matically appear in the Device Menu (the menu on the right hand side of the remote).
Device Group

jumps that you program.
Device panel buttons programmed via the PC can directly learn IR codes and can have macros with ani-
mated jumps.With the remote control by itself, they can only learn a single Infrared code.
Template Device Group
on the remote's Device Menu. It will only appear if the user tries to ADD a device using the
remote control by itself or unchecks "Is Template" in the context menu for the device.The tem-
plate feature is used by Marantz to make available pre-programmed device groups of panels for
current Marantz components.
Macro Group
in the Macro Menu (the menu on the left hand side of the remote).
Macro panel buttons programmed via the PC can directly learn IR codes and can have macros with ani-
mated jumps. When programming via the remote control's mode menu; the macro buttons can only do
macros via aliases, direct IR learning is not possible.

- Our petname for the doohickies you arrange on a panel.These are formally defined
as either Frames or Buttons.
Button
- A widget that will do something once programmed and pressed by the user. Buttons
send Infrared codes, jump to other panels, and perform macros. Buttons can be customized with
your own labels, colors, and artwork. Buttons are invisible on an RC5000, unless they have at
least one action in their action list (this can be something as simple as a .1 second delay).
Frame
- A widget that is visible, without an action list. Frames are used to display background
artwork and text messages.They cannot be programmed to do anything.They also have the abil-
ity to link a number of widgets into one, making moving complex arrangements much easier and
less fuss within RC5000 Setup.
