Punch Through; Copy A Command From Another Key; Macro Commands - NAD T 778 Owner's Manual

OPERATION
USING THE HTR 8 REMOTE CONTROL
Example: Learning "DVD Pause"
Position the HTR 8 and your DVD player's remote as described above.
•
On the HTR 8, simultaneously press-and-hold [DVD] and [RES]; the
Learn LED turns steady green.
•
Press the HTR 8's Pause [j] key; the Learn LED turns amber.
• Press-and-hold the corresponding Pause key of your DVD player's
remote control; the HTR 8's Learn LED flickers amber and then turns
solid green. The command is learned.
•
Press [DVD] again to exit the learning mode.
NOTES
· The HTR 8 can learn up to 360 commands making use of all the DEVICE
SELECTOR and function keys.
· The DEVICE SELECTOR keys can themselves be configured to learn a
command.
· Press and hold a configured DEVICE SELECTOR for at least 2 seconds to
execute a function assigned to the particular DEVICE SELECTOR key.
· Short press of a configured DEVICE SELECTOR will just switch the active
device.
CANCEL OPERATION
You can cancel configuring a key, by pressing the active DEVICE SELECTOR
key before the learn process is complete; the Learn LED will turn red.

PUNCH THROUGH

The HTR 8' s "punch-through" function allows you to retain a function key from
one Device Select "page" to another, so that, for example, the AMP [SURR
MODE] function might still control the T 778 when the DVD DEVICE SELECTOR
page is active.
NOTE
The HTR 8's [VOL D/F] keys are pre-programmed as "punched-
through" for all Device Select pages: [VOL D/F] will operate the
T 778's master-volume regardless of the currently selected device. The
[SURR] [CENTER] and [SUB] Channel Volume controls similarly are pre-
programmed as punched-through.
To set a punch through, after entering the Learning Mode, and pressing the
desired key to be punched through, simply press the device key twice of
the device to punch through to. The status LED will turn green; press the
DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit Learning Mode.
Example: Punch-through AMP [SURR MODE] key to the DVD "page"
•
On the HTR 8, simultaneously press-and-hold [DVD] and [RES]; the
Learn LED turns steady green.
•
Press [SURR MODE]; the Learn LED turns amber.
• Press [AMP] twice; the Learn LED turns green.
•
Press [DVD] again to exit the learning mode.

COPY A COMMAND FROM ANOTHER KEY

You may copy a command from any HTR 8 key to any other. To copy a key
function, after entering the Learning Mode, and pressing the desired key
to be copied to, simply press the device key from which you wish to copy,
having first pressed its DEVICE SELECTOR key if it resides on another "page. "
The status LED will turn green; press the DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit
Learning Mode.
Example: Copy the Pause command from the CD page to the AMP [j]
button
• On the HTR 8, simultaneously press-and-hold [AMP] and [RES]; the
Learn LED turns steady green.
• Press Pause [j]; the Learn LED turns amber.
•
Press [CD]; press Pause [j]; the Learn LED turns green.
• Press [AMP] again to exit the learning mode.
NOTE
The copy and punch-through functions are similar. However, if you
copy a command and then subsequently delete or overwrite the
original (source-key) command, the copied-to key's command remains
unchanged. If you punch-through to a command and then delete or
overwrite the original key, the punched-through functions also change
accordingly.

MACRO COMMANDS

A "macro" command is a series of two or more remote codes issued
automatically from a single keypress. You might use a macro to automate
a simple command sequence, such as, "Turn on the DVD player and then
press PLAY". Or you might compose an elaborate macro to power up
an entire system, select a source, choose a Listening Mode, and begin
playback again, all from a single keypress. The HTR 8 can store one macro
on each of its DEVICE SELECTOR and function keys.
NOTE
Macros are independent of the currently selected device.
RECORDING MACROS
To record a macro, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the
[MACRO] key and the HTR 8 function key to which you wish to assign the
macro, until the status LED turns green. The macro button will also light up.
Press the sequence of function keys to be recorded into the macro, being
sure to first press the requisite DEVICE SELECTOR key for each function (you
may switch devices while recording the macro as many times as necessary),
allowing you to create macro containing commands from more than one
DEVICE SELECTOR "page. "
When you have finished entering the desired command sequence, press
[MACRO] again to store the macro; the Learn LED and [MACRO] key
illumination will turn off.
NOTE
Each macro can store a maximum of 64 command steps. If you exceed
this number, the macro will be stored automatically after the 64th
command is added.
