Using the Remote Controller with Other Components
—Continued
With the Macro function you can program the remote
controller to perform a sequence of actions with one
press of a button. For example, normally you need to per-
form the following actions to use a CD player that’s con-
nected to the DTR-8.4:
1. Press the scroll wheel, (to select AMP mode).
2. Press the [On] button (to turn on the DTR-8.4).
3. Roll the scroll wheel to select CD (to select the CD
remote controller mode and the CD input source).
4. Press the Play [ ] button (to start the CD
player).
With the Macro function you can program the remote
controller to do all of this with one press of a button.
