Code-Set Description and Overview

Code-Set Description and Overview

B & K uses discrete code-sets to control any audio/video zones. Code-sets range from code 0-0-0 (zero zero
zero) to 1-2-8. This is the same practice that satellite manufacturers use so that one remote controller could
control three identical satellites. The satellites are set (via switches or on-screen menus) to be either an A, B
or C satellite. When the remote control is set to SAT A, only SAT A responds and so on. In the BK Suite
advanced setup, CT Receiver code-sets are assigned to control each zone. B & K applies this theory to each
of its zones. Once the codes have been assigned, Junior room’s volume may be controlled by kitchen key-
pad. Code-Sets may also be used to control a group of zones (such as upstairs or party modes) or control
the whole house (all zones) using Code-Set 0-0-0.

In a basic default system, all keypads are pre-programmed with Code-Set 1-2-8. The CT Receiver monitors
which one of the six Zone Control terminals the IR command was received from and responds only in that
zone. Thus, as long as each keypad is hard wired to the correct Zone Control terminal, all keypads may be
programmed identically using code 1-2-8. However, the user may be provided with powerful convenience
features by utilizing discrete Code-Sets to enable any keypad to control any zone, any group of zones or the
whole house.

B & K created 128 different sets of the same CT Receiver commands. These commands will also work with
B & K home theater units assigned to the same code set. The primary commands are as follows:

Each code-set differs from the next only in the initial IR code identification or prefix, i.e. 128 - Power On. This
way a CT Receiver zone may be setup to recognize an intended command no matter what Zone Control ter-
minal the command is received from. Thus, any zone may control any other zone (or group of zones) by pro-
gramming a remote control or a keypad with the appropriate set or sets of codes from the following choices:

Code-Set 000 Controls ALL zones simultaneously. (Multi Zone and Home Theater)
Code-Set 001-127 May be utilized for group or independent zone operation. (Discrete)
Code-Set 128 Controls only the zone it is connected to or received from. (Hardware Specific)
Code-Set 999 Controls a set of B & K ALL commands (Multi Zone and Home Theater)
