look to that memory address location on the “Default” page of memory to see if a
“Function Key IR” command (or a “Function Key Sequence”) is stored there. If there is
information programmed to that particular address on the “Default” page, the IntelliControl
will issue whatever code (or sequence of codes) is stored there.
Therefore, the “Default” page is the memory location for IR commands which are universal
to all of the components in the Home Theater system. An example of this would be the
Preamp/receiver’s “Volume Up and Down”, and “Mute” commands. You simply do not
program any IR commands to the “Volume Up/Down” and “Mute” Keys on the ten source
pages, and let the IntelliControl issue the commands stored to those locations on the
“Default” page.
If the user constantly adjusts picture or surround-sound, you could choose to assign the
“Menu” group of keys as a universal feature, so that no matter what Master Key is
currently selected, the “Menu” keys will access the customer’s desired functions.
Purpose of the Library Pages
There are two additional pages of memory addresses called “Library 1” and “Library 2”.
The “Library” pages are only used to store codes which will be included in sequences.
Codes taught to the Library pages are not directly accessible by the end-user (unless they
are included in a sequence, of course!).
3B. Function Key Memory Limitations
The IntelliControl has thirteen pages in total, with 32 Function Keys giving you 416 total
possible Function Key addresses including the “Default” and “Library” pages. Of those 416
addresses, only 320 addresses are accessible for manual operation by the end-user.
The IntelliControl ships with a 1 Megabit chip for IR code storage for the Function Keys,
and has an empty socket for a second 1 Megabit chip. You can order an additional
memory chip for especially large and complex systems (FG00735). Depending on the
brands you are using, the built in memory will enable you to learn between 284 and 475 IR
codes.
Note: Typically, since many address locations go unused, less than 200 IR codes are
taught to Function Key addresses and the additional chip is not needed. The configuration
memory used for the Master Keys is completely separate and cannot be exhausted.
The following is a list of the estimated maximum number of IR codes that can be stored in
one memory chip if all of the codes are from one of the following brands:
Denon 378
Harman/Kardon 475
Lexicon 378
Marantz 475
Mitsubishi 284
NEC 378
(More than 50% of all Audio/Video
remote controls use NEC codes)
Onkyo 369
Pioneer 378
