The ADI-2 DAC can also be remotely controlled using third-party remote controls and custom IR
transmitters. The well-known manufacturer Logitech has added the ADI-2 DAC to its remote
control database. Others can use the codes documented here:

Available are the original keys of the MRC and all 32 Remap commands with direct access
(without remapping).
10. Front Panel Controls
General operation and usage of the ADI-2 DAC are explained in chapter 5.2, Quick Start, and
chapter 5.3, Operation at the unit.
The ADI-2 DAC ships with Source: Auto active.
The State Overview screen is especially useful to check the state of digital input signals as well
as the current settings with USB. It also displays several warning messages which might
explain why currently no sound is audible. See chapter 15.3 for details.
The following chapters explain all the controls and menu items in detail.
10.1 Keys
The four back-lit function keys offer quick access of important parameters within the menu
structure. After pressing one of the four keys the corresponding menu is shown in the display.
The unit remembers the last selection per key, so re-visiting a formerly changed parameter is
easy. To leave the menu push the same key a second time, or any other key two times. The
display will revert to the top screen that was active before entering the menu.
10.2 Encoders
The encoders can be turned endlessly, but also pressed, adding a push button function. The
current functionality of all encoders is shown in the display. The big Volume knob usually
controls volume for all outputs.
Turning the small encoders 1 and 2 either changes the current parameter, or moves the
selection/cursor horizontally to the next page. Pressing the encoders 1 and 2 moves the
selection/cursor vertically, up with 1 and down with 2, as indicated by the arrows in the display.
Example: Press the key SETUP. The menu Setups is now
shown. 1 within the circle on the right side indicates that by
turning encoder 1 more pages are available. Turn encoder 1
left to enter Options. Now turn encoder 2 to scroll
horizontally through all the subpages offered under Options:
Remap Keys / Diagnosis, Phones / DSD, Clock. By pressing
encoder 2 the cursor moves down, by pressing encoder 1
back up. On a selected field or entry, 2 to the right indicates
that the current parameter can be changed by turning
encoder 2.
