that the button has been programmed
correctly by pressing it repeatedly to cycle through the inputs.
