Utilizing FAV- Favorite Macros
Although this is typically programmed as channel or radio station macros, you should
keep in mind that a channel lineup change in the future will require a service call to
reprogram a few pages of channel macros for your client. If the client approves the costs
of reprogramming whenever the channel lineup changes, then by all means program
channel macros in FAV. However, there are many other uses for FAV that will not be
affected by channel lineup changes. It is easy to write macros that recall B & K presets
to give the client one touch macros that reset the tone, enable loudness compensation,
set surround modes and speakers etc.
FAV LCD buttons can do a macro with 1 to 255 steps. Thus it can issue (by
programming a MACRO of one step) any single IR command that is learned or
preprogrammed with one exception. FAV LCD buttons cannot store learned or pre-
programmed IR commands. This makes them incompatible with commands that have to
be pressed and held (like volume up or bass+). However, by utilizing B&K presets you
can recall particular settings for bass, treble etc. The best approach is to program some
useful presets with BKc Suite then recall them with a short two digit macros in FAVS.
The Favorite Buttons are unique because they allow the user to perform functions that
would normally take multiple button presses. These Infrared macros can recall radio
stations, satellite or cable stations, set listening levels, or even control the power of the
entire B&K System with one button press. Normally, these functions would take multiple
button presses.
Use the FAV and PAGE buttons to navigate through your favorite stations and settings.
The CK 2.2 Keypad can store up to 100 Favorite Macros.
