1. Turn the main amp power on
2. Turn the TV power on
3. Switch the TV to the AUX video input
4. Change the amp to the laser disc (LD) input
5. Turn the LD player power on
6. Activate the LD play command
7. Set the amp surround sound mode to Dolby Pro Logic.
The above 7 step sequence can be programmed into
a single macro button, and can be used anytime you
want to watch a LD movie. Other macro functions
could be used for CD listening, or any other sequence
of steps that you regularly perform while controlling
your A/V system.
To program a macro, first identify which commands you
wish to memorize, and note if any commands must be in a
specific order (for example, before you can activate an
amplifier’s surround mode, it must be turned on). Macro
programming may be assigned to the function buttons, as
well as Macro 1-4.
1. Press the MACRO w operation mode button with the
tip of a paper clip.
Within the LCD window, the
MACRO indication appears, then
the LEARN indicator starts blinking
(see Figure 7).
If a macro was previously
programmed, one or more of the
numeric indicators at the bottom of
the LCD window will appear with a
box around it.
2.
Press macro button No. 1 y to begin
memorizing the various codes.
In the LCD display window the
indicator “M1-00” appears in the
status line B (see Figure 8).
The “M1-00” indication signifies
Macro number 1, no steps yet
programmed.
As each macro step is
programmed, the “00” indicator will
advance by one digit-”01”, “02”,
etc.
After the first macro step is
programmed, two additional digits
(with a decimal in between)
become visible at the end of the
status line, showing the timing value
for each step (see Figure 9)
Press the MACRO button.
3. Press the command buttons in the desired sequence.
When you press a command button to be learned into
the macro sequence, its name will appear within the
LCD window. Every time you press another remote
command, the macro step number increases one by
one.
If you wish to program one of the cursor buttons as
part of the macro sequence, press and hold the
“LIGHTING” button, then press the desired cursor
button.
4. It is possible during macro programming to adjust the
timing of the interval between macro steps.
Using the cursor keys !6, the interval between macro
playback steps can be increased or decreased in 1/2
second steps, over the range beginning at 1/2 second
up to 10 seconds. For example, when the indicator
shows “0.5 SEC”, if you press the direction key, the
interval time would change to 10 seconds, then with
another press of the direction key, it would change
to 10 seconds, etc. Use the direction key to increase
the interval time, and use the direction key to
decrease the interval time.
Some equipment may not be able to receive infrared
commands in 1/2 second steps. If after programming a
macro you find that the sequence was not properly
carried out, you may wish to experiment with different
sequence timings to obtain the correct operation
results, by using the adjustment method described
above.
