Remote Settings

The Remote tab on the settings window allows changes to the remote control operations. DanceWizard uses X10 remote interfaces (such as CM19A receiver and the HR12A, PHR03 and KR22A transmitters) for remote control when playing a dance. This is particularly useful when teaching a dance from the dance floor.


Remote control enabled

If this is set then DanceWizard will respond to remote control commands from the configured transmitter, otherwise remote control commands are ignored. By default remote control processing is disabled.

Duplicate button lockout time

The remote transmitters generally send multiple copies of each command when the remote control button is pressed. This setting controls how much time after a button is pressed that DanceWizard will wait before allowing that button to be pressed again (the Play button is also the Pause button when a dance is playing, and it would be undesirable for a second command sent from the remote to pause the music as soon as it’s started). If the same command arrives from the remote in less than this time it will be ignored. The default value is 0.5 seconds.

Skip button time interval

This setting allows the amount of time the skip forward/backward commands jump in the music.

Remote Transmitter

This section allows for the particular configuration of the remote transmitter to be set so that it is recognized by DanceWizard. A printed insert for the HR12A and PHR03 transmitters can be created from the Print Layout Insert button.


More information about configuring and using X10 remote control is available in the Remote Control topic.
