Using a Macro function
Programming a Macro function
You can program a different macro into the MODE
MACRO button for each of the eight MODE buttons.
The macro is then executed by pressing the
appropriate MODE button and then pressing the MODE
MACRO button. For example, to program the macro
described above into the CD MODE button, perform
the steps given below.
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button
(in this case, the CD MODE button), press the
MODE MACRO button, and then release both
buttons.
When you press the MODE CD button, the SEND/
LEARN indicator lights and “CD” appears in the dis-
play. When you press the MODE MACRO button, the
indicator turns off. When you release the buttons,
the indicator flashes and lights again and “M 01”
appears in the display.
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to
program in order (in this case, press AUDIO/
TAPE MODE
→ POWER ON → CD (INPUT
SELECTOR) → CD MODE → playback button).
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indi-
cator turns off and the display changes from “M 01”
→ “M 02” → “M 03” → etc. When you release the but-
ton, the indicator lights.
3. Press the MODE MACRO button to complete
the programming.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly and
“SAVED” appears in the display.
4. Run the macro to check to see if the macro
has been properly programmed.
Notes:
• You may program up to 16 button operations into
each macro function. If you try to program a 17th op-
eration, it will be ignored, “SAVED” appears in the dis-
play, and programming is stopped.
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds dur-
ing the programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator
flashes three times quickly, “ERROR” appears in the
display, and the remote controller exits the program-
ming mode. Resume from Step 1.
• If you perform an invalid operation during program-
ming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the re-
mote controller exits the programming mode. Re-
sume from Step 1.
Running a Macro function
Perform the procedure below to run a macro function
that you have programmed into the remote controller.
After programming a macro, you should always run it at
least once to make sure that it has been programmed
properly.
1. Point the remote controller at the DTR-9.1 and
press the CD MODE button.
2. Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the
devices operate properly.
It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting,
so be sure to continue pointing the remote controller
at the device until the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.
What is a Macro function?
A Macro function enables you to program a series of
button operations (up to 16) on the remote controller
into a single button. For example, to play a compact
disc player connected to the DTR-9.1 normally, you
must perform the following steps:
1. Press the AUDIO/TAPE MODE button.
2. Press the POWER ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
5. Press the playback button.
By using the macro function, you can perform the
above five operations by only pressing two buttons.
Tips:
• If you erase or change the command of a button
programmed in a macro, that operation of that but-
ton will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it
will be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in
order to avoid incorrect operation.
• The codes programmed into a macro will be trans-
mitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some
devices may not be able to complete one opera-
tion in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In
this case, after pressing one operation button, you
can press the same MODE button again before
pressing the next operation button to add another
0.5 seconds between the two operations.
