MLC 226 IP Series • Operation
PRELIMINARY
If the MLC is confi gured for use with a MediaLink Switcher or for some 
projectors, the MLC’s LEDs light to indicate volume ranges (with steadily 
lit LEDs) and minimum/maximum volume limits (with fl ashing LEDs), as 
shown in the following diagram.

 IR signal sensors
These sensors allow for IR remote control of the MLC and for IR learning. The 
IR remote control must be pointed directly at these devices for best results.
e
 IR control receiver — This larger infrared receiver accepts IR signals from the 
Extron IR 402 infrared remote control, which mimics the MLC’s front panel 
controls.
N
  If outside interference 
(such as fl uorescent 
lighting) affects the 
MLC’s functioning, you 
may need to disable IR 
control. Front panel IR 
control can be disabled 
using the 65# special 
function SIS command. 
See page 5-40 for details.
f
   IR learning receiver — This 
smaller sensor receives and 
“learns” commands from 
other devices’ infrared 
remotes in order to control 
the projector or input 
devices such as a VCR or 
DVD player. IR learning of projector control codes is only necessary if there 
are no RS-232 codes available for that projector or if you need to customize 
the driver. Refer to the IR Learner help fi le for IR learning procedures. This 
receiver accepts infrared signals of from 30 kHz to 62 kHz.
