3.0 CONFIGURING THE IR REMOTE CONTROL Following the instructions for your model of universal remote, add the codes for the C-1071A or BlueBeam to the remote from your remote manufacturer’s database (for Harmony remotes this is GAME CONSOLE > GAME CONSOLE (WITH DVD). If these cannot be found, you can use the PS2 codes (custom macro commands will be deleted) or download the codes in raw hex or ccf format from www.audioauthority.com/page/software. 3.1 PAIRING THE BLUEBEAM WITH THE PS3 • Turn off the BlueBeam by removing the batteries and disconnecting the power supply and/or USB cable. • Turn on the PS3 system and use the PS3 controller to select the following option: SETTINGS > ACCESSORY SETTINGS > REGISTER BD REMOTE. • Set the BlueBeam within 30 feet of the PS3 and power on the BlueBeam (insert batteries, connect power supply, or USB connection to power). By default the BlueBeam automatically pairs with the PS3 at this point. If you have changed Pairing to “manual” in the configuration software, follow the directions below. • When power is applied, the red LED starts flashing to indicate that the BlueBeam is ready to be paired with the PS3. Make sure the BlueBeam is the actively selected device on the Harmony IR remote control. Press and hold the “2” button on the remote (do this within 20 seconds of BlueBeam power on). Hold the 2 button down until the PS3 changes screen to REGISTERING. • The BlueBeam is now paired with the PS3 and ready to convert IR signals to Bluetooth. 4.0 USING AN EXTERNAL INFRARED RECEIVER Connect the emitter output of any standard IR receiver connecting block to the IR input on the rear of the BlueBeam using a mono 3.5mm cable. By default the BlueBeam is configured to auto-sense the type of IR receiver connected. Use the configuration software to manually select the IR receiver type. -

Page 6: Troubleshooting Guide
6.0 TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE BlueBeam will not pair with my PS3 The BlueBeam must be within 30 feet of the PS3 for operation. Make sure all power supplies are completely removed (DC adapter, USB and batteries inside the BlueBeam case) before trying to pair the BlueBeam and PS3. Also make sure that the PS3 screen says “Press START+ENTER to begin pairing”. When all power sources are removed, the BlueBeam should automatically pair after connecting either the DC adapter, USB or batteries. If this doesn’t work, try setting pairing mode to manual in configuration software and follow directions below. When all power sources are removed the BlueBeam should start flashing for 20 seconds when connecting either: DC adapter, USB, or batteries. Within 20 seconds (while the LED flashes) press and hold the ‘2’ button on the remote. (Note: your remote should be programmed to “sustain” or “repeat” the 2 command as long as the button is held down.) The LED on the BlueBeam should be on or flashing rapidly until the PS3 says “Registering”. If you let go of the ‘2’ button before the PS3 has registered the BlueBeam, you must start from the beginning by removing power from the BlueBeam. If the above does not work try the following: • Change the remote control batteries. • Power the BlueBeam directly from a DC adapter or USB. • Make sure the BlueBeam device is selected as the active device in the Universal Remote Control. • Hold the remote control in front of the IR window of the BlueBeam with approximate three inches distance while holding the ‘2’ button. • Configure the remote to “repeat” or “sustain” a command when the button is held down. BlueBeam conflicts with my existing Sony DVD player If you have an existing Sony DVD player that conflicts with the default BlueBeam IR device code, the BlueBeam can be configured to respond to another IR device code. In order to do this, connect the BlueBeam to a PC using a USB cable with a mini-USB connector. Open the BlueBeam software and select the “IR device code” tab, change the device code from “DVD1a” to “DVD2a” (or other) in the selection box and press “Save”. In the Harmony Remote software, add a new device with the model name “BLUEBEAM DVD2a” to allow control of a BlueBeam with the IR device code DVD2a. -
