Parasound Halo C1 Controller Speaker System User Manual


 
Like the STATUS button on the front panel of the C 1, the STATUS button on the Master remote
and the INFO button on the SideKick can be pressed to show the current main-zone operating sta-
tus (source, audio and video signal types, audio mode, and volume setting) on the C 1 controllers
front-panel display or on any video projector or monitor connected to the OSD video output jacks.
The status information will be shown for 5 seconds. Status information will only be shown on the
front-panel display if it is turned on in status mode or is in video-preview mode and Superimpose
has been selected in Display Setup (page 34). This information will also appear on any TV set or pro-
jector connected to the composite or S-Video OSD output jacks on the rear panel of the C 1.
The circular thumbpad on the Master remote changes the C
1 source input in either of two ways. Rocking it to the right or
left makes the C 1 scan up or down through its input choices;
the scan ends when you release the thumbpad. Pressing the
center of the pad starts or stops Autosearch of all source
inputs currently receiving video or digital audio input signals.
The FAV button on the Master remote, though normally
programmed to help you find your favorite TV or satellite
channels, can also be programmed for other favorite activi-
ties of yours. These can be single commands or complex
macros (series of up to 190 commands) that handle a sequence of events with one push of a
button. A FAV macro might, for example, turn on your video projector and satellite tuner, lower
the screen, select the appropriate C 1 input, close the draperies, and dim your room lights.
The MENU button, when any C1/C2 page is active, will bring up the Setup menus for the C 1;
their uses will be covered in the next chapter.
Note: The printed buttons on either remote can be programmed for any single function or multi-
step macro. If your remotes have been reprogrammed, some of these descriptions may no
longer apply.
