2.2.1. Setting IR Remote Controller
As one IR Remote Controller can control several products, ID will have to designated to use each Remote Controller on
each product.
The following below is the method to set the ID of IR Remote Controller. Default ID will be 00.
1. Insert the battery into the IR Remote Controller (AAA Size×2).
2. Press both [F1] Button and [F2] Button at once on the IR Remote Controller for more than 2 seconds.
3. Check whether LED of the IR Remote Controller is lit.
4. By using the IR Remote Controller’s number button, set the ID number from between 00~99. Set the ID
number in 2 digits (ex. 03, 55).
5. Set the ID of the system as same as the number set on the IR Remote Controller, by using front panel direction
key.
6. Press [OK] Button on the screen to save the set ID.
Note All the System had same default value ID when it is out from the factory. Therefore, when the default value is
used, one IR Remote Controller can control several systems at once. To prevent this, it is recommendable to
set each ID for each system. As it is easy to change the ID for IR Remote Controller, several systems can be
controlled separately by changing the ID of the Remote Controller whenever it is used.
