Cable / Satellite Remote Control - Q Acoustics Media 3 Owner's Manual

9. 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 program 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.
