34USING THE HTR 2 REMOTE CONTROLMACRO COMMANDSA “macro” command is a series of two or more (up to 64) remote codes issued automatically from a simpletwo key-press procedure. You might use a macro to automate a simple command sequence, such as, “Turnon the DVD player and then press ‘play.’ Or you might compile an elaborate macro to power up an entiresystem, select a source, choose a Listening Mode, and begin playback-again, all from a single key-press.The HTR 2 can store one macro on each of its function keys (these exclude the Device Selector keys).NOTEMacros are independent of the currently selected device.RECORDING MACROSTo record a macro, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the [MACRO] key and the HTR 2function key to which you wish to assign the macro; the status LED turns green. The macro button willalso light up. Now, press the sequence of Control function keys to be recorded into the macro, being sureto first press the requisite Device Selector key for each function (you may switch devices while recordingthe macro as many times as necesarry). This allows you to create a macro containing commands frommore than one Device. When you have finished entering the desired command sequence, press [MACRO]again to store the macro; the Learn LED and [MACRO] key illumination will turn off.NOTEEach macro can store a maximum of 64 command steps. If you exceed this number, the macro willbe stored automatically after the 64th command is added.Example: Record a Macro to the [0] key to Turn on the NAD receiver, Turn on the DVD player,Select the DVD Input, and Commence Playback:• On the HTR 2, simultaneously press-and-hold [MACRO] and [0] (numeric zero); the Learn LED turnssteady green.• Press [AMP]; press [ON]; press [DVD]; press [ON]; press [AMP]; press [1] (red “DVD”); press [DVD];press [play] (the Device Key blinks as each step is added).• Press [MACRO] again to exit the macro-record mode.To clear a macro, perform the above steps without entering any functions.EXECUTING MACROSTo execute a macro, press and release [MACRO]; its key illumination lights for 5 seconds. While it remainslit, press an HTR 2 key to which a macro has previously been stored ([0] as in the case illustrated above).The corresponding macro will run; as each step executes, its “parent” Device Selector’s key flashes lightsbriefly; when execution is finished, the [MACRO] key illumination goes out. Pressing any other HTR 2 keywhile a macro is executing will abort the macro. Remember that you must hold the HTR 2 so that itsinfrared emitter can activate the target components.NOTEWhen a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands. If youneed more than a 1 second delay between particular commands-for example, to permit a componentto power up completely-you can record “empty” steps into the macro. For example, if the [TITLE] keyis not used for your CD player, you could record that command into the macro to insert a delay.KEY-ILLUMINATION TIME-OUTThe HTR 2’s key-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. The default value is 5 seconds.To set the illumination time-out, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR 2’s [DISP] andthe [0-9] key, with the digit corresponding to the desired time-out duration; the Learn LED will flash twiceto confirm the new setting. When set to zero, the illumination will not turn on at all.NOTEKey illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR 2’s batteries. A short key-illumination time-out willextend battery life appreciably; turning it off altogether (set it to 0 seconds) will lengthen it still further.ENGLISH FRANÇAIS DEUTSCH ESPAÑOL ITALIANO PORTUGUÊS SVENSKA
