Using the macro function

What is the macro function?

A macro function enables you to program a series of button operations (up to 16) on the remote controller into a single button. The series of operations are then called a macro. For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the TX-NR900/900E normally, you must perform the following steps:

1.Press the RCVR MODE button.

2.Press the ON button.

3.Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.

4.Press the CD MODE button.

5.Press the playback (What is the macro function?) button.

By using the macro function, you can perform the above five operations by only pressing one button.

Tips:

•If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in the macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.

•The codes programmed into the macro will be transmitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you can press the same MODE button again before pressing the next operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two operations.

Programming the macro

With the macro function, you can program a series of button operations as a macro into the MACRO button so the macro can be executed with just one touch. Note that for the macro function, only two macros can be programmed. For example, to program the macro described above on this page for the MACRO button, perform the steps given below.

1.Press and hold down any one of the 8 MODE buttons, press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button, and then release both buttons.

When you press the MODE button, it lights and the SEND/ LEARN indicator lights. When you press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes briefly and then lights again.

2.Press the operation buttons you wish to program in order (in this case, press RCVR MODE → ON → CD (INPUT SELECTOR) → CD MODE → playback (Manual background) button).

When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off. When you release the button, the indicator lights.

3.Press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button to complete the procedure.

The SEND/LEARN indicator slowly flashes twice.

4.Check to see if the macro has been properly programmed.

Notes:

•You may program up to 16 button operations into the macro function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be ignored, and programming is stopped.

•If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three times and turns off, then the remote controller has exited the programming mode because either you have made a mistake during programming or a time-out has occurred because no button has been pressed. Resume from Step 1.

Executing the macro

Perform the procedure below to execute the macro that you have programmed into the remote controller. After programming the macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that it has been programmed properly.

Point the remote controller at the TX-NR900/900E and press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button.

It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be sure to continue pointing the remote controller at the device until the SEND/ LEARN indicator turns off.
