SYSTEM CONFIGURATION 1
SINGLE TV WITH A COMBINATION OF IR AND RS232 CONTROLLABLE SOURCES
In System Configuration #1 ( Figure 2), a Niles IR sensor must be connected to the IR sensor in-
put and a learning IR remote (programmed with the HT-MSU codes) is used to activate the HT-MSU.
In this configuration, a flat panel TV is controlled via the RS232 connection TV/7 on the HT-MSU.
A motorized lift to raise and lower the TV is being activated with the programmable Relay #1. The
surround receiver is being controlled via IR flasher connected to the RCV/8 connection on the
HT-MSU. The surround receiver’s power status is being monitored by a Niles 12V DC power supply
plugged into the receiver’s switched AC outlet and then plugged into RCV/8 Status 12V connection
on the HT-MSU. In addition to the TV and receiver, there are five sources. The DSS Satellite receiver
is being controlled via IR from the IR SRC1 port. There is no status connection to the HT-MSU be-
cause it has separate On/Off codes. The Media Server is being controlled via the RS232 SRC2 port.
The DVD player is being controlled via the IR SRC3 port, and a CS12V Current Sensor connected
to the SRC3 Status RCA jack is providing the status. IR connected to the IR SRC4 is controlling the
portable Music Player in its dock, and video is providing the status connected to the SRC4 Status
RCA jack. IR connected to the IR SRC5 port is controlling a latching power CD player and, using the
12V Output # 1, triggering a Niles AC-3 to power it On and Off.
