Macros (sequence of commands)
M
acros (direct)
Y
ou can program your KAMELEON 8 to issue a sequence of commands at the
press of one button. For example, you may want to turn off your TV, VCR and
Satellite at the same time. Any sequence of commands you regularly use can be
r
educed to one key stroke for your convenience. A key that is programmed with
a
Macro works through all modes (provided it’s accessible in that mode).
Therefore a Macro can best be set on either the I, II, III or IV key. However, you
can install a Macro on any key (provided it’s accessible in that mode), except for
t
he device keys (TV, SAT, DVD, VCR, PVR, CD, AUD and LIGHT), MAGIC, ESC,
E
NTER and the SCROLL key.
Example: To set up a Macro that switches off your TV, VCR and SAT on the
“
I” key on your KAMELEON 8:
1. Press and hold the MAGIC key for about 3 seconds. The screen will
change to the setup screen.
2
. Press MACRO.
3
. Press the device key (e.g. TV) to display all keys of the mode.
4. Then press the key to which the Macro will be assigned, in this case
the “I” key.
5. Next press TV, POWER, VCR, POWER, SAT, POWER.
6. To store the Macro, press ENTER. The screen will return to the setup screen.
Result: Whenever you press the “I” key, the KAMELEON 8 will turn off your TV,
VCR and Satellite receiver.
- Each MACRO can consist of a maximum of 22 keystrokes.
- To include a function from a particular screen in a mode,
use the SCROLL key.
- Make sure that you program a Macro on a spare key that you don’t use in
any mode.
- Once you program a Macro on a specific key, the sequence will work
regardless of the mode (TV, SAT, DVD, VCR, PVR, CD, AUD or LIGHT) you are
using (if the label is the same as the label on which the Macro was
programmed). This means that the function picked on that specific key
will be sacrificed.
- To avoid accidental recordings with the KAMELEON 8, you must press the
RECORD key twice to begin recording. Please note that if you assign a
Macro or Shifted Macro to the RECORD key, this will deactivate the double
key press. Therefore we recommend not to assign a Macro to this key.
- If you had to hold down a key for a few seconds on the original remote
control to get a function, this function may not work in a macro on your
KAMELEON 8 remote.
- Keys such as (TV) menu, (TV) guide etc. will not change screen when pressed
during Macro programming.
- Upon changing the batteries your Macro(s) will be retained.
- If you program a Macro on a key, the original function will become shifted
(excluding POWER, CH+/- and VOL+/- keys). Press MAGIC then the key to
access it. If you place a Macro on a digit key, access the original function by
pressing MAGIC twice and then the digit key.
- You can replace a Macro by placing another Macro on top.
