button along with the button for six seconds. Some devices like Apple
TV have visual indication once pairing is achieved.

Custom installation (C.I.) use
The 550A and 650A feature a Control Bus input/output that allow un-
modulated remote control commands (positive logic, TTL level) to be
received electrically by the unit and looped to another unit if desired.
These control commands are typically generated by custom installation
(multi-room) systems or remote IR receiver systems. The Control Bus
sockets are colour-coded orange.
An IR Emitter Input is also provided that allows modulated IR remote
control commands to be received electrically by the unit. Commands on
this input operate the unit only and are not looped out demodulated on
the Control Bus Output.
In addition the units feature 'direct' IR/Control codes as well as toggle
codes for some of their features to simplify programming custom
installation systems. Special direct On/Off and Mute commands can be
accessed on the supplied remote control for teaching into C.I. systems
as follows:
1. Press and hold the Standby button. The remote first generates its
standby (toggle) command. Keep holding the button down and after
12 seconds an amplifier “On” command will be generated. If the
button is held down for a further 12 seconds, an amplifier “Off”
command is generated.
2. Press and hold the Mute button. The remote first generates its
mute (toggle) command. Keep holding the button down and after
12 seconds a “Mute On” command will be generated. If the button is
held down for a further 12 seconds, a “Mute Off” command is
generated.
