 <Remote Select Value> are text strings (without blank spaces) that identify the function of
the analogue (0 – 10 VDC) remote control selector connected to a physical “REMOTE” port
in the device.
In the case of the CA40/CA120, there are just two possible string values for this
parameter:
o INPUTS
o PRESETS
And three in the case of the CA200z:
o OFF
o INPUTS
o PRESETS
In the CA40/CA120, a single REMOTE port admits the connection of a WPmVOL‐SR unit,
which has a volume control knob and a 5‐position rotary switch, or selector. The selector
can be used in any of these two modes:
o INPUTS: to select the active audio source(s) (LINE1, LINE2, MICRO (MICL3 for the
CA120), LINE1_AND_MICRO (LINE1_AND_MICL3 for the CA120) or
LINE2_AND_MICRO (LINE2_AND_MICL3 for the CA120))
o PRESETS: to recall any of the 5 presets in the memory of the unit, which store the
full configuration of the unit, including volumes, EQ, etc.
The factory default working mode of the selector is INPUTS, and it can just be modified
to PRESETS by means of an RS‐232 connection.
In the CA200z there are two independent REMOTE ports, each one able to control one of
the device’s outputs when the CA200z has been configured in the ZONES A/B mode. Each
selector can be used in any of these 3 modes:
o INPUTS: to select the active audio LINE source (OFF, LINE1, LINE2, LINE3 or LINE4)
o PRESETS: to recall any of the 5 presets in the memory of the unit, which store the
full configuration of the unit, including volumes, EQ, etc. Just one out of these two
remote ports can be configured to recall presets, not both at the same time
o OFF: REMOTE port disabled.

<Zone> are text strings (without blank spaces) that identify a zone where the command will
operate. In the CA200z there are just two possible values for this parameter:
o ZA (output labeled as ZA or L)
o ZB (output labeled as ZB or R)
When the <Zone> parameter is not specified, the CA200z will understand the command will
operate over ZA.
