Using the HDS4.2 with a Remote Control

Remote operations of the HDS4.2 are accomplished through the use of just about any remote con-

trol. A remote control is not supplied with the HDS4.2, yet the versatile programming modes of the

HDS4.2 allows the HDS4.2 to work with virtually any remote control. The next section "Program-

ming your Remote Control" on page 6, describes how to setup your remote controller. After your

remote control is programmed the following describes the pre-programmed functions of the

HDS4.2.

There are 10 separate remote controlled commands understood by the HDS4.2. They are:

• POWERTOGGLE.The HDS4.2 can be toggled from standby to pow-

er on, and back to standby using a single button of the remote.

• SELECTIN1. Select input 1. If the HDS4.2 is in standby mode, it will

power on and then select input 1.

• SELECTIN2. Select input 2. If the HDS4.2 is in standby mode, it will

power on and then select input 2.

• SELECTIN3. Select input 3. If the HDS4.2 is in standby mode, it will

power on and then select input 3.

• SELECTIN4. Select input 4. If the HDS4.2 is in standby mode, it will

power on and then select input 4.

• POWEROFF. The HDS4.2 can be set to standby mode by pressing

a single button of the remote. Once the HDS4.2 is in standby mode,

further presses of the P

OWEROFF button will be ignored. This com-

mand is useful when using the “macro” feature of some programma-

ble remote controls, and is used when it is unknown whether the

HDS4.2 is already in standby mode or not.

• POWERON. The HDS4.2 can be powered on from standby by press-

ing a single button of the remote. Once the HDS4.2 is powered on,

further presses of the POWERON button will be ignored. This com-

mand is useful when using remote controls that allow “macro” pro-

gramming, where it is unknown whether the HDS4.2 is already power

on or not.

• SETDIMMODE. Toggles through three different bright/dim display

modes. They are: Bright all the time. Dim all the time. Bright for 4 sec

onds after any keypress, and then automatically dim.

• SELECT+. Select the next higher input. If input 4 is currently selected,

then this command will cause input 1 to be selected.

• SELECT-. Select the next lower input. If input 1 is currently selected,

then this command will cause input 4 to be selected.
