IR (Infrared) Outputs: The VC224pm and VC226pm feature infrared
outputs from any VC201i keypads. The signal gathered from most remote
controls can be routed to back to the source components to control various
aspects of those components (play, fast forward, change disk, change tuner
channel, etc.). To connect the VC224pm or VC226pm controller IR outputs,
simply connect the VC224pm or VC226pm IR connector to an infared
connection block's IR receiver input (without needing an IR connection block
power supply). Then connect single or dual infrared emitters to the
connection block and place the emitters on the stereo components to be
controlled at the stereo location.
For controller based IR control of the VC226pm, the IR inputs must be
connected to each room RJ45. The IR signal must be common ground and are
the learned signals from our RB8 remote control. The RJ45 pin 3 is ground
and pin 6 is IR+ (pin counts are from the left).
Operation: The Knöll digital volume control is very easy to use. It has a
total of 17 different volume settings. Volume settings affect only the
room that they are in.
After the stereo is turned on, you may or may not have sound depending on
how the system was set up during installation.
To increase the volume (in this room only), push the rocker button up.
Hold the button up continuously and the volume will increase until maximum.
To lower the volume, push the rocker button down. Hold the button down
continuously and the volume will decrease until it mutes.
At any time firmly press the center of the switch to mute the volume. To
restore the volume press the rocker button up or down.
The RB8 remote control source buttons do not work with the VC224pm and
VC226pm as they have no source selection capabilities.
If infrared emitters where installed other (source) remote controls aimed
at the VC201i keypads will control the source components.
On VC201 keypads the lower led indicates that power to the system has
been switched on. The six side leds show the relative selected volume.
When in mute (center of rocker has been pushed) one of the side leds
blinks. To restore the volume press the rocker button up or down.
On VC201i keypads the lower center led blinks red when any IR signal is
passing through it.
Note: If the stereo is on and the Knöll digital volume controller has lost
power, it defaults to position #12.
Congratulations and thank you for choosing the Knöll digital
stereo volume control system. This system is designed to
individually control stereo speakers in up to four or six rooms
with many advanced features. This product is a member of the
proprietary Knoll transformer-free family which are widely
regarded as the finest stereo volume controls made anywhere.
The VC224pm has four room capability and the VC226pm has
six room capability. The VC220pm has one room capability.
Key Features:
1. Transformer-free sound quality. Being
transformer-free means the best sound quality possible in all
rooms without the phase and level problems associated with
conventional volume controls.
2. Contemporary keypad styling. The VC201 keypads
feature the latest Decora styling with six led power level
indicators. Colors are white, almond and ivory and the VC201
can be ordered with internal infrared receivers (VC201i).
VC201 keypads are all single gang.
3. Individual room start mute and turn on level
adjustment. Each room can "boot-up" muted or with the
sound on. The level of each room when the sound comes on can
be installer preselected (and changed later if required) from
either a quiet position 6 (of 17 total) or a louder position 12.
4. One or two VC201 keypads can be
connected in each room. Ever need volume controls on
both ends of a great room? This feature is available on all
Knoll digital volume controls without any extra adaptors.
5. Individual room infrared remote control. Each
room can have its volume raised or lowered, sound muted or
unmuted and power on or off with the RB8 remote when a
VC201i keypad is installed in that room. The VC201i also
passes component remote control signals to the source, such
as play, skip, AM/FM, etc.
6. Any or all rooms can be controlled by an
external controller instead of a keypad. Using
the VC224 or VC226 infared inputs to each room, a common
ground IR based controller can send remote commands.
