Chapter 3 - Setup

Programming Macro Buttons

If you find yourself repeatedly pressing the same se- quence of buttons while using your GTP-870HD, then consider taking advantage of the built-in Macro fea- ture. Macros allow you to execute a series of com- mands (up to ten button presses) at the touch of a single button.

Each Macro button (labeled M1, M2, M3, and M4) can store two macros, one for each “group” of input but- tons:

Group 1 inputs - Main, Video 1, Video 2, and Video 3

Group 2 inputs - Video 4, CD, Tuner, Room 2

For example, if you program the M1 macro in Group 1, the macro will perform the same series of steps whether you are in any Group 1 mode (Main, Video 1, Video 2, or Video 3).

Programming a Macro Button

1Press a Source button (Main or Vid 4) and the Ext7.1 button, simultaneously.

Hold both buttons until the red light under the Source button turns on.

2Press one of the five macro buttons (M1-M4, Pow- er) you wish to program.

The red light under the Source button will blink once for each subsequent button press.

3Press up to 10 commands you would like to in- clude in the macro sequence.

Pressing a Source button to change modes is counted as one command.

Note:

The Power On/Off command, for devices other than the Main receiver, is programmed into a macro using the Ext7.1 button.

Deleting a Macro button

1Press the Source button (Main or Vid 4) and the Ext7.1 button, simultaneously.

Hold both buttons until the red light under the Source button turns on.

2Press the macro button (M1-M4, Power) you wish to delete.

The red light under the Source button will blink once.

3Press the Volume button to delete the mac- ro.

The red Status LED and the Source button will blink twice to confirm deletion and then turn off.
