Programming Direct Access Buttons Globally
And/Or Locally Per Device
Direct Access buttons are defined as the five hard buttons on the
right side of the screen (Mute, Channel Up/Down, Volume
Up/Down).
WARNING It is possible to teach commands to the LEFT and RIGHT
hard buttons. This is NOT RECOMMENDED. The LEFT and
RIGHT hard buttons are programmed at the factory to
browse back and forth through the last six panels you’ve
viewed. Should you accidentally teach a command to a
LEFT or RIGHT hard button, you will have to use a
Windows PC with RC5000 Setup to correct the problem
(see page 47).
Direct-access buttons can be programmed with a global function
and/or for a dedicated (local) command for that device.
When a command is taught to a direct access button from a device
page, it will only be issued when that device group is active, even if
a command has been taught globally. Local learning overrides
global learning.
When a command is taught to a direct access button from a home
panel, it will be issued as long as the active device does not have
a local command.
For example, one could program the CH+ & CH- buttons as the
Chapter +/- command when the DVD is active. Now, if you
program the TV channel +/- globally (and any device other than the
DVD is selected) the TV channel +/- commands will be issued.
