Customizing Your RC9200/5200
5.Macro/Panel Jump Capabilities
Macros can range from a one step jump to any device or home panel to sequences with up to 255 steps. In order to plan your macros, you should understand the capabilities as follows.
Device Panel Buttons Can’t Perform Jumps/Macros
You can program a macro to be played back when any button on the Macro side of the RC9200/5200 is pressed (see page 43).
You can program a macro to be played back when a device group is selected by either pressing a button on a home panel or by selecting the device via the Device Menu (see page 26).
You cannot program a macro to be played back when any button is pressed on a device Panel. All of the
Macros Perform Jumps to Any Device Panel
The Marantz RC9200/5200 has the unique capability of jumping to any device panel during a macro.
You can make any or all of the 255 steps a jump to any Device panel. This provides you with the opportunity to give some feedback to the end user while a macro is being played back. For example: you can reveal the CD device panel to show the user that RC commands are being sent to the CD player, then jump to an AMP panel to show the user that RC commands are being sent to the amp.
You can ADD/Create a Status device group (located in new devices in the division named OTHER) and custom label each panel to give the end user more specific feedback as to what the macro is doing. You can then program jumps to each Status panel to occur during the macro.
