IR Enable / Disable This menu item allows you to set whether the IR information received at the VSC is sent to the Hi-Fi processor. By default IR is enabled, thus allowing the VSC to route the information to the Hi-Fi processor whenever an IR signal is received. -
Page 12: Ir Receive
IR Receive When an IR signal is received by the VSC, it is sent directly to the Hi-Fi processor. Upon receiving the IR data, the Hi-Fi processor will decode it and process certain commands locally and route all IR data to connected source equipment. -
Page 13: Ir Passthrough
IR Passthrough When IR Passthrough is enabled, IR data can also be routed to the connected source equipment. After decoding the received IR, the Hi-Fi processor will then route the IR signal to the source which is logically connected to that VSC. IR Output Each RIM ships with an IR flasher (62A08-1). -
