Using the Nº383 with
Learning Remote Controls
using the teach ir menu The teach ir menu within the setup menu lists all of the custom infra-
red commands available for the various functions of the Nº383 Inte-
grated Amplifier.
In every case where a “toggle” command exists, both the normal toggle
function and positive control commands for the multiple states are
provided. Thus, the mute key functions as a toggle between mute and
unmute; but we also provide go mute and go unmute, since these
positive controls increase the reliability of macros in learning remote
controls, such as Madrigal’s own IRIQ.
To access these commands,
1 press setup once to enter the setup menu
2 turn the select knob until “Teach IR” is displayed
3 press enter once to toggle into the edit mode (where you
can choose which “teach ir” command you want
4 move the volume knob to select the command you want to
learn
5 press enter to transmit that command from the left side of
the display window
The display window will change to <– –SENDING to indicate
where the infrared codes are being emitted.
technical note: The frequency of the infrared carrier upon which the
command are transmitted is 40kHz. This is the most
common carrier frequency of any used in remote
controls today, and should present no problem for any
learning remote control.
If your remote has difficulty learning the command
from the front panel of the Nº383 Integrated Amplifier,
try varying the distance, and shielding the remote
control from any fluorescent lights in the area (which
can interfere with the learning process).
