zone (i.e. lower the volume in the
Kids
zone while sitting in the Master Bedroom). A list of the available
commands appears in
Table 2
on the next page.
NOTE:
THESE COMMANDS ARE ALREADY PROGRAMMED INTO THE MRC88 AT THE FACTORY. They
are made available for use in special programming such as having a particular zone default to a particular
source when that zone is turned ON. Though RC68+ commands can be used to control the MRC88 via remote
control, RC68+ commands
will not
be recognized by the MRC88 Controller’s microprocessor if generated by a
MRC88 Keypad. An RC68+ command generated by a keypad will pass directly through to the emitter outputs.
To control the MRC88 from a keypad, it is necessary to use these special internal amplifier commands.
