The output of a combination DVD-VCR player can be connected to a single input of
the System 5 IP, and you can install and configure Extron control modules such as
the IRCM-DVD or IRCM-DVD+, and an IRCM-VCR to control the separate sources
within the combination device.

Using an IRCM-DV+ control module for DVD-VCR control
If the combination DVD-VCR player has only one available output port and neither
a distribution amplifier nor a pair of control modules [(IRCM-DVD or
IRCM-DVD+) and IRCM-VCR] is available for use, you can create a special
switcher configuration to allow control via the System 5 IP or SCP front panel and
an optional IRCM-DV+.

An IRCM-DV+ normally must be associated with two different inputs, one for the
DVD half, one for the VCR half of the IRCM-DV+. In order to use an IRCM-DV+ in
this installation, both halves must be associated with the same input.
In this example (shown above and described in the following procedure), the
DVD/VCR player’s output is connected to switcher input 3. Room/function
button 2 will be configured to associate both the DVD and VCR halves of the
IRCM-DV+ with input 3. It will also be configured to select between the DVD and
VCR halves of the IRCM-DV+.
Detailed instructions on basic configuration via Global Configurator software
are available in the System 5 IP Setup Guide.
The numbers in the sample screen shown below correspond to the procedure’s
step numbers.
