Niles Audio A4.6Ci - Manual (Page 62)

PROGRAMMING A LEARNING REMOTE FOR ZONE OPERATION USING THE NILES R-4 REMOTE
Learning remote controls can be taught the IR commands of the hand-held Niles R-4 Remote to provide indi-
vidual zone operation. These IR commands operate the A4.6Ci and its associated source components from any
zone equipped with an IR sensor.
Important Note: IR sensors cannot operate a
zone when used alone. They must be installed
and connected to a Solo
™ or Select ™ Master
Keypad Module.
The commands you will teach from the Niles R-4
Remote to the learning remote are stored in the
following buttons:
Source Buttons: Tuner, 2, 3, and 4. These acti-
vate the system, turn the zones on, and select the
desired source. The Tuner button is equivalent to
Master Key #1.
Function Buttons to issue the IR commands for
each of the individual source components.
Volume and Mute buttons to control the volume
in a zone.
The OFF Button to turn off the zones.
To teach these commands, set the learning
remote that you will use in the zone, to the
learning mode, choose the appropriate key on
the learning remote, and then issue the appro-
priate command from the Niles R-4 Remote.
Repeat these steps for the remaining commands
you wish to use.
To test the commands, set the Niles remote aside,
and try the commands on your learning remote. If
they were captured correctly, you will be operating
the system and all the source components identi-
cally to the Niles R-4 Remote.

PROGRAMMING A HOME THEATER REMOTE TO OPERATE SOURCE COMPONENTS SHARED WITH
AN A4.6Ci.
A learning remote control operating a Home Theater system can be programmed to operate source compo-
nents shared with the A4.6Ci (refer to System Configurations #2 and #3).
The learning remote control may be programmed with the source component's factory IR commands using
the A4.6Ci's IR repeating feature (see Method #1), or with the Niles commands (see Methods #2 & #3).
