Adcom GTP-740 - Manual (Page 30)

For macro programming purposes, think of the source selectors as being in two groups: main, DVD. VCR,
and tuner in Group 1; v. aux, CD, d. RF, and d. aux in Group 2. When you program a “Group 1" macro,
you will start by pushing the main source selector. After you’ve completed and memorized that macro
command series, you can initiate it whenever you’re in main, DVD, VCR, or tuner modes. Similarly, you
will program “Group 2“ macros by pushing v. aux first and can use them whenever the v. aux, CD, d. RF,
or d. aux inputs are active.
For example, if the m1 button is programmed in Group 1 mode to turn on the TV, turn on the audio
receiver, turn on the VCR, and then turn on the satellite receiver, it will perform the same series of
commands whenever the m1 button is pressed IF main, DVD, VCR, or tuner sources are active at the
time you select that macro. If you’ve programmed a Group 2 macro, it will send out an identical command
sequence whenever v. aux, CD, d. RF, or d. aux inputs are active.
Programming Macro Initiator Buttons:
1. Press either the Group 1 or Group 2 source selector button (main or v. aux respectively) and the
mute button simultaneously. Hold both buttons until the red status LED and the input selector
button remain lighted.
2. Press the macro initiator button (power, ml, m2, m3 or m4) you wish to program.
3. Select and press up to 10 buttons you wish to store in the macro. Both source selector and function
buttons count as individual commands. Remember that each maao can hold only up to 10 individual
commands.
4. Press the tuning up button to save the macro. The red status LED and input selector button will
blink twice to confirm programming and then turn off.
Please note:
•
To add a power (on/off) command to the macro, use the mute button in place of the power
button.
• The tuning up/down buttons cannot be used in a macro sequence.
Programming main volume “punch through”
This particular macro command is very useful. It allows you to adjust the main volume (volume up,
volume down, and mute) regardless of which source selection is active. In practical terms, this means
that you will be able to adjust the GTP-740’s volume without first pressing main—even if you’re in VCR
mode at the time! Remember that you will need to program the remote individually for each source you
think you will use this “punch through” feature with.
1. Press the appropriate source selector and mute buttons simultaneously and hold until both the red
status LED and source selector button remain lighted.
2. Press the volume up button.
3. Press the main source selector. The red status LED and the source selector button you pressed in
Step 1 will blink twice to confirm successful “punch through” programming and then turn off.
Example; If you wish to have the GTP-740's master volume controls operate in the VCR mode, you would
press the VCR source selector button in Step 1 and the main source selector button in Step 3. If you
want the same convenience while in DVD mode, select DVD in Step 1, etc.
