Using the macro function(s) you have programmed:
1. Press the desired MACRO n button. The corresponding macro
number will appear at the bottom of the display window, OR if a
macro has been programmed under a function button, press and
hold that function button for 3 seconds. The LCD display window
will indicate the macro number in the LCD window (see Figure
12), or if a macro is programmed under a function key, the status
line will display the macro under function buttons as follows:
Figure 12
Macro under Status line shows:
function button:
LD “LD” as the first 2 characters in the line
TV “TV” as the first 2 characters in the line
VCR1 “VC” as the first 2 characters in the line
DSS/VCR2 “DS” as the first 2 characters in the line
AUX “AX” as the first 2 characters in the line
TUNER “TU” as the first 2 characters in the line
CD “CD” as the first 2 characters in the line
TAPE “TP” as the first 2 characters in the line
DVD “DV” as the first 2 characters in the line
CD-R/MD “CR” or “MD”as the first 2 characters in the line
AMP “AP” as the first 2 characters in the line
2. The macro sequence will begin, and the remote control codes will
be sent from the RC-18SR and the display will show the names of
the transmitted codes.
3. When the macro transmit sequence has ended, the RC-18SR will
return to the same mode as before the macro function was
initiated.
Now that we’ve explained how to program a macro, perhaps the
following suggested example can help you become more familiar
with the process:
(to switch the RC-18SR to CD, then initiate CD playback, and go to
track 3 on the CD)
1. Press the MACRO x operation mode button with the tip of a paper
clip.
2. Press one of the MACRO buttons (1 through 4).
3. Press the following buttons:
n CD function selector, then numeric key pad 3, then transport
control key pad PLAY key. (see Figures 13, 14, and 15)
Figure 13 Figure 14 Figure 15
Note that this sequence will operate a Marantz CD player (or any
other CD player equipped with the RC-5 remote control language). If
you have another brand of CD player, you may wish to check its
owner’s manual to see if direct track selection is possible via remote,
or if the macro sequence needs to be adjusted according to the
programming steps required by your CD player.
4. Press the MACRO x button with the tip of a paper clip. The RC-
18SR will revert to the normal mode (see Figure 16).
Figure 16
5. To execute the new macro sequence, press the appropriate
MACRO button (1 through 4) that you chose at the beginning of
the above programming sequence. (see Figures 17, 18, and 19)
Figure 17 Figure 18 Figure 19
Note:
If you would like to cancel the MACRO function, press the STOP ⁄5
button.
Now, we’ll show you another macro programming example, with
a more sophisticated sequence:
(activate the main amplifier’s power on, switch the source to laser
disc, switch the amplifier’s surround mode to PRO LOGIC or Dolby
Digital, switch on the television, switch to the television’s AUX video
input, power on the laser disc player, and begin laser disc playback).
1. Press the MACRO x operation mode button with the tip of a paper
clip.
2. Press one of the MACRO buttons (1 through 4).
3. Press the following buttons:
POWER ON, LD, AMP, direct function D-2 (Dolby mode) on page
1, TV*, SOURCE ON, direct function D-3 (VIDEO input selector)
on page 1, LD*, SOURCE ON, and PLAY.
4. Press the MACRO x button with the tip of a paper clip. The RC-
18SR will revert to the normal mode.
5. To execute the new macro sequence, press the appropriate
MACRO button (1 through 4) that you chose at the beginning of
the above programming sequence.
n Note that the function selector buttons TV and LD marked with an
asterisk (*) in this macro sequence do not actually send out
infrared codes, but simply change over the RC-18SR’s
programmed memory code banks for those respective functions.
If you would like to clear the MACRO programmed sequence(s),
press and hold the CLEAR ⁄4 button and simultaneously press the
appropriate MACRO button (1 through 4) or function button. “MR1-
CLR?” (macro 1-clear?) appears in the LCD window. Release the
buttons, and then press the OK button (within the cursor control
buttons), and the macro is erased. If you do not wish to erase the
macro, simply press any other button (but not the OK button ).
CLONE mode:
Duplicating the memory contents of one RC-18SR to another RC-
18SR or RC2000MKII.
For a complete home theater system, with numerous components
from many different manufacturers, you may find that you have stored
dozens, even hundreds of different codes, along with specialized
names, macros, etc. We have provided a very quick and simple
procedure that allows you to download the entire customized memory
contents of one RC-18SR remote control into another RC-18SR or
RC2000MKII.
