The 840W features a Control Bus input/output
that allow un-modulated remote control
commands (positive logic, TTL level) to be received
electrically by the unit and looped to another unit
if desired. These control commands are typically
generated by custom installation (multi-room) systems or remote IR
receiver systems. The Control Bus sockets are colour-coded orange.
An IR Emitter Input is also provided that allows modulated IR remote
control commands to be received electrically by the unit. Commands on
this input operate the unit only and are not looped out demodulated on
the Control Bus Output.
The unit responds to ‘direct’ IR/Control codes as well as toggle codes for
some features to simplify programming custom installation systems.
Special direct On/Off and Mute commands can be accessed from the
840E pre-amplifier remote control for teaching into C.I. systems as
follows:
1. Press and hold the Standby/On button. The remote first generates a
standby (toggle) command. Keep the button held down, after 12
seconds an amplifier “On” command will be generated. If the button
is kept held down for a further 12 seconds, an amplifier player “Off”
command is generated.
2. Press and hold the Mute button. The remote first generates a mute
(toggle) command. Keep the button held down, after 12 seconds a
“Mute on” command will be generated. If the button is kept held
down for a further 12 seconds, a “Mute off” command is generated.
These commands are recognised by the 840W via the IR Emitter input.
