Recording macros 55
Ending with a specific device:
You can tell the remote control to end the
macro by displaying the control panels for a particular device. While still in
Record mode, open the Device menu. Hold down the Left button (labeled
DEVICE ), and tap the device you want. The device gets added to the end of the
macro as a “Go” command. In addition, the remote control automatically
records the device’s source-switching command and inserts the command just
before the Go command. (You can remove the source-switching command later
if you don’t want the source to be switched.)
You can only stored one Go command per macro, and it is always the last
command, even if you later add commands to the macro.
Adding delays:
When you’re done recording, you can add one or more delays
to the macro. A delay tells the macro to pause for a second or two before
continuing. After turning on a device, you should insert a delay before sending
the device any more commands. (Devices must sometimes “warm up” before
they’re ready to receive infrared commands.)
NOTE
The buttons on Home panels can’t be included in macros. However,
you can use them to navigate while you’re recording a macro.
7 When you’re done, tap the Macro tab.
The remote control displays the contents of the macro. Use the scroll buttons
and to view the commands in the macro.
At this point, you can test, edit, or close the macro. Or, you can add
commands.
To test the macro:
Press the Right button, labeled PLAY .
