Learning & Macros Step by Step
To program a button to take action when pressed, take the following steps:
1. Double click on a button or select a button by clicking on it and press the INSERT key.
2.The button property sheet appears. Select the Action tab.
3.The currently assigned list of actions is displayed on the right side of the property page. Click
on one of the buttons on the left side of the property page to add to the action list:
• Alias: click on this button to open a tree view of all devices, direct-access and left/right keys,
and buttons in the current CCF. Select an item to add an alias to that item to the action list.
Anything with a green circle can be
aliased.
Click on the + sign to expand that divi-
sion or group.
Click on the - sign to collapse a division
or group.
You would click here to alias to the Left
and Right Hard keys local to DVD (in
this example they were never named).
Click on these to alias to the direct
access buttons local to DVD.
By clicking on the Setup icon, you
would alias to DVD-Menu-Setup (the
DVD device group, the Menu panel,
and the Setup button).
Note When your RC5000 is executing an action list and comes across an alias, the entire
action list refered to at that alias is executed. In this way, you can nest macros inside
other macros.
Aliases are shown in the action list preceded by [A] for device alias, [K] for direct-access or
left/right key alias, and [B] for a button alias.
• IRDB: click on this button to open a tree view of the IR database. Select an item to add an IR
code from the database to the action list. IR codes are shown in the action list preceded by a
[C].
• Delay: click on this button to add a delay to the action list. Hold a SHIFT key while clicking on
this button to set the default delay duration.You can always double click on a delay in the
action list to change its duration. Delays are shown in the action list preceded by a [D].
