MACRO PROGRAMMING
The MCS-2 has 16 programmable macro memories. It will automatically transmit a series of 20 commands
deep.
To enter the macro mode - press macro and the either the 0 through 9 buttons OR the device source keys
(1-6). You can insert a delay time from 1 to 99 seconds between steps (the default is .5 sec.) to suit their
specialized needs. To program in time delays, press the appropriate button and hold it from 1 to 99 seconds
then input the next command.
Here is an example of how to set a macro.
The list of things you want to accomplish are:
1.) Power on CD1
2.) Put CD player in disc change mode.
3.) Select disc 10.
4.) Select play mode for CD player.
Press “Learn” then the “M” button to enter the macro learning mode. The Red LED should begin flashing.
Then press the “CD1” source device button on the left side of the controller. The following functions will
then be grouped as a macro under the CD1 source button.
The following selections are made on the right side of the MCS-2 dual controller. See diagram page 7.
1.) Press “PWR” button
2.) Press the button programmed for disc select
3.) Enter “1” and “0” on the numeric keypad
4.) Press the button programmed for disc enter
5.) Press the button programmed for play
Press the learn button or wait 15 seconds for it to return to normal. The red LED should turn off.
To utilize the macro mode, press the “M” button (it will only wait for 2 seconds for a second button to be
pressed) then press either numeric button (0-9) or source button (1-6) to engage a pre-programmed macro.
To clear a macro out of memory, press the “CLEAR” then the “M” buttons and then the key with the memory
you wish to erase. It is a permanent erase, so make sure you are careful. If no key is pressed within 15
seconds, the unit will exit the clear mode and return to normal operation.
NOTE: All macro commands must come from individual commands already programmed in the MCS-2.
They cannot come from the sources wireless remote.
