4. Erasing the memory assigned to each function
command set:
All codes and names, which were previously
memorized for each of the functions (such as TV, LD,
VCR, etc.), can be erased.
Press and hold the CLEAR button !4, and press the
function button that you want to erase 2 times.
You will see the “FNC - CLR?” (function - clear?)
indication in the LCD window (see Figure 5).
If you wish to go ahead and clear all of the memorized
codes for that function button, press the “OK” button
within the cursor keys !6.
After clearing the memory contents for that function, the
RC2000 Mk w will restore any factory programmed RC-5
codes for the function, if any, or will simply be empty.
If you want to cancel the memory clear operation, do
not press the “OK” button, but instead simply touch
any other button.
When you clear all the commands associated with a
function button, all of the learned direct function
commands (D-1 through D-8, pages 1 through 4) are
cleared as well.
Cleared buttons:
In addition to the FUNCTION button, the codes stored in
the following buttons are cleared.
All of the direct mode buttons u for 4 pages.
All of the numeric keypad buttons !2.
All of the CONTROL buttons !5.
All of the CURSOR buttons !6.
MEMO!3, CLEAR!4, VOL !1, MUTE !7, OSD !8 and
GUIDE !9 buttons.
5. Complete erasure:
While holding the CLEAR button !4 depressed, press both
of the ON and OFF POWER buttons r simultaneously.
"ALL-CLR?" is displayed on the LCD window (see
Figure 6).
If you wish to finalize the complete erasure process,
press the OK button within the cursor keys !6.
If you do not wish to proceed with the complete erasure
process, simply press any key other than OK button.
NOTE:
The RC-5 codes as supplied from the factory cannot
be erased from memory, but they can be replaced with
different codes as you wish.
By now, you have learned how to memorize codes
from other brands of components, including changing
the various function, status, and direct function names.
Before continuing on to the more advanced RC2000
Mk w programming techniques, you may wish to
continue "teaching" the RC2000 Mk w remote control
with any or all other commands for other
components in your system. When you feel you've
transferred as many different commands from other
components into the RC2000 Mk w as you'd like,
and possibly changed some or all of their names as
well, then feel free to proceed to the next section.
The all-clear operation takes about 15 seconds after
the OK button is pressed.
ADVANCED PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES
Macro mode:
The word “macro” is used to describe a series of specific
steps carried out in sequence. For example, a word
processing program can use macros to carry out common
repetitive typing tasks. During the day to day operation of
an A/V system, you might find yourself pressing the same
combination of remote control buttons often.
The RC2000 Mk w features the ability to “learn” a sequence
of infrared commands, and “assign” that sequence to a
single button, called a MACRO button y. Then, when you
want to achieve a specific result, you can activate a macro
button to begin sending out a series of commands. For
example, suppose you wish to activate your A/V system,
and watch a movie on laser disc. A single macro button
could send out the following commands in this suggested
sequence:
