Using a Macro function

1, 3 1

Tip:

The codes programmed into a MACRO button will be transmitted with an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case, press one operation button, press the corresponding MODE button, then press another operation but- ton to extend the interval between the two operations up to one second.

Macro Direct Learning function

A series of remote controller button operations can be memorized into the MACRO DIRECT button for one-touch control.

Note:

You can program only one series of button operations into the MACRO DIRECT button.

1.Press and hold down any one of the eight MODE buttons and press the MACRO DIRECT button. Then, release the buttons.

When you press the MODE button, the SEND/LEARN indica- tor lights up. When you press the MACRO DIRECT button, the indicator turns off. When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes briefly, then lights up again.

2.Follow Steps 2 in the “Programming Macro Mode” on page 54.

3.Press the MACRO DIRECT button to complete the proce- dure.

The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.

4.Check to see if the button has been programmed correctly. Point the RC-392M toward the TX-DS777/TX-DS676 and press the MACRO DIRECT button, and make sure that the device re- sponds as programmed.

Transmitting the codes in Macro mode takes a while. During transmission, point the remote controller toward the device to be controlled.

Note:

•You may program up to 16 button operations into the MACRO DI- RECT button. If you try to program the 17th step, it will be ignored.

•If you do not press any button for more than 30 seconds during the pro- cedure, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 1.

•If you make a mistake during programming, the SEND/LEARN indica- tor flashes three times quickly, then the RC-392M exits Learning mode. Resume Step 1.

•If you erase one of the operation buttons already programmed in the MACRO DIRECT button, or if you program a different code into such a button, the operation button will no longer work. In this case, program the buttons again to avoid malfunction.
