EXECUTION TIMES
• Some components will not execute consecutive commands quickly, particularly after a power ON
command.
• We therefore suggest that commands, such as Power ON and Play on the same component, be separated
by one or more commands of different components, so more time is given between commands for
execution in the sequence.
• You may even store "dummy" commands (commands from a remote control not used in your system) to
use up time in the sequence.
• Actual execution times for a full 10 command sequence can vary from 2 to 5 seconds or more, depending
on the code length of various manufacturer's commands.
Example of Separated Commands:
To turn on a Cable Box, select channel 22, turn on a TV, select channel 3, turn on a VCR, select Record
mode. Store sequence under SEQUENCE II button.
Proceed as follows:
a)Press LEARN button.
b)Select desired Bank for the sequence.
c)Press recessed SEQUENCE button.
d)Press SEQUENCE II button.
e)Press button with the TV "Power" command.
f)Press button with the Cable box "Power" command.
g)Press button with the VCR "Power" command.
h)Press button with the Cable box "CH 22" command (push number button "2" twice).
i)Press button with the TV "CH 3" command.
j)Press button with the VCR "Record" command (watch CH 22 while recording) .
k)Press SEQUENCE button to leave Sequence Mode.
l)Press LEARN button to leave Learn Mode.
Note that the power commands for each of the components in the above example are separated from a
subsequent command by two commands of different components.
HOW TO USE ANY BUTTON AS A SEQUENCE BUTTON
While 2 separate buttons are marked for sequence functions, in reality any button can be used for
sequencing. For instance, the POWER button could actually have a sequence of several power commands
from a variety of products. Simply follow the same instructions as explained above, substituting the desired
button for the Sequence I or II buttons in the procedure.
NOTES:
1. Even though buttons I and II are marked as Sequence buttons, they may be used for storing individual
commands as well.
2. The button used for a sequence cannot be used to store an IR command in that bank. However, the
same button can be used to store an IR command in a different bank.
