Madrigal Audio Proceed Manual - Remote Control of The Dap

Remote Control of the DAP
The DAP includes both an infrared receiver and an infrared transmitter. With
this capability, it can “teach” a learning remote control such as those provided
with Proceed preamplifiers any commands that might be needed for remote
operation. These include input selection, volume control, mode, polarity, etc.
Specifically, the DAP can send all of the necessary IR commands from its
main
display
window, enabling you to teach a learning remote any or all of its pre-
programmed commands, as well as some optional special commands that are
available to solve specific installation-related problems.
The DAP has two special modes of operation into which is may be placed in
order to facilitate the “teaching” of remote control commands to a learning re-
mote control. The first allows you to easily teach the commands for which
there are corresponding front panel buttons. The second allows you to teach
“special” commands to the remote control for which there are no correspond-
ing front panel buttons.
Teaching DAP Front
Panel Commands
1
PRESS AND HOLD THE MODE BUTTON UNTIL “L 00” APPEARS IN THE
DISPLAY
A momentary press of the
mode
button will, of course, simply toggle the
DAP’s up/down buttons between input selection and volume control
modes. When you “camp on” the
mode
button instead, the DAP will
wait for a few seconds to make sure that your press-and-hold action is
quite deliberate, and then enter a teaching mode which allows you to
program a learning remote control with infrared (IR) commands. The
DAP’s
main display
will show the letter “L” (for “Learn”) and a two-digit
number when in this mode.
The DAP will display a “L 00” code when it has entered its teaching
mode and is ready to help the remote control learn the commands that
correspond to the DAP’s front panel buttons. If no further buttons are
pressed within approximately ten seconds, the DAP will “time out” and
return to normal operation.

PRESS ANY FRONT PANEL BUTTON TO CAUSE THE DAP TO SEND THE
CORRESPONDING IR COMMAND
Line up the IR window of your remote control with the left side of the
main display
of the DAP, at a distance of approximately 6"-12". Select the
to-be-learned button on the remote, then press the corresponding button
on the DAP to fire the appropriate IR code. (Tip: most learning remotes
need to be held fairly still while they learn new IR commands; movement
can garble the received IR.)
