MACRO COMMANDSA “macro” command is a series of two or more remote codes issued automatically from a singlekeypress. You might use a macro to automate a simple command sequence, such as, “Turn on the DVDplayer and then press ‘play.’” Or you might compose an elaborate macro to power up an entire system,select a source, choose a Listening Mode, and begin playback—again, all from a single keypress. TheHTR 3 can store one macro on each of its function keys (these exclude the Device Selector keys).NOTEMacros are independent of the currently selected device.RECORDING MACROSTo record a macro, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the [MACRO] key and the HTR 3function key to which you wish to assign the macro, until the status LED turns green. The macrobutton will also light up.Press the sequence of function keys to be recorded into the macro, being sure to first press therequisite Device Selector key for each function (you may switch devices while recording the macro asmany times as necessary), allowing you to create macro containing commands from more than oneDevice Selector “page.”When you have finished entering the desired command sequence, press [MACRO] againto store the macro; the Learn LED and [MACRO] key illumination will turn off.NOTEEach macro can store a maximum of 64 command steps. If you exceed this number, the macro willbe stored automatically after the 64th command is added.Example: Record a Macro to the [0] key to Turn on the T 775, Select “Input 1” (Source 1), andCommence Playback of connected Source 1 device (as in DVD player):• On the HTR 3, simultaneously press-and-hold [MACRO] and [0] (numeric zero); the Learn LED turnssteady green.• Press [AMP]; press [ON]; press [1] (“Input or Source 1”); press [DVD]; press [ ] (Play) - the Learn LEDblinks as each step is added.• Press [MACRO] again to exit the macro-record mode.To clear a macro, perform the above steps without entering any functions.EXECUTING MACROSTo execute a macro, press and release [MACRO]; its key illumination lights for 5 seconds. While itremains lit, press an HTR 3 key to which a macro has previously been stored.The corresponding macro will run; as each step executes, its “parent” Device Selector’s key flashes lightsbriefly; when execution is finished, the [MACRO] key illumination goes out. Pressing any other HTR 3key while a macro is executing will abort the macro. Remember that you must hold the HTR 3 so thatits infrared emitter can activate the target components.NOTEWhen a macro executes, a 1 second delay is automatically inserted between its commands. Ifyou need more than a 1 second delay between particular commands—for example, to permit acomponent to power up completely—you can record “empty” steps into the macro by changingDevice Selector “pages” without entering actual command functions.BUTTON ILLUMINATION TIMEOUTThe HTR 3’s key-illumination can be set to remain lit for 0-9 seconds. The default value is 2 seconds. Toset the illumination timeout, simultaneously press-and-hold for 3 seconds both the HTR 3’s [DISP] andthe [0-9] key, with the digit corresponding to the desired timeout duration; the Learn LED will flashtwice to confirm the new setting. When set to zero, the illumination will not turn on at all.NOTEKey illumination is the biggest drain on the HTR 3’s batteries. A short key-illumination timeout willextend battery life appreciably; turning it off altogether (set it to 0 seconds) will lengthen it stillfurther.OPERATIONUSING THE HTR 3 REMOTE CONTROL8ENGLISH FRANÇAIS ESPAÑOL ITALIANO DEUTSCH NEDERLANDS SVENSKA РУССКИЙ
