Using a Macro function
Programming the Direct Macro function
With the direct macro function, you can program a series of button
operations as a macro into the DIRECT MACRO button so the
macro can be executed with just one touch. Note that for the direct
macro function, only one macro can be programmed. For example,
to program the macro described on the previous page for the
DIRECT MACRO button, perform the steps given below.
1. Press and hold down any one of the eight MODE
buttons, press the DIRECT MACRO button, and then
release both buttons.
When you press the MODE button, it lights green and the
SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you press the DIRECT
MACRO button, the indicator turns off. When you release the
buttons, the indicator flashes briefly and then lights again.
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in
order (in this case, press RCVR MODE
→
ON
→
CD
(INPUT SELECTOR)
→

)
button).
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns
off. When you release the button, the indicator lights.
3. Press the DIRECT MACRO button to complete the
procedure.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly.
4. Check to see if the macro has been properly
programmed.
Notes:
• You may program up to 16 button operations into the direct
macro function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be
ignored, and programming is stopped.
• If no button is pressed for more than 30 seconds during the
programming, the SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times
quickly, and the remote controller exits the programming mode.
Resume from Step 1.
• If you perform an invalid operation during programming, the
SEND/LEARN indicator flashes three times quickly, and the
remote controller exits the programming mode. Resume from
Step 1.
Running a Direct Macro function
Perform the procedure below to run a direct macro function that you
have programmed into the remote controller. After programming a
direct macro, you should always run it at least once to make sure that
it has been programmed properly.
1. Point the remote controller at the DTR-6.2 and press
the DIRECT MACRO button.
It may take a while for the macro to finish transmitting, so be
sure to continue pointing the remote controller at the device until
the SEND/LEARN indicator turns off.
Tips:
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed in
the direct macro, that operation of that button will no longer
work in the macro. In this case, it will be necessary for you to
reprogram the direct macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.
• The codes programmed into a direct macro will be transmitted at
an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some devices may not be
able to complete one operation in 0.5 seconds and may miss the
next code. In this case, after pressing one operation button, you
can press the same MODE button again before pressing the next
operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between the two
operations.
