ERROR LED AND EXTENDED MEMORY
Some remote control codes require more memory than is normally allocated by the URC-1. When you try
to learn these codes, the LEARN LED will blink in the normal manner, but will be followed by the ERROR
LED lighting up. If this happens, no command will be stored in memory.
• To store these types of commands, you must go through steps 5, 6 and 7 twice (under "TEACHING THE
URC-1 -- ", Pg 1), when learning.
• The URC-1 will allocate four-times as much memory on the second pass as it did on the first.
• If one command from a hand-held remote controller requires extended memory, the other commands from
that controller will usually require it also.
SEQUENCE (MACRO) FUNCTIONS
The URC-1 has two sequence buttons available for
each of the four positions on the BANK switch. Each
button can send up to ten separate commands that
have been previously stored on other individual
buttons. A single press of a sequence button would
then send out these commands to activate various
units in a programmed sequence.
HOW TO PROGRAM SEQUENCES
1. Two buttons are specifically marked for Se-
quence use and are labelled I and II. Using
these buttons, a total of eight sequences are
possible with the four banks.
2. Each sequence button can send up to ten individ-ual commands from the same or other banks.
3. The commands you want in the sequence must have been previously stored into the URC-1.
4. For example, suppose you want to sequence the following previously stored commands using the
Sequence I button on the TV bank:
• TV power (stored in TV bank)
• VCR power (stored in VIDEO bank)
• Set TV to Video source (stored in TV bank)
• VCR play (stored in VIDEO bank)
Proceed as follows:
a) Press LEARN button to enter the learn mode (LEARN-LED will light).
b) Select the BANK into which you want to store Sequence I (in this case the TV bank).
c) Press the recessed SEQUENCE button.
d) Press SEQUENCE I button.
e) Press TV "Power" button (TV bank).
f) Move BANK switch to VIDEO; press VCR "Power".
g) Move BANK switch to TV; press "Video" source select button.
h) Move BANK switch to VIDEO; Press "Play" button.
i) Press the recessed SEQUENCE button to leave the sequence mode.
j) Press the recessed LEARN button to leave the learn mode (LEARN-LED goes off).
5. Sequence I is now completed. Test the sequence by moving the BANK switch to TV. Press
SEQUENCE I button; it will send TV power, VCR power, set TV to Video source and VCR Play
commands. The VCR will now play through the video line inputs on your TV.
