Squeezebox/SliMP3 & NAD SR-5 Remote Control

DE: da meine Wohnstuben-Beschallung hautpsächlich noch aus einer Squeezebox2 und einem NAD-Verstärker besteht, bin ich froh, dass ich mit der NAD SR-5 Fernsteuerung auch die Squeezebox bedienen kann. Hier kannst du mein .ir File für das SqueezeCenter herunterladen.

FR: voilà un modèle .ir pour SqueezeCenter qui vous permet d'utiliser la télécommande NAD SR-5 avec votre Squeezebox/SliMP3.

EN: download a .ir file containing all the commands you need to control your Squeezebox/SliMP3 using the NAD SR-5 remote control.
 
Download nad-sr5.ir

Installation

DE: einfach die Datein ins IR Unterverzeichnis des SqueezeCenter kopieren, und über "Player Einstellungen / Fernsteuerung" aktivieren. Die Tastenbelegung bezieht sich auf den SR-5 Fernsteuerungsmodus "DISC/PHONO".

FR: copiez le fichier dans le sous-dossier IR du dossier d'installation de votre SqueezeCenter. Activez-le dans le menu "Réglages de la platine / Remote (Télécommande)". Mettez la télécommande SR-5 en mode "DISC/PHONO" pour l'utilisation avec SqueezeCenter.

EN: download the file to your SqueezeCenter's IR subfolder and activate it on the "Player Settings / Remote" page. The keycodes represent the SR-5 in "DISC/PHONO" mode.
 

The number keys (0-9) have the same functions on both devices, though you don't see what letters you'll get by repeatedly hitting one of the number keys on the NAD. This means that eg. the Favorites plugins' shortcut keys (press and hold number key) will work on the NAD as well as the search or jumping in lists (hit 2 repeatedly to get to letter A - B - C).

Limitations and known problems

There are some minor issues with using the SR-5 over the SlimDevices remote control:

• When the remote is in tuner mode, using the navigation keys will swap channels on the tuner.
• Some of the SlimDevices remote's functions are missing. Lack of more special keys on the SR-5 SEARCH, SIZE or SLEEP aren't usable with my configuration. But the STOP isn't used, yet. It's all starting with "S". Try to remember yourself :-)
• When turning on the amp you'll also turn on the Squeezebox, even when the remote is in video or tuner mode.
• Changing volume on the Squeezebox using the SCAN button is a little cumbersome as that key's repeat code isn't recognized. But usually you won't change the volume on the player, but rather on the amp, anyway.
• If you're using Squeezenetwork, you won't be able to use the NAD remote as you can't install custom IR files on that server.
