7 . When you are fi nished programming buttons, set confi guration switch #1
on the rear panel to Off. Verify that the commands you entered have been
learned by pressing the buttons that you programmed and observing the
actions of the DVD/VCR.
It may be helpful to program all DVD functions fi rst, then program all the
VCR functions.
Programming the DVD and VCR mode buttons
The procedure for programming commands onto the DVD and VCR buttons is
the same as the procedure for programming the other buttons (see the previous
section), except that you skip step 4. Pressing either of these buttons once
accomplishes the following:
Places the DVCM in button’s mode (DVD or VCR, depending on which button
was pressed).
Selects the button’s next available memory block for programming.
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. An example of a button macro application would be turning
on multiple DVDs or VCRs by pressing one button, one time.
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 or Confi guring using IR Learning, earlier in this chapter, 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 set to
On (up), 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.
