MACRO OPERATIONS
A “macro” is a series of commands that can be sent out with the push
of a single button. Any function available on an original remote control
or in the preprogrammed database can be added to a macro to
completely automate what would normally be done by pushing
buttons one at a time. A macro can be configured to power on a TV or
projector, RV-8, and RT-10 Disc Player, change to the appropriate
inputs and outputs, dim lights and start a movie. It can be as simple or
as comprehensive as desired. There are two types of buttons that can
be used for macro operations: M1, M2, M3; POWER and SYSTEM OFF
Buttons, as well as the programmable device buttons.
The M1, M2 and M3 are called ”system-wide” buttons because they
send out the same signal no matter what device is currently controlled.
The POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons can be made “system-wide” if
they are programmed with macros.
Note:
Programming the POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons with a macro overrides
the preprogrammed or learned code on the button.
See page C-10 for further information. Each of these five buttons is
designed to be able to send out a series of up to 20 commands that are
programmed into the buttons. One common use is to turn on and
turn off all A/V components with one button press. Device buttons can
be programmed with any macro sequence desired.
The remote has 10 device buttons which can send out a series of up to
20 programmed commands when pressed for more than one second.
These buttons are commonly used in sending audio input codes when
you press the button to go to a device. The audio receiver would make
an automatic input switch according to the device button pressed.
However, these buttons can be programmed with any desired macro.
Up to 50 favorite channel buttons can be programmed into the RV-8
remote. Each of these buttons can send out up to 10 commands. Refer
to “Programming Favorite Channels” on page 9 for more information.
Note:
The last Device selected will remain active when on the HOME page and will
be shown at the bottom of the LCD screen. For example, if you are using
“TV” and then return to the HOME page, the hard buttons remain in TV
mode. The LCD buttons only change when another device is selected.
The remote can be set up to operate audio component volume control
buttons (UP, DOWN and MUTE) while all the other buttons control
other equipment. The remote can also be set up to operate channel
control and transport functions (PLAY, STOP, REWIND, FAST
FORWARD, SKIP-, SKIP+, PAUSE and RECORD buttons) from VCR,
DVD, LD, CD or any other mode while all other buttons in the remote
control are controlling other components. See page C-12 for more
information.
