Features and Benefits

Power Status Display and Synchronization
The Status Feedback feature eliminates the
guesswork common with other IR control sys-
tems. The power LED indicates the On/Off con-
dition of the system's preamp/receiver. Built-in
intelligence tracks this (On/Off condition of the
preamp/receiver) so the IntelliPad knows when
it's appropriate to issue the power command.
The system maintains perfect synchronization
between the amplifier and the user.
One-Button Macros With Power
Synchronization
Located on the left hand side of the keypad are
six Source Select keys, each with its own corre-
sponding backlit label. When you press a Source
Select key, a synchronized sequence of IR com-
mands is initiated. It's synchronized, because the
internal microprocessor first checks if the pre-
amp/receiver is on or off. The keypad only issues
the "power" command if the preamp/receiver is
off. After it has verified that the preamp/receiver
is on, it proceeds with the necessary commands
to select the correct input, type of surround
sound or equalization, and the play or favorite
station command for the source component.

Speaker Relay
The IntelliPad incorporates a unique speaker
muting function with status display. When you
press the Mute key the local speakers turn off and
the status LED turns from green to red (green
means the speakers are on, red means the speak-
ers are off). In a multi-room system, when a user
in one of the rooms turns on the system, only
that room's speakers turn on. All other rooms dis-
play that the system is on, but muted locally. In
another room, you simply press the "Mute" but-
ton to turn on the local speakers.
Multiple "Pages" of Function Control Keys
Once you have pressed one of the six Source
Select keys (CD, tuner, tape etc), the Function
Control keys, located on the right-hand side of
the keypad, operate the selected source (play,
stop, pause, next station, seek, etc). When
another Source Select key is pressed, the right
hand keys operate the newly selected source.
With this system of multiple "pages" of IR com-
mands just a few, ergonomically shaped but-
tons will issue the dozens of infrared commands
needed in a typical audio/video system.
