If a Systemline VM8 Video Switch unit is included in the system, then composite video signals can be routed to each zone along with the audio. A special RS232 control port enables a Kramer Electronics VP-88ETH (or another of that family) to be controlled providing HDTV component video signals routing. Two outputs for infrared window emitters are included which carry ‘global’ IR, that is, as summation of all IR signals coming from the zones The line-level audio outputs, via phono connectors, require a suitable multi- channel power amplifier to be provided. All software in the Systemline S6 Controller can be updated via connectors on the front panel. PAGE...

4.4 Getting Out of T rouble Both the Contrast and T ouch Screen Calibration settings potentially allow the keypad to be configured into a state where it can no longer be used e.g. the Configuration Screen is itself rendered unusable by a badly configured setting. For example, the contrast can be set such that the screen is unreadable and therefore finding the controls to set it back again is difficult. Likewise, the T ouch Screen Calibration can be set such that the buttons can no longer be pressed, making the Configuration Screen impossible to operate. In the event that the Configuration Screen can no longer be operated due to an incorrect setting, pressing the ‘MUTE’ button whilst on the Configuration Screen will restore factory defaults which should allow correct operation again.
