Macro Button Setup

Imagine turning on your TV, your DVD player and your surround sound receiver by pressing a single button on your Automator! What would normally take three remotes and three button pushes, the Automator can accomplish with the press of one button. We call that a “Macro”. Any of the Display buttons, the Power On or the Power Off buttons (on any Device or Page) can be set to be Macro buttons!

To setup a macro button, follow these easy steps:

Enter the SETUP mode by pressing and holding

1both MAIN and ENT for three seconds.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically.

2Press the MACRO button. The top of the display will show “MACRO”. The bottom of the display will flash “SELECT”.

Navigate to the Device and Page where there is a

3button you would like to set as a Macro button using the MAIN, DEVICE, and PAGE buttons.

Advanced Options:

If you wish to set one of the DEVICE buttons as a macro, on step 3, press the Page Up button twice. The top of the display changes to MAIN, and you can navigate to MAIN page 1 or page 2 before going on to Step 4.

Another option for DEVICE button macros is to only send the macro if the button is pressed and held. This is setup by entering a delay as the first step of the macro. The amount of delay determines how long the user must press the button before the macro is sent. The advantage of this option is that a normal press of the DEVICE button will simply switch devices without issuing the macro.

URC-200 specifications

The Adcom URC-200 is a sophisticated universal remote control designed to enhance home entertainment systems. Employed widely by audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts, the URC-200 stands out due to its compelling combination of features, ergonomics, and advanced technologies.

One of the main features of the Adcom URC-200 is its ability to control multiple devices, seamlessly integrating television, DVD players, Blu-ray players, cable boxes, and audio components into a single interface. This level of control is made possible through its comprehensive database, which supports a wide variety of popular brands and devices. The convenience of having a single remote diminishes the clutter of multiple remotes and simplifies the overall user experience.

The URC-200 employs infrared (IR) technology, which is standard in remote controls. However, it also incorporates powerful learning capabilities.

Moreover, the URC-200 features customizable macros. This capability allows users to program a sequence of commands into a single button press. For example, pressing "Watch Movie" could power on the TV, switch to the correct input, and start the DVD player, all with one action. This innovative feature is particularly beneficial for creating a streamlined viewing experience.

Another defining technology in the URC-200 is its backlighting system. This feature ensures that users can easily access controls in dim environments, enhancing usability during late-night movie sessions or when entertaining guests.

In summary, the Adcom URC-200 is a highly capable universal remote control that combines ease of use with advanced features. Its support for multiple devices, learning capabilities, ergonomic design, customizable macros, and backlighting make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to consolidate their home entertainment remote controls into one efficient device.
