You will find they will not only help you plan in advance which keypad key performs a
function,but will assist in the event that codes need to be re-learned or changed,and reduce
the time needed to program/reprogram the device.As well,should any of the audio devices be
changed or upgraded in the future,you will know what the configuration looked like for the
original device,so they keypad can be programmed in a similar configuration.Consistency in
keypad programming across all devices,and clear documentation will reduce frustration and
shorten the operational learning curve for your client.
Tip: New equipment is rarely shipped with batteries installed in the remote.
Be sure you’re sources remote is functioning properly before continuing to
program the MRC- 8e/ 8.4e.
Tip:You should take some time to familiarize yourself with the basic operation
of the audio devices remote control to better understand the operating charac-
teristics of the device and which functions you wish to program into the MRC-
8e/ 8.4e.If you can operate and manage the audio device as a standalone unit,
it will aid you in determining which functions you want to program into the
MRC- 8e/ 8.4e.
Technique Tip: Programming is an interactive exercise between you,the MRC-
8e/ 8.4e and the audio sources remote control,and results may vary from unit to
unit.You will learn the techniques to best train the MRC- 8e/ 8.4e through some
trial and error and observation.You may need to modify your programming
technique on a remote-by- remote basis.Some remotes may need to be closer
to,or further away from the receiver,some may program better with quick key
presses,and some with long key presses,some may require a change in angle
between the remote and the MRC- 8e/ 8.4e.
If a particular method doesn’t seem to be working for you,try to modify your
approach to understand the characteristic behaviour of the donor device.
