COMPONENT COMPATIBILITY
Infrared Command Compatibility
To determine the compatibility of various equipment brands with the ZR-8630AV, Niles engineers conducted IR
control tests on typical A/V source components (i.e., CD, DVD, DSS, cable boxes, etc.) from each brand. All
brands listed below passed the test.
Important Note: Use this list only as a starting point. All components for every brand listed were not available
at the time of testing. To avoid unforeseen incompatibilities, Niles recommends always testing components you
have not yet used with a ZR-8630AV before specifying them in your installation.
Testing for a Possible IR Command Conflict
When using a Niles IRC-1P FloodFlasher,
™
in rare instances the same IR command will operate more than one
source component. This prevents the proper operation of another IR-controlled component when the two are
installed in the same system because pressing a single remote button causes both components to respond.
Although this situation is rare, you should test first to see how components interact when you work with unfa-
miliar equipment or two products that you have never combined in the same system.
To test for such a conflict, take all the remotes in the system (following the example above with six components,
you would need to test all six remotes) and issue every command you intend to program in the keypads. Expose
all components to each command, and ensure that only the appropriate component responds.
Solving the IR Command Conflict if Present
Remember that conflicts of this nature are rare. However, if you find yourself in this situation, contact the man-
ufacturer to ask if they are aware of the problem and if they have a solution. Perhaps they now have a differ-
ent remote or a chip upgrade for the product.
If the manufacturer does not have a solution, try to resolve the problem by using a Niles IRC-2P MicroFlasher
™
instead of IRC-1P FloodFlasher.
™
In cases where neither solution works, advise the client of the situation and
explain that you need to substitute another component.
