The keyboard scanning works by connecting the keys

to a resistor ladder on an ADC (analogue to digital
convertor) input to the microcontroller. Pressing a
key presents a unique voltage to this input.

The signal from the remote control receiver is input

to RMIN (pin 2) after first passing through the PIC
microcontroller, Z211, on the small remote receiver
pcb. This PIC ic converts the RC-5 format codes
from the remote control handsets to NEC data,
suitable for the Sony chipset. It also controls
theconfiguration of the digital filter/DAC on the Alpha
8 and 9 DAC boards the The remote control data
contains a ‘customer code’ that identifies it as an
Arcam product.The microcontroller is confiqured to
accept this code by means of the diode network
D291 to D297.
