Customizing Your RC9500

Macro/Page Jump Capability

Macros allow you to send a sequence of commands, jumps, delays and beeps with up to 250 steps using one single touch.

Basically, you can assign any button as a macro button. However, it is recommended that you use the macro buttons in the reserved macro device.

In order to plan your macros, you should understand the capabilities as follows,

Any Button Performs Macros/Jumps

You can program a macro to be played back when a button is selected on a device page or Home page. (see page 43)

You can program a macro to be played back when a device is selected via the Device Overview page. (see page 44)

Macros Perform Jumps to Any Device

The RC9500 has the unique capability of jumping to any device page during a macro.

You can make any or all of the 250 steps a jump to any devices. This provides you with the opportunity to give some feedback to the end user while a macro is being played back.

For example: You can reveal the CD device panel to show the user that commands are being sent to the CD player, then jump to an A/V Amp panel to show the user that commands are being sent to the amp. (see page 43)

You can Add/Create a Status device (located in new devices in the division named OTHER) and custom label each page to give the end user more specific feedback as to what the macro is doing. You can then program jumps to each Status page to occur during the macro. (see page 44)

You cannot jump to the Device Overview and the Page Overview page. You are allowed to jump to each page of the devices.
