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 the CD MODE button lights green. When
you press the MODE MACRO button, the indicator turns off.
When you release the buttons, the indicator flashes and lights
again.
2. Press the operation buttons you wish to program in
order (in this case, press RCVR MODE → ON → CD
(INPUT SELECTOR) → CD MODE → playback ( )
button).
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN indicator turns
off. 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.
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, 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 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-7.2 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.
Tips:
• 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-
7.2 normally, you must perform the following steps:
1. Press the RCVR 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.
