DVCM 50 • Confi guration and Operation
PRELIMINARY
1
DVD and VCR (mode selection) buttons — Use these buttons to switch the
DVCM 50 operating mode between DVD and VCR. After one of these buttons
is pressed, the DVCM buttons issue commands that control only the device
with which the button is labeled (DVD or VCR).
For example, if you press the DVD button, the DVCM switches to DVD
mode. Subsequently, each DVCM button that you press issues one of its
programmed DVD commands (to which only the DVD player responds).
If the DVD player is a combination DVD/VCR, the DVCM sends only
commands that activate the device’s DVD functions. If the DVCM is already
in DVD mode, pressing its DVD button does not cause it to switch modes.
The DVD and VCR buttons each have four memory blocks that can be
programmed with commands. In addition, pressing either mode selection
button always causes the DVCM to switch to the mode of the button that was
pressed.
2
DVD indicator LED — This LED glows amber when the DVCM is in DVD
mode.
3
VCR indicator LED — This LED glows amber when the DVCM is in VCR
mode.
4
Tx (Transmission) LED — This green LED blinks while the DVCM is
transmitting IR commands. It also blinks when any programmed front panel
button is pressed. If a button is held down, the Tx LED continues to blink
until the button is released.
If a button that was not programmed is pressed, the Tx LED does not blink.
5

loading control fi les into the DVCM. Commands can be received through this
port from the PC, using Simple Instruction Set (SIS

confi guration software. The protocol for this confi guration port is as follows:
