Setting up button macros
DVCM 50 buttons function in either toggle mode or macro mode. By default, the
buttons are in toggle mode, which means that each press of the button initiates one
of the commands saved to the button (each button can store up to four commands).
In macro mode, a single press of a button issues all the commands (up to four) that
have been programmed on that button, in the order they were programmed, at
1.5-second intervals.
To put a button in macro mode, follow these steps:
1 . Ensure that power is applied to the DVCM 50.
2 . Set confi guration switch #1 on the rear panel to On (up).
3 . Program the buttons with the desired commands. See Confi guring using IR
data transfer, later in this guide, or Confi guring using IR learning, earlier in this
section, for programming procedures.
4 . To put the button in macro mode, press and hold it for 3 seconds. The orange
LED above the learning indicator LEDs, labeled “E” on the back panel, fl ashes
rapidly fi ve times, then turns off, indicating that the button is now confi gured
for macro mode. Release the button.
The next time that the button is pressed while confi guration switch #1 is in
the On (up) position, the orange E LED lights, indicating that the button is in
macro mode.
5 . Set confi guration switch #1 to Off (down). Verify that the commands
have been properly learned by pressing the button you programmed. The
commands should be issued in succession at 1.5-second intervals.
Taking a button out of macro mode
To take a button out of macro mode, follow these steps:
1 . Place confi guration switch #1 on the rear panel in the On (up) position.
2 . Press and hold the button that is in macro mode for 3 seconds. The orange E
LED blinks three times, then turns off.
3 . Press the button again to confi rm that the orange E LED has turned off,
indicating the button is no longer in macro mode.
4 . Set Confi guration switch #1 to Off (down).
Commands that have been programmed on the button are not erased when the
button is taken out of macro mode.
Removing commands from a button
If you want to delete a command that has been programmed onto a button, you
must remove all the commands programmed to that button. Follow these steps:
1 . While the DVCM 50 is powered on, set confi guration switch #1 to On (up).
2 . Press the DVD or VCR button to place the DVCM in the mode in which you
want the commands to be erased.
3 . Press the button for which you want to delete commands, then within
2 seconds press the button again. The IR learning LEDs turn off.
Example: If you want to erase the DVD player’s Play function from its Play
button, fi rst press the DVD button to ensure that the DVCM is in DVD mode.
Then, erase the Play function (and all other functions) from the Play button by
pressing it twice within 2 seconds.
