[. . . ] If you had any previously programmed commands in this button, they will appear for you to edit. 10 Working from your written list, navigate to the desired device and panel to program all of the steps in the Macro (see step 5 on page 44). Commands - When you touch a button, you will record an RC command step (see page 43). Jumps - When you select a device from the Device Menu while holding down the Left hard button (now called device), you will record a panel jump to the last accessed panel of that device (see page 43). Delays - When you select Delay, use the plus and minus arrows to set the amount of delay (see page 44). 25 User Guide Customizing Your RC5000i Note Use the Scroll arrows to navigate; the tab style navigational jumps will not work. If you accidentally record a tab button as a macro step, it will do nothing because you cannot alias to a button that jumps. Since it will confuse you to see it in the Macro Edit window, it is best to delete it. 11 Once all steps have been programmed, test your macro by pressing the right hard button (now labeled Play). Simply putting in lots of delays will make the macro work, but may make the macro unnecessarily long. Try moving commands, so that a TV command alternates with another component command before another TV command is issued. To move a command, simply select it and use the up and down arrows to reposition it within the macro window. If the macro works with a . 5 second delay, try a smaller delay to shorten the macro. When programming Channel macros, use . 1 second delays between different digits and . 5 second delays between identical digits. 13 Once you are happy with the macro, press the left hard button (now labeled Close). 14 Continue to program macros until you have recorded all that you plan. You are now a Home Theater Automator! 7. Programming Macros as a Device Action It is possible to program a macro to occur when you select a device (the macro will occur both when you press a home button and when you select the device from the pull down Device menu). To program: User Guide 1 Navigate to the Device side of the RC5000i. 26 Customizing Your RC5000i 2 Tap the mode button and press the LEARN mode button. 4 While bracing the RC5000i with your right hand, press and hold the Backlight button with a left hand finger. 6 While still bracing, pressing and holding everything, use a right hand finger to select the device from the Device Menu. 7 The EDIT window appears with the name of your Device at the top of the window. 8 Program your macro following steps 10 through 15 on the previous page. Note In use, you can select a device without issuing the macro by revealing the Device Menu, then pressing and holding the left hard key, then selecting the device. Otherwise, every time you select the device from home or select it from the device menu, the macro will be sent. 8. Protecting Your Work From Changes To hide the Mode menu To prevent accidental changes to the RC5000i interface and commands once you've finished customizing, you can hide the Mode menu.
