CHAPTER 3

Remote Setup continued

9. Try out the Sunfire remote and see

if the learned buttons will success-

fully operate your equipment. You

may find that some commands

cannot be learned, because some

are non-conventional, or too long

or too short.

10. The EDIT command can be used

to change the labels if some of the

standard labels do not correspond

to your original remote buttons.

MACRO

The macro mode allows you to

set up certain buttons to transmit up

to 190 commands in sequence. For

example, a single button press could

turn on all of your home theater equip-

ment, and set the TGR-401 to DVD,

set the TV to channel 3, and set the

DVD to play, make the tea and put the

cat out.

The power ON and OFF buttons

can be programmed as macros. The

ten device buttons can also be pro-

grammed, although these will only be

activated if the device button is held

down for a few seconds.

Note that the macro buttons are in-

dependent of which device the remote

is set for. So there is only one power

macro etc.

1. In SETUP mode, press MACRO.
2. Press one of the buttons you wish

to program as a macro, such as

ON, or a device button.

3. Press up to 190 buttons you would

like the macro to store. Do this in

the exact order you want them to

be transmitted. Use the PAGE,

MAIN and direct buttons to find

buttons to use in the macro.

4. To add a delay between steps, you

can add 0.5 seconds each time

you press PAUSE (

II). This does

not take up a step. If pause is your

first step, then the macro will not

work unless the button is pressed

and held down.

5. Press the Channel UP button to

save your macro.

6. Repeat this procedure to program

more macros, and press MAIN to

return to the main menu.

7. Try out the macros to see if they

work OK. It may take some time

to transmit all the commands in

sequence, so keep the remote

pointing at your equipment and do

not move it during this time.

RECAL (Recall)

This mode lets you quickly see the

three digit codes you have assigned

to each device. This is useful if you

want to check the tables and find

other codes which may work better.

1. In the SETUP mode, select RE-

CAL. The device labels and their

codes will appear. Press PAGE to

see other codes. Make a note of

the codes.

2. Press MAIN to return to the main

device menu.

EDIT

This mode allows you to change the

labels in the display to suit your sys-

tem. You can change device labels, or

the buttons on page 1 or page 2 of a

device, or the FAV labels.

1. In the SETUP menu, press EDIT.
2. Press the TEXT button. The list of

devices appears.

3. Navigate to the device and page

where there is a button label you

want to EDIT, selecting between

the FAV, MAIN, DEVICE, then

using the PAGE button. Press

the button you wish to edit. The

first character of your button label

blinks.

4. Change the character using the

number keys. Move to the next

space by pressing the RIGHT navi-

gation button.

5. When finished editing, press the

button you just edited, and the new

text will be saved.

6. You can edit other buttons, or

press MAIN a few times to return

to the main menu.

7. With EDIT, you can also make

labels where none exist. Move to

a blank device, and add your text.

Then you can use LEARN to add

a remote code from an original

remote.

To edit the name of a device button,

proceed as follows:

1. In the SETUP menu, press EDIT.
2. Press the TEXT button. The list

of devices appears, and EDIT will

appear at the top of the screen. Do

not press a device button just yet.

3. Press the PAGE button twice until

the MAIN appears at the top of the

screen instead of EDIT.

4. Select the device button to be edit-

ed and the first character will blink.

(Press PAGE to reach the second

set of devices if required.) Change

the character using the number

keys. Move to the next space by

pressing the RIGHT navigation

button.

5. When finished editing, press the

device button just edited, and the

new name will be saved.

6. To edit the word MAIN, (for exam-

ple if you are setting up a system

in the DEN, follow steps 1 and 2

above, then press PAGE four times

until you reach a screen that just

has MAIN at the top, and MAIN

just below. Press this device but-

ton and edit the word to suit. This

will now appear at the top of the

remote display in normal use.
