Using A Macro Function - Integra DTR-5.2 Instruction Manual

Using a Macro function

What is a Macro function?
A Macro function enables you to program a series of button
operations (up to 16) on the remote controller into a single button.
For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the DTR-
5.2 normally, you must perform the following steps:
1. Press the RCVR MODE button.
2. Press the ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
5. Press the playback ( ) button.
By using the macro function, you can perform the above five
operations by only pressing two buttons.

Tips:
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in
a macro, that operation of that button will no longer work in the
macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to reprogram the
macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.
• The codes programmed into a macro will be transmitted at an
interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be able
to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the next
code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you can
press the same MODE button again before pressing the next
operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two
operations.
