7 Go to other pages of the selected device with the Page Up and Page Down buttons. Repeat steps 6 and 7 until you have copied all the commands of the existing remote control. 8 Press Done when you have finished learning commands to the buttons of your choice. RC3200 returns to Use Mode. You can try out the new IR codes or select another device to learn.
Tricks for Remote Controls that are Difficult
Replace the batteries in your original remote control. Poor battery charge in the original remote will still operate original component from long range, but will corrupt carrier frequency learning. Change distance. Try increasing distance up to 4 feet. Start in the normal 1 to 4, then double the distance to 8 and so on. Use a short Tap instead of a press and hold. A press and hold is only really necessary when you are learning a button that in actual operation you would sometimes press and hold (e.g. volume up and down, fast forward scan). If your system is large and you are concerned about memory, try teaching most commands as taps rather than extended press and holds. The Flicker technique rapidly tap the button while learning (7x per second or faster). This is very useful for difficult volume up and volume down commands from some manufacturers. The Swoop- Start from 2 away and swoop the remote towards the learning remote. Use in absolute desperation, out of sight from anyone who might see you. Reportedly works occasionally. The Flasher Hold an opaque object in front of the remote and remove it then quickly replace it. This is especially useful when you want to capture one part of a macro from another remote.

4. Macro Planning

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.

Making Reliable Macros

If your entire system is new to you, practice using the RC3200 manually for a few days before programming any macros. Youll 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 theater 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 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 wouldnt be very reliable. Heres an example: Your spouse goes out to the local video store and rents a videotape. When he/she gets home, they pop the tape in the VCR (most VCRs automatically turn on when a tape is inserted). Your spouse touches the macro button you programmed to power up the sysUser 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 didnt 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 command, 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.

5. Recording Macros

Remember, 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. 1 Navigate to the second Home page by pressing the Home button, then using either the Page Up or the Page Down buttons.
Tap the Macro button on the second home page to navigate to the Macro group of pages.
2 Select the Macro group of pages by tapping the Macro button.
The buttons on the Macro pages have popular labels preprogrammed for you. Use the page up and page down buttons to scroll through both of the Macro pages to see all of the available Macro buttons.
3 Press and hold the Mode button for 3 seconds. The Mode Menu appears. 4 Tap Macro on the Mode Menu. A message screen appears instructing you to select the button that will trigger the macro. RC3200 is now in Macro Mode. 5 Tap Next. The Macro pages reappear so that you can pick the button that you want to issue a macro.
6 Tap the soft or hard button you want to select as a macro. A message screen appears instructing you that the RC3200 is now recording the buttons you press as macro steps. 7 Tap Start. The Home Pages appears with the Recording label at the top of the screen. The buttons you tap on this screen will not be recorded. From the Home Pages you can go to the different devices or you can press the Extra hard button to go to the Extra screen with delays and beeps. 8 Tap the button of the device you want to go to. The device screen appears. 9 Tap the soft or hard buttons with the commands you want to record. 10 Press the Page Up and Page Down buttons to go to different screens of the same device. -orPress the Home button to go to the Home Pages again. 11 To add delays and beeps to the macro, press the Extra hard button on the Home Pages. The Extra screen appears. Delays Use delays to compensate for the dead time when a component first powers up and will not respond to another IR command. Additionally, short.5 second delays make channel macros more reliable. Use beeps to signal that the macro is finished.

To add a delay or a beep, tap the corresponding button.
By tapping several Delay buttons, the duration of the delay will be increased.
12 Press Stop to stop recording. A message screen appears.
13 Press OK to save the macro and return to the Mode Menu. The existing command of the selected button is replaced by the macro. -orPress Cancel to return to the Mode Menu without saving the macro. The button retains its previous command. 14 Set the RC3200 in Use mode to test the recorded macro. If you need to make changes, re-record the macro from the beginning.
