Niles RVL-6 Installation & Operation Manual page 20

Option 1: Programming a sequence consisting of ten RVL-6 VOLUME DOWN commands triggered from the
Mute key on the System page of memory.
• The IntelliPad automatically lowers its individual room's volume while still allowing the user to change
sources or utilize other keypad functions. Keep in mind that this is not a toggle-type function, volume
can only be restored in the room by pressing and holding the Volume Up key until reaching the desired
volume.
Option 2: Teaching the individual ROOM ON/OFF command to the Mute key on the System page of memory.
• This option gives the user the ability to deactivate the individual room from either the IntelliPad's Power
key or the Mute key. Please note that this is not a true mute function. If the chosen room is the only
room common to the RVL-6 that is active when this MUTE command is issued, the entire system will
be powered off via the AC-3 as explained above.
Teaching the IR commands of the RVL-6 to an IntelliPad
1. The ROOM ON/OFF command of the RVL-6 is taught to the IntelliPad's Power key on the System page
of memory.
2. The VOLUME UP and the VOLUME DOWN commands of the RVL-6 are taught to the IntelliPad's
Volume Up and Volume Down keys on the system page of memory.
3. The ALL OFF command of the RVL-6 is taught to the IntelliPad's Power key on the Press and Hold page
of memory (this enables the user to turn all rooms off by pressing and holding the power button for more
than one second).
4. The ALL ON command of the RVL-6 is taught to an unused Source Key on the IntelliPad that has been
labeled All On (the labels included with the IntelliPad have All On as one of the preprinted choices).
• Programming instructions for the IntelliPad are located on Page 18 of the IntelliPad Installation and
Operation Guide.
Teaching Learning Remotes and IntelliPads the RVL-6 IR Commands
All IR commands required to control the RVL-6 can be taught to a learning remote control via the the RVL-6's
teaching IR flasher. This integrates control of your source components with control of your RVL-6.
• Press and hold the Room 6 SELECT button.
• As you hold it down, press the Room 1 SELECT button.
• Release both buttons. All the SELECT LEDs flash in a scrolling pattern indicating that your are in teaching mode.
• Put the learning remote in learning mode and select the button on the remote you wish to teach (follow the
manufacturer's instructions).
• Place the IR sensor on the learning remote one inch from the teaching IR flasher on the front panel of
the RVL-6 (see Figure 25).
• Press the front panel button corresponding to the command
(ON/OFF, VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN, ALL ON, and
ALL OFF) you want to teach.
• Repeat the previous three steps for all of the RVL-6 commands
you wish to teach.
• Upon completion, exit programming mode and return to nor-
mal operating mode by pressing ROOM 6 SELECT button.
All the SELECT LEDs go back to their previous state.
