Setting
Up Remote Control Codes - Training the Player
(Advanced Edition only)
This screen is where you teach DanceMaster
Player what codes you are going to use.
You
can use any of 30 code sets to talk to the Player from the remote.
There are 15 "House Codes" (A - P) and 2 "Banks"
(1-8 and 9-12) selectable on the remote control. Each combination
of House Code and Bank produces a unique set of codes. If you are
the only cuer in the area using DanceMaster
Player, this doesn't matter to you, but if you are likely to
find yourself cueing near where someone else might be using DanceMaster
Player , you will want to be using a different code set so
you don't operate each other's computers. (Remember that this remote
can work through walls.)
To transmit using a different set of codes, use a screwdriver to select
a House Code other than "A", and / or change the Bank
Switch from 1-8 to 9-16 on the remote control. Then you have
to teach DanceMaster Player
your new codes as explained below.
DanceMaste Player comes
knowing how to use the default code set (House Code "A",
Bank 1-8). To teach it your new one, choose a code set on the previous
screen (the Receiver & Serial Port Selection screen), make sure
your transmitter is set as described above, then click the "Learn
Codes" button on this screen. Then, for each of the 18 function
buttons ( "MUSIC", "CUES",
"ON", "OFF",
etc.) click the button on the screen then press the corresponding
button on the remote. Remember to wait until
the red light on the transmitter stops blinking before you select
another function on the screen.
For instance:
Click the "MUSIC" button on
the screen. It will turn yellow, indicating
that DMP is ready to learn
that code.
Press the "Music" button on
the remote. The button on the screen will turn grey again, indicating
that the code was received and learned. (If it doesn't, that probably
means that the computer and the remote aren't communicating. Check
the serial port assignment, the remote batteries, and make sure no
other program in the computer is using the same serial port.)
Repeat that process for each of the other buttons (including the blue
UP and DOWN buttons at the bottom of the remote). Then click the "Done"
button.
