Placing Commands on Source Outputs For System ON
5. Other commands could also be placed here such as channel numbers to tune the SAT or a tuner to a specific channel every
time it turns ON.
6. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 for each Source as required.
NOTE: If preferable, place Power ON commands under each Source key of the keypad rather than under Events as just
illustrated. Programming under the Source keys would turn Source components ON only as needed rather than all at once
(saving power, for example, if only the tuner is played all day, and will assure that components that turn off after a certain
amount of time of inactivity, will be activated when selected).
SYSTEM TURNING OFF (LAST ZONE OFF)
In a similar manner, all Source IR Outputs can be programmed to execute OFF or other related commands when the last Zone
is turned OFF. This would occur when a designated Zone
PWR button is pressed on the keypad of the last Zone to go OFF, or
is pressed and held for more than 2 seconds even when other Zones are still ON (Whole House OFF).
1. To access, click EVENTS SETUP under the Project Content tab.
2. Double click System Turning OFF (Last Zone OFF) in the Events Setup pop-up. A list of Source Outputs 1 through 8
appears.
Commands placed here will be sent from the Source IR OUT jacks on the MZC-88 to turn OFF or otherwise control the
respective Source(s) when the system is turned OFF (Last Zone OFF or Whole House OFF).
3. For instance, a Power OFF command for each Source could be placed here. As an example, click Source Output 3. (The
Internal Tuners do not require power management, so for this example Sources 1 and 2 will be skipped.)
4. Double click an IR command from the CMD Library for a typical source, such as Power OFF for the SAT receiver, placing
it in the Command List. Refer to Figure 76.
