Macros Send RC Commands To Your System
You can make any or all of the 255 steps send an RC
command to your system. The step is actually just a recording
of the location of any button on any device panel. To record an
RC command, you simply navigate to the panel and button you
want, then touch it. Thus, all RC commands in a Macro must
first be taught to a device panel button, a direct access button
(the Mute, Channel or Volume buttons) or a device action
(typically the preamp/receiver source selection command that is
issued when you select a new device group from home or the
device menu).
You cannot learn a new IR command. The Macro side of the
RC5000i does not have the LEARN mode available.
You cannot record a button on a Home or Macro panel as a
step in a macro. However, you can record a “device action,”
which is what a home button really does (see page 26).
Macros Can Delay Between Steps
You can program a delay as any or all of the 255 steps of a
macro.
You can adjust that delay in 1/10th of a second intervals
between .1 and 99.9 seconds.

6. Programming Macros & Panel Jumps
You will do all of your Macro/Jump programming within a window
that will appear after you press the EDIT button on the Macro Mode
menu. Before proceeding with programming, make sure that you
understand how to move around in the Edit window and how to
read the RC5000i’s shorthand notation for each macro step (see
page 43).
