LED Display Dimming

The ADV2.1 provides the option of adjusting the LED brightness to best suit the

viewing environment. There are 10 different dimmer settings available with setting

0 being the brightest and most intense and setting 9 being the dimmest and least

intense. When a dimming level is selected, the green LED on the front panel will

reflect the chosen level immediately and that setting will be saved in the ADV2.1

until it is changed.The LED display brightness can be adjusted through the RS-232

communication port or by using the remote control in conjunction with the input

selector button on the front panel.

Using the Remote Control and the Input Selector Button

- While pressing the input selector button on the front panel, point the

remote control toward the unit and press the

intensity of the LED display, or the – key to decrease the intensity of the

LED display.

- (Note: Be sure to press either the + or – key on the remote

within 5 seconds of pressing the input selector button to avoid

entering the Alternate Remote Programming Mode. See page

11-13 for details)

- Once the + or - key has been pressed at least once, the unit will stay in

the Display Intensity Adjustment Mode until the Selector Button is

released

- As the + or – keys are pressed on the remote, the display brightness

will adjust accordingly as a preview of the new setting

- When the desired intensity setting has been found, release the input

selector button to return to normal operating mode

Using the RS-232 Communication Port

- Through the RS-232 communication port, the user can select a dimmer

setting by entering the following command code followed by the

intensity value.

Using an Alternate Remote

The ADV2.1 comes preprogrammed to recognize command codes from the

supplied AVLinx remote control. An alternate remote can be used in place of the

supplied remote. The original AVLinx remote control can be used to program most

universal remote controls by following the instructions for that product. Universal

and pre-programmed remote users may also choose to teach the ADV2.1 a new

set of pre-programmed codes. A small sample list of compatible manufacturers'

codes is listed in Appendix A on page 18. Please consult your universal remote

documentation on how to set pre-programmed codes. When an alternate remote is

configured with a suitable pre-programmed code set, the AVLinx remote functions

can be assigned to the alternate remote by performing the following steps:

Programming Input Selector Keys

1. Turn on the unit.

2. Make sure there are no other infrared remote control signals interfering

with the unit during the programming process.

3. Press and hold the

input selector button

on the front panel for

5 seconds until the

LED turns on.

While continuing to

hold the front panel

button,

aim the

supplied AVLinx

remote directly at the

IR sensor window

and press the key

you are reassigning.

5. If the unit

recognizes that

command, the active

input's green LED

will turn off briefly

then come back on.

6. Aim the new remote

that is to be used for

programming directly

at the IR sensor

window and press

the key that will be

performing the

desired function.

7. If the unit recognizes the command on the new remote, the active

input's green LED will blink twice to confirm that the unit has set the new

key code.

8. Repeat Steps 1-7 for the remaining input selector keys.
