Lexicon RV-8 manual Sample Macro Sequence

RV-8 Appendix C

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 PAUSE 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 pointed 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 executed. Wait until the icon finishes flashing before using other functions or putting down the remote.

SAMPLE MACRO SEQUENCE

The following is a sample macro which demonstrates what a macro 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 the RV-8. If the labels have been changed, insert the changed names into the example.

In this example, the M1 button will be used to power on 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 seconds.

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 steps of the macro to run while the Audio device is “cycling up.”

14.Press SAT. (This selects the “SAT” 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 SAT on the RV-8, then change the channel to 135.
