Marantz RC9500 Universal Remote User Manual


 
User Guide

Macros allow you to send a sequence of commands, jumps, delays
and beeps with up to 250 steps using one single touch.
Basically, you can assign any button as a macro button. However,
it is recommended that you use the macro buttons in the reserved
macro device.
In order to plan your macros, you should understand the
capabilities as follows,
Any Button Performs Macros/Jumps
You can program a macro to be played back when a button is
selected on a device page or Home page. (see page 43)
You can program a macro to be played back when a device is
selected via the Device Overview page. (see page 44)
Macros Perform Jumps to Any Device
The RC9500 has the unique capability of jumping to any device
page during a macro.
You can make any or all of the 250 steps a jump to any
devices. This provides you with the opportunity to give some
feedback to the end user while a macro is being played back.
For example: You can reveal the CD device panel to show the user
that commands are being sent to the CD player, then jump to an
A/V Amp panel to show the user that commands are being sent to
the amp. (see page 43)
You can Add/Create a Status device (located in new devices in
the division named OTHER) and custom label each page to give
the end user more specific feedback as to what the macro is
doing. You can then program jumps to each Status page to
occur during the macro. (see page 44)
You cannot jump to the Device Overview and the Page
Overview page. You are allowed to jump to each page of the
devices.
