PROGRAMMING SOURCE CONTROL
The MODE Keypads can be programmed to control any of the sources connected to a MZC 64/66/88 System by using
either the Hard Keys or Virtual Buttons. Programming is consistent with standard EZ-Tools procedures. Hard Key programming
should be for the most commonly used commands, Play, Skip, Channel Up/Down, etc. Virtual Buttons can be programmed
for control of any source function for which an IR or RS232 command is available in the Command Library. For example, if
programming control of a DVD player, the various menu options for anything from aspect ratio to zoom can be setup as a
Virtual Button.
Since the process is essentially the same for all sources, a general example using a DVD Changer will be used. Use the fol-
lowing instructions for other sources, by programming appropriate commands by source.
NOTE: When used with a MZC-88, MODE shows its powerful simplicity. The Preset channel frequencies and control com-
mands for the MZC-88 Internal Tuners are automatically displayed on the MODE LCD. This is a default function of the MZC-88
and MODE Keypad. No programming is necessary for control of the MZC-88 Internal Tuners when controlled with MODE.
PROGRAMMING HARD KEYS
1. If not already open, left click the CMD Library Tab. From the Brands Pull-Down either left click the pull-down arrow and
scroll the list for the DVD Player Brand being used or left click the Brands Box and type in the name of the DVD Player
Brand. Expand the DVD Tab by left clicking the ‘+’ sign or double left clicking the DVD Icon. In some cases, a sub-direc-
tory of DVD commands will appear. Some manufacturers have multiple code groups for certain devices. A bit of trial
and error may be necessary to determine which code group is correct. Typically, testing commands such as power,
play and stop will indicate the proper code group. Sometimes a visual inspection of the list can be helpful to see if cer-
tain special commands are available in one list or another. If any commands are not available, they can be learned
into EZ-Tools. If it is necessary to learn commands, refer to MZC Installation Instructions section: Learning IR Commands.
2. Left click the DVD Source Icon on the Virtual Keypad to select DVD. It will highlight.
3. Left click the Arrow Up Button. Under CMD Library, double left click the Next Disc Command. (Program for next disc if
using a DVD Changer otherwise select another function such as Fast Forward or other appropriate command.)
4. Left Click the Arrow Down Button. Under CMD Library, double left click Previous Disc. (Program for previous disc if using
a DVD Changer otherwise select another function such as Reverse Play or other appropriate command.)
5. Left click the Previous Track Button. Under CMD Library, double left click Chapter/Skip Down.
6. Left click the Next Track Button. Under CMD Library, double left click Chapter/Skip Up.
7. Left click the Play/Pause Button. Under CMD Library, double left click Play or Play/Pause depending upon code avail-
ability.
This programing will provide basic transport control using the Hard Keys. To program additional commands, Virtual Buttons
can be added as needed.
PROGRAMMING VIRTUAL BUTTONS
NOTE: The default functionality of MODE when used with iPod, replicates the genius of the iPod Menu system on the MODE
LCD. Therefore, no Virtual Buttons can be confi gured for use with iPod.
8. With DVD selected on the Virtual Keypad, right click inside the Virtual Button List Window.
9. If only adding one Virtual Button, highlight and left click Add New Menu Item. In the New Item Window, type in the func-
tion and left click OK. Skip to Step 11.
