Erase Macro Functions In The Ten Device Buttons D. [. . . ] Tip: There are five pages of LCD screens for favorite channel programming. You move to other pages by pressing the PAGE or FAV button. Tip: You can use the following buttons: 0-9, ENTER, DISPLAY, POWER, SYSTEM OFF, and INFO/PAUSE in your FAV macro. Tip: (For Advanced Users) To make even more powerful FAV macros, you can learn codes from your original remote(s) to the 0-9, ENTER, DISPLAY, POWER, SYSTEM OFF, and INFO/PAUSE buttons in any device, and use them in your FAV macros. (This will not work if you have already applied a preprogrammed device code to those buttons. ) For example: Some televisions require you to send out a code after the digits other than the ENTER code in order to change channels. For this, you could LEARN the proper code to the ENTER button from your original television remote, and use that in your FAV macro. If you are creative, you can learn any codes to these buttons and make your FAV macros do almost anything! 25 6. Programming Macro Buttons A macro is a series of commands that you choose to be sent out with the push of one button. There are two types of macro functions you can program with the RC8TM: The M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons are designed to send out up to twenty commands from each of the five hard buttons. The ten device buttons can each send a macro of up to 20 commands when the device button is pressed for more than 1 second while on the MAIN page of the remote control. Important: If you program the POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons with a macro, they will no longer function as ON and OFF buttons for your components. Be sure to end your macro on the Device page that you would like it to remain on when the macro is sent in normal use. Return to Step #4 until you have programmed all of the Macros that you require. Save the commands you selected to the macro button by pressing the CH UP button. Once you complete the programming and wish to exit from this mode, press the MAIN button. Exit from the SET UP mode by pressing the MAIN button once again. 28 27 6. Programming Macro Buttons Tip: Remember that a single push of a Device Button that has a macro connected to it will take you to that device's function pages. You will need to hold the Device Button down for 1 second in order to send out the macro that you have created for that Device Button. Tip: Pressing the PAUSE button (the key to the bottom right of the cursor pad) during the macro programming will add a time delay of 0. 2 seconds between the commands. For example, pressing the PAUSE button three times will create a pause of 0. 6 seconds between the commands where the delay was inserted. Pressing the PAUSE button does not count as a macro step. Tip: When using a macro, remember to keep the remote pointed toward your components until the macro is finished being transmitted. [. . . ] The RC8TM uses very little power with the LCD screen on, so the screen remains on at all times. Preprogrammed: Indicates a library of infrared codes built in to a particular remote. This feature allows a remote to control your equipment without needing to learn individual signals, or replace a particular remote that is lost or broken. The database used for the preprogrammed Device codes may not be able to control all your devices. [. . . ]
