MACRO Programming
Multiple command MACRO support allows you to define one-
button sequences, for example, adjust room lighting, lower the
projection screen, power-up the laserdisc, and play. There are Ten
10-step MACROs available using any combination of audio/video
IR command, X-10 for light control, even time delays (using X-10
commands). MACROs are stored in the Controller, which has
battery back-up.
There are 10 different MACRO buttons available using the number
keypad (0-9).
a. Slide the Mode switch to the Macro position.
b. Press the Learn button (do not hold down — if held down,
system will go into Infrared Learning Mode, not MACRO Learning).
c. Press and hold down the MACRO button that you would like to
program (for example, 1) for 2 seconds until the Green light on the
RC-8 is on, then release. The Controller's Learn and Data lights
will illuminate.
d. In the desired operational sequence, slowly press the sequence
of buttons, one right after the other waiting a second between
button presses for the data transmission to complete (lights on the
RC-8 will flash during transmission). The Data light on the
Controller flashes off briefly as the button-press is added to the
MACRO's sequence. You can program up to 10 different
audio/video IR and/or X-10 steps per MACRO button.
Example: • slide to Macros, press Learn, press/hold 2, release
• slide to Lts, press 2, 3, On (B3 On) (1 step)
• press VolDn, VolDn, VolDn (dim about 50%) (3 steps)
• slide to A/V, press Laser, press Play (2 steps)
• slide to Macros, press any number key to exit
MACRO Tip: if you wish to insert short delays between commands,
enter an unused X-10 function (e.g. H1 OFF, if H1 is not used in
your house) to obtain approximately one second of delay per X-10
command.
