CABLE/SATELLITE REMOTE CONTROL
The Q Acoustics system has been designed for easy integration into your home entertainment system as it
has the ability to be controlled by many types of PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE CONTROL. This may include the
remote control for your SATELLITE and CABLE system if it has PUNCH THROUGH capability. Punch through
is the common term for being able to programme your remote control to send IR codes to both a TV and an
AV Preamplifier/Processor. To use punch through you normally select the TV you wish to support first, and
then the AV Preamplifier/Processor.
The unit uses the PHILIPS RC5 protocol for AV Preamplifiers/Processors. Programming your remote with
PHILIPS AV codes should allow you to control volume and mute of your unit. In some cases you may also be
able to control standby and source select with buttons such as
Manufacturers often offer several PHILIPS code options for their remote controls. We recommend that you
work through the PHILIPS code list for your remote and experiment with each one until you find one that
works well with the unit. It is easiest to recognise when one is working by pressing the volume up/down
buttons.
We cannot guarantee that the unit will work with your particular remote as the IR codes it sends are outside
our control, however by supporting the commonly used Philips standard we hope to have made it as easy
as possible to gain control of your device with the remote control of your choice.
Below we show how two typical programmable remote controls can be set up.
