This is especially useful when you want to capture one part of a macro from another remote 17 4 Macro Planning i Overview A macro allows you to send a sequence of commands using one single button You can for instance switch on your TV select the external input switch on your surround receiver select the DVD input switch on your DVD player and begin play All this can be done be pressing a single Watch DVD button on your RC3200 Basically you can assign any button as a macro button However it is recommended that you use the reserved macro buttons in the Macro Group since they are conveniently labeled with popular Macro titles However any button except those on the Home pages can be reprogrammed to be a Macro W Making Reliable Macros If your entire system is new to you practice using the RC3200 manually for a few days before programming any macros You ll find that your home theater requires many operations that require multiple steps to do You have to decide whether to use a Macro or simply teach everyone how to do the procedure manually Some macros will behave very inconsistently and are extremely frustrating to casual users An example is turning on a non Marantz home the ater system Marantz builds components that are macro friendly Instead of a single power button the remote controls have a discrete On and a discrete Off button With a Marantz system you can record a
6. Macro that is very reliable from a series of On commands However many other brands turn on and off with a single Power button The RC3200 cannot look at your components to see if they are on or off So if you recorded a macro intended to power up a non Marantz component with a toggle power command it wouldn t be very reliable Here s an example Your spouse goes out to the local video store and rents a video tape When he she gets home they pop the tape in the VCR most VCR s automatically turn on when a tape is inserted Your spouse touches the macro button you programmed to power up the sys User Guide 18 User Guide tem The recorded sequence of power buttons is played back Unfortunately since the VCR was already on it is now off and everything else is on Your spouse sees no picture assumes the macro didn t work so touches the button again This time the macro turns the VCR on and everything else off Frustrating Sometimes the problem is not with a toggle type power com mand but a toggling input command that scrolls through multiple tv inputs There are some great tricks below but sometimes when there is no secret trick you must simply leave the toggle type of command out of the macros and teach everyone in your family how to do some things manually WM Secrets of Great Macros Sometimes there is a reliable way to use toggle type commands in macros Unfortunately
