MLC input selection button associations (virtual mapping) for an IRCM-DV+

By design an IRCM-DV+ can be assigned paired module addresses (by DIP switch) of either 1&2 or 3&4 only. It cannot

be assigned to addresses 2&3 or 1&4. The odd-numbered module address (1 or 3) is reserved for DVD control, the
even-numbered module address (2 or 4) is for VCR control. The address DIP switches must be set in order for the
MLC to recognize and reserve memory space for the module. Refer to the Control Modules User’s Manual.

To use an optional IRCM-DV+ with an MLC, you’ll need to associate the DVD portion of this module with an MLC

input selection button

, and associate the VCR portion with a different MLC input

selection button

. The appropriate associated MLC button must be selected (pressed) in order

to activate and use the VCR portion or the DVD portion. You cannot activate both parts
(VCR and DVD) at the same time. If you do not associate (map) the IRCM-DV+’s addresses
(1&2 or 3&4) with MLC buttons, you cannot activate and use either the DVD or the VCR part
of the IRCM-DV+.

You cannot assign both the DVD and VCR portions to the same MLC input selection button.
If two IRCM-DV+ modules are connected to the MLC, each addresses (1, 2, 3, 4)
should be assigned to a different MLC button.
