Wiring an MLC 52 VC controller and an MPA series power amplifier to a
typical projector

Audio is now controlled from the MPA instead of from the projector. For best
results, ensure that the audio volume of the projector is set to maximum
(assuming that the monitor output for audio is variable).

Configuring the MLC 52 IR and MLC 52 RS Vol buttons

By default, the MLC 52 has two buttons on the front panel programmed for volume
control (Vol

>

and Vol

<

). However, on the MLC 52 IR and RS VC models, these

buttons are not needed for volume control and can be programmed for other uses.
To reprogram the Vol buttons, you can use IR learning (see “Configuring using IR
learning,” earlier in this chapter,) or the Windows-based configuration software
(see chapter 5, “Serial Communication”).

Powering the Display Device On and Off

The Display On and Off buttons on the MLC 52 front panel are used to turn the
projector or other display on and off.

Powering on

Press and release the MLC 52’s On button to turn the display device’s power on.
The MLC sends an RS-232 or IR power-on command to the projector, and the On
button blinks for 4 seconds, then remains steadily lit.
