Executing a Series of
Commands
— System Control Functions
With the System Control function,
you can programme a series of
operating commands, and execute
them simply as follows.
1 When the display for
component operation appears
(if not, press the SET button
repeatedly), press the SYSTEM
button.
2 Select the System Macro
number label by pressing the
Label Select button.
For example, when you watch a
video, a series of operations like
the ones below are necessary.
Example:
1 Turn on the TV.
2 Turn on the video (VCR1).
3 Turn on the amplifier.
4 Set the input selector of the
amplifier to VIDEO 1.
5 Set the input mode of the TV to
VIDEO.
6 Start video playback.
You can programme up to 32
consecutive operation steps to
each of the System Macro labels
(SONY OFF, SYSTEM 2-12).
At the factory, the SONY OFF
label is preset with a series of the
system power-off commands for
Sony components. You can
overwrite a system macro over
this label.
If you have set the System Control
function for a component label
(page 40), the execution of the
programmed commands begins
when you press the Label Select
button corresponding to the label
for more than 2 seconds.
The component macro executing
time is variable by changing the
setting (page 43).
While executing the programmed
commands, at the same time that
each remote control signal is
transmitted, the corresponding
label is displayed.
