RV-8
ed. A "Sending" icon will flash in the upper right corner of the LCD
screen as the macro is sending each command. It will not appear
when a series of PAUSE commands are being executed. Wait until
the icon finishes flashing before using other functions or putting
down the remote.
Sample Macro Sequence
The following is a sample macro which demonstrates what a macro
can accomplish. This example assumes the names of the devices
have not been changed and that the "punch through" technique
was used to assign the VOL to the RV-8. If the labels have been
changed, insert the changed names into the example.
In this example, the M1 button will be used to power on the TV,
the RV-8 and the cable box; choose the appropriate inputs; and
tune in a favorite TV channel.
1. Press HOME and ENT simultaneously for three seconds.
2. Press MACRO.
3. Press M1.
4. Press MAIN. (Opens the remote control MAIN device page.)
5. Press POWER.
6. Press TV. (Opens the TV device page.)
7. Press POWER.
8. Press HOME.
9. Press SAT. (Opens the SAT device page.)
10. Press POWER.
11. Press HOME.
12. Press MAIN.
13. Press PAUSE three times. Pressing the PAUSE button three times
C-12
allows for an extra .6 seconds of wait time (3 x .2 seconds per
push = .6 seconds). This step is included in this example
because most receivers and amps take time to "cycle up" and
cannot receive any commands, such as input, until the device
is ready. This example enabled the other steps of the macro to
run while the Audio device is "cycling up."
14. Press SAT. (This selects the "SAT" input on the RV-8.)
15. Press HOME.
16. Press SAT. (Back to this device to enter the appropriate
channel.)
17. Press 1, then 3, then 5. (Then press the ENT button if the cable
device requires it.)
18. Press CH UP to save the macro.
19. Press HOME twice. Press M1 to test the macro. It should turn
on the RV-8, then the TV, then the satellite box, then change
the input to SAT on the RV-8, then change the channel to 135.
Note:
A macro can end on any page, including the HOME
page. In the previous example, the macro was ended
on the SAT page before saving it, as this was the
desired endpoint.
Programming "Punch Through" Functions
The RV-8 volume control can be used in a different mode
using the volume "punch through" feature. You can also have
channel "punch through" (Channel Up, Channel Down) as well as
eight VCR (or DVD) transport buttons (Play, Stop, Fast Forward and
Rewind, Skip-, Skip+, Pause, Record) operate in another mode such
as SAT, CD and RV-8 MAIN modes.
