Creating Macros; Volume Punch-Through; Key Mover - Arcam BDP100 - REV 6.2 Manual

creating Macros

You can program your Cr104 to issue a sequence of
commands when you press a single key. Any sequence of
commands you regularly use can be reduced to a single
key press for your convenience.
For example, you might want to turn off your TV, VCr
and Satellite at the same time.
A key programmed with a Macro is available in all
<
modes; it will replace that key's different functions
for all modes.
A Macro can consist of up to eight key presses.
<
example: To assign a Macro to the h key
1. Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
twice: * * .
Press 9 9 5 .
2.
Press h (the Macro will be assigned to this key).
3.
Press a, P , w , P , z , P . (These are the
4.
Macro steps you wish to record.)
To store the Macro, press and hold S until the
5.
power LED blinks twice: * * .
now, whenever you press h , the Cr104 will toggle the
power to your TV, VCr and Satellite.
The important word here is 'toggle' . For example,
<
if the TV and Satellite devices are currently on,
but the VCr is off, pressing h will switch off the
TV and Satellite and switch on the VCr (rather
than switching all three devices on or off).
When using Macros, remember that you may
<
need to change mode or use S , and that each
key press (including changing modes and pressing
S ) counts as one of the Macro steps. You cannot
use a Macro key within another Macro.
If the amount of memory storage for a particular
<
Macro is exceeded, the power LED comes on for
five seconds. You can, however, save the macro
steps up to that point by pressing S , or you can
cancel the Macro recording by pressing any other
key.
The delay between key presses is recorded as
<
part of the Macro. A delay of up to 30 seconds is
permitted.
example: To deassign the Macro associated
with the h key
Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
1.
twice: * * .
Press 9 9 5 .
2.
Press h .
3.
Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
4.
twice: * * .

Volume punch-through

Volume punch-through means that, no matter which
Device Mode is selected, the Cr104 controls the
AVr500, AVr600 or AV888 volume. You don't need to
press A on your Cr104; this feature is switched on by
default.
There are times, however, when you might want to
control a device's volume directly when in a specific
Device Mode.
example: To cancel volume punch-through
for a TV (aV mode)
Press a once.
1.
Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
2.
twice: * * .
Press 9 9 3 .
3.
Press - . The power LED blinks four times.
4.
now, while in TV (AV) mode, you will be able to control
the volume or mute functions of your TV directly.
To completely cancel all volume punch-
through settings
Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
1.
twice: * * .
Press 9 9 3 .
2.
Press + . The power LED blinks four times *
3.
* * * .
now, whichever mode you're in, you will have direct
access to that device's volume or mute functions,
assuming they are available. You would need to switch to
mode to alter the AVr500/AVr600/AV888 volume.

example: To restore default volume punch-
through settings to all device Modes
Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
1.
twice: * * .
Press 9 9 3 .
2.
Press A . The power key LED blinks twice: *

key Mover

Sometimes you might find that a key you use a lot for
your system is in the 'wrong' place on the Cr104 keypad
for your comfort. It's quite easy to reassign a favourite
function to a more accessible key. It is even possible
to move a function from one Device Mode to another
Device Mode.
example: To assign the D function to the
key in SaT mode
Press z .
1.
Press and hold S until the power LED blinks
2.
twice: * * .
Press 9 9 4 .
3.
Press the key you want to move (e.g. D )
4.
5. Press the key you want to move the key to (e.g.
U ).
now, pressing either D or U while in SAT Device
Mode makes the Cr104 transmit the D function.
To completely swap over the functionality of the two
keys to put the U functionality on the D key, repeat
the above process again, but swap over the D and U
key presses in the example.
note that the function that is copied over to the new key
is always the original function of the old key.
Restore a moved key
To restore a key to its previous function, repeat the
example above, pressing the key to be restored twice
(copy it back to itself).
Restore all moved keys for a device Mode
To restore all keys in a Device Mode to their original
functional positions, repeat the example above, but press
the relevant Device Mode key (e.g. A ) at points 1,4 and
5 in the example.
