Using a Macro function
Programming a Macro function
You can program a different macro into the MODE MACRO
button for each of the eight MODE buttons. The macro is then
executed by pressing the appropriate MODE button and then
pressing the MODE MACRO button. For example, to program the
macro described above into the CD MODE button, perform the
steps given below.
1. Press and hold down the desired MODE button (in
this case, the CD MODE button), press the MODE
MACRO button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the CD MODE button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator lights and “CD” appears in the display. When you
press the MODE MACRO button, the indicator turns off.
When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes and lights
again and “M 01” appears in the display.
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to
program in order (in this case, press AUDIO/
TAPE MODE → ON → CD (INPUT SELECTOR)
→ CD MODE → playback button).
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns
off and the display changes from “M 01” → “M 02” → “M 03”
→ etc. When you release the button, the indicator lights.
3. Press the MODE MACRO button to complete
the programming.
The SEND/LEARN indicator flashes twice slowly and
“SAVED” appears in the display.
4. Run the macro to check to see if the macro has
been properly programmed.
Notes:
• You may program up to 16 button operations into each macro
function. If you try to program a 17th operation, it will be
ignored, “SAVED” appears in the display, 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, “ERROR” appears in the display, 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,
“ERROR” appears in the display, and the remote controller
exits the programming mode. Resume from Step 1.
Running a Macro function
Perform the procedure below to run a macro function that you
have programmed into the remote controller. After programming a
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-7.1 and
press the CD MODE button.
2. Press the MODE MACRO, and verify that the
devices operate properly.
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.
Tip:
• If you erase or change the command of a button programmed
in a 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 macro in order to avoid incorrect operation.
• The codes programmed into a 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.

What is a Macro function?
A Macro function enables you to program a series of button
operations (up to 16) on the remote controller into a single button.
For example, to play a compact disc player connected to the DTR-
7.1 normally, you must perform the following steps:
1. Press the AUDIO/TAPE MODE button.
2. Press the ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
5. Press the playback button.
By using the macro function, you can perform the above five
operations by only pressing two buttons.
