Executing a Series of Commands
— System Control Functions
(continued)
Notes
• If you interrupt the procedure at any point
for over two minutes, the setting mode ends
and the series of commands will be
programmed to that point. In this case, clear
the program (page 35) and start again from
Step 1 to set the entire program from the
beginning. You cannot continue from where
you let off.
• If a SYSTEM CONTROL button or a Label
key has already “learned” a remote control
signal (page 49), “NG” flashes and you
cannot program on this button. Clear the
learned contents first (page 51).
•If you change the component code number
(page 12) or program a new signal by
learning (page 19) on a key or button that has
been programmed in the series of commands
of the System Control function, the new
signal will be transmitted when you press the
corresponding SYSTEM CONTROL button or
a Label key.
• During programming of a series of operating
commands, the DEL key is not displayed and
you cannot clear any operation step you have
programmed. If you have programmed an
incorrect operation by mistake, start again
from Step 1.
• If you try to program more than 32 steps, the
System Control setting finishes, and the 32 steps
you have programmed are registered. If you
want to program again, clear the program (page
35) and start again from Step 1.
• When programming a power-on command
for the System Control function, if you select
the Component Select button or the Label key
for which you programmed the Power-on
setting (page 43), the Power-on setting is also
available. So, the power of the selected
component turns off if the POWER key of the
component is programmed.
In this case, clear the Power-on setting, or do
not program the POWER key of the
component.
About the interval between
operation steps
• You can change the interval between
operation steps (page 40).
• If you cannot receive signals successfully
during consecutive operation steps, program
the interval between steps by pressing the
TIMER button between operation steps in Step
6 on page 33. This operation of programming an
interval is counted also as a step.
To change the display of the
component name on the Mode
Display key
When you program a series of operating
commands, you can change the display
of the component name to the most
suitable name using up to 8 characters or
digits.
After Step 3 (page 32), hold the Mode
Display key pressed for more than 2
seconds. Then follow the same procedure
as that for changing the name of the
Label key in “To change the display of
the Label key”, Steps 2 - 5 on page 24.
If you press the CLEAR key, the Label
key returns to the previous display.
About the order of operation steps
• Some of the components may not accept
consecutive remote control signals. For
example, a TV generally does not react to
next signal right after the Power-on signal.
So, a series of commands such as TV Power-
on and input select may not work properly.
In this case, insert other signals like the
example below;
TV Power-on t VCR Power-on
t VCR play back t TV input select
• After the series of input commands is
executed, the Commander displays the
touch-keys of the component in the final step.
By programming an often-used component’s
command as the final step, you can save the
step of pressing a Component Select button
or a Label key when you start operating that
component. (In the example on page 33, the
touch-keys of TV are displayed.)
• If a series of commands is programmed for
the Component Select button or the Label
keys (page 38), the display of that component
is shown after the program is executed.
