Using a Macro function

What is a 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. For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the DTR-

7.1 normally, you must perform the following steps:

1.Press the AUDIO/TAPE MODE button.

2.Press the ON button.

3.Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.

4.Press the CD MODE button.

5.Press the playback button.

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

Programming a Macro function

You can program a different macro into the MODE MACRO button for each of the eight MODE buttons. The macro is then executed by pressing the appropriate MODE button and then pressing the MODE MACRO button. For example, to program the macro described above into the CD MODE button, perform the steps given below.

1.Press and hold down the desired MODE button (in this case, the CD MODE button), press the MODE MACRO button, and then release both buttons.

When you press the CD MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indicator lights and “CD” appears in the display. When you press the MODE MACRO button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes and lights again and “M 01” appears in the display.

Tip:

If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in a 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 a 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.

2.Press the operation buttons you wish to

program in order (in this case, press AUDIO/ TAPE MODE ON CD (INPUT SELECTOR) CD MODE playback button).

When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off and the display changes from “M 01” “M 02” “M 03”

etc. When you release the button, the indicator lights.

3.Press the MODE MACRO button to complete the programming.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly and “SAVED” appears in the display.

4.Run the macro to check to see if the macro has been properly programmed.

Notes:

You may program up to 16 button operations into each macro function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be ignored, “SAVED” appears in the display, and programming is stopped.

If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.

If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, “ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.

Running a Macro function

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

1.Point the remote controller at the DTR-7.1 and press the CD MODE button.

2.Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the devices operate properly.

 

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.
