RV-8 Appendix C
C-11
7. Return to step 4 until all desired commands are programmed.
8. Save the commands selected to the macro button by pressing the
CH UP button.
9. Once you complete the programming and wish to exit from this
mode, press the HOME button. Exit from the SET UP mode by
pressing the HOME button once again. Tip: Remember that a
single push of a Device Button that has a macro connected to it
will take you to that device's function pages. Hold the Device
Button down for one second in order to send the macro that you
have created for that Device Button.
Note:
Pressing the PAUSE button (bottom right of cursor pad) during the macro
programming will add a time delay of 0.2 seconds between the
commands. For example, pressing the P AUSE button three times will create
a pause of 0.6 seconds between the commands where the delay was
inserted. Pressing PAUSE does not count as a macro step.
When using a macro, remember to keep the remote po inted toward
the components until the macro is finished being transmited. A
“Sending” icon will flash in the upper right corner of the LCD screen as
the macro is sending each command. It will not appear when a series
of PAUSE commands are being execu ted. Wait until the icon finishes
flashing before using other functions or putting down the remote.
SAMPLE MACRO SEQUENCE
The follow ing is a sample m acro wh ich dem onstrates w hat a ma cro
can accomplish. This example assumes the names of the devices have
not been changed and that the “punch through” technique was used
to assign the VOL to th e RV- 8. If the labels ha ve been ch anged, insert
the changed names into the example.
In this example, th e M1 button w ill be used to power o n the TV, the
RV-8 and the cable box; choose the appropriate inputs; and tune in a
favorite TV channel.
1. Press HOME and ENT simultaneously for three sec onds.
2. Press MACRO.
3. Press M1.
4. Press MAIN. (Opens the remote control MAIN device page.)
5. Press POWER.
6. Press TV. (Opens the TV device page.)
7. Press POWER.
8. Press HOME.
9. Press SAT. (Opens the SAT device page.)
10. Press POWER.
11. Press HOME.
12. Press MAIN
13. Press PAUSE three times. Pressing the PAUSE button three
timesallows for an extra .6 seconds of wait time (3 x .2 seconds per
push = .6 seconds). This step is included in this example because
most receivers and amps take time to “cycle up” and cannot
receive any commands, such as input, until the device is ready.
This example enabled the other st eps of the macro to run while
the Audio device is “cycling up.”
14. Press SA T. (This selects the “SA T” input on the RV-8.)
15. Press HOME.
16. Press SAT. (Back to this device to enter the appropriate channel.)
17. Press 1, then 3, then 5. (Then press the ENT button if the cable
device requires it.)
18. Press CH UP to save the macro.
19. Press HOME twice. Press M1 to test the macro. It should turn on
the RV -8, then the TV, then the satellite box, then change the input
to SA T on the RV-8, then change the channel to 135.
