Programming Macros
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the remote control. Once
programmed, a macro will send out up to 19
different remote codes in a predetermined
sequential order, enabling you to automate the
process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The remote can
store up to three separate macro command
sequences: one that is associated with the
Power
On Button
b
, and two more that are
accessed by pressing the
Macro Buttons
fg
.
The DCR600 remote also features two pre-
programmed functions,
ALL OFF
u
and
ALL
ON
v
, that turn all eight programmed devices
off or on when the appropriate key is pressed.
