You can choose to manually manage your memory by choosing a smaller template file to program with. There are two configurations built-in. The default Marantz file and the memory saving stripped- down Revert file. The default Marantz file offers these unique features: 75 pre-programmed templates for home theater components.
3 Use DEL mode to delete all of the device groups that you don’t like (see page 40). 4 Use ADD mode to add the device groups for each Marantz component (see page 35-40). When you are prompted to add with or without RC codes, choose WITH RC CODES.
Page 21
Check all of your devices. 12 Switch to LEARN mode and teach the RC9200/5200 all of your non-Marantz components’ RC Codes (see page 28-32). 13 Switching back and forth between USE and LEARN modes, test all codes and reteach as necessary.
Marantz builds components that are “macro-friendly”. Instead of a single “power” button, the remote controls have a discrete “On” and a discrete “Off” button. With a Marantz system, you can record a Macro that is very reliable from a series of “On” commands. Take a look at...

Customizing Your RC9200/5200 the example ALL ON and ALL OFF macros preprogrammed in the default configuration. The problems don’t stop with powering up a system. Often, you will want to construct a macro to watch or listen to a specific source. This may require that both the Television and the Surround Receiver be set to new inputs.
Customizing Your RC9200/5200 Programming Help Lists 1 Write a list of all of the actions in the operation you want to record. 2 Gather all of the remote controls you will need for the operation. 3 Navigate to the Device side of the RC9200/5200. 4 Select ADD from the Mode menu.
PC and Marantz RCEdit (see page 47). Macros Perform Jumps to Any Device Panel The Marantz RC9200/5200 has the unique capability of jumping to any device panel during a macro. You can make any or all of the 255 steps a jump to any Device panel.
Customizing Your RC9200/5200 Macros Send Commands To Your System You can make any or all of the 255 steps send an remote control command to your system. The step is actually just a recording of the location of any button on any device panel. To record an RC command, you simply navigate to the panel and button you want, then touch it.

Customizing Your RC9200/5200 and creating a new Macro group. 3 Use DEL mode to delete all of the macro groups that you don’t like (see page 40-42). 4 Use ADD mode to add a new macro group empty of any programming (see page 35-40).
Page 28
Customizing Your RC9200/5200 Note Use the Scroll arrows to navigate; the tab style navigational jumps will not work. If you accidentally record a tab button as a macro step, it will do nothing because you cannot alias to a button that jumps. Since it will confuse you to see it in the Macro Edit window, it is best to delete it.
Customizing Your RC9200/5200 Macros From Your Home Buttons It is possible to program a macro to occur when you select a device (the macro will occur both when you press a home button AND when you select the device from the pull down Device menu). To program: 1 Navigate to the Device side of the RC9200/5200.
Reference Programming Buttons You program the RC commands (RC for Remote Control) by transmitting infrared signals from your existing remote controls to the RC9200/5200’s learning eye. To do this, place the RC9200/5200 and the device’s remote control on a flat surface, 1 to 100cm (1/2 to 36 inches) apart.
Page 31
The following buttons can be programmed: control panel buttons, Device menu items and Direct Access buttons. You cannot program Home menu buttons directly. You have to program them via the Device menu (see page 30). The RC9200/5200 also offers empty control panel buttons which you can program and label as existing buttons.

(see pages 15,17 and 60). Receivers are both AMPS and TUNERS - Since you typically use the two sections of your Marantz receiver at different times, we have separated them into two devices. You will find the amp section in AMPS and the Tuner section in TUNERS.
Page 39
All of the devices shown are Marantz model #’s with the exception of the first division, called “Other.” Below the “Other” division are three device templates that are meant for other purposes. DSS - Since Marantz does not make a DSS receiver (yet!), we included a template.
Page 40
Reference Creating a New Device From a Marantz Template If you have the exact Marantz model # in the list, add the device with RC codes. If you have a Marantz component not listed, or your component is not Marantz, add the device without RC codes and use the LABEL and LEARN modes to customize it to your liking.
