DVCM 50 • Conﬁ guration and Operation

PRELIMINARY

7. When you are ﬁ nished programming buttons, set conﬁ guration switch #1

on the rear panel to Off. Verify that the commands you entered have been

learned by pressing the buttons that you programmed and observing the

actions of the DVD/VCR.

It may be helpful to program all DVD functions ﬁ rst, then program all the

VCR functions.

Programming the DVD and VCR mode buttons

The procedure for programming commands onto the DVD and VCR buttons is

the same as the procedure for programming the other buttons (see the previous

section), except that you skip step 4. Pressing either of these buttons once

accomplishes the following:

Places the DVCM in button’s mode (DVD or VCR, depending on which button

was pressed).

Selects the button’s next available memory block for programming.

Setting up button macros

DVCM 50 buttons function in either toggle mode or macro mode. By default, the

buttons are in toggle mode, which means that each press of the button initiates one

of the commands saved to the button (each button can store up to four commands).

In macro mode, a single press of a button issues all the commands (up to four) that

have been programmed on that button, in the order they were programmed, at

1.5-second intervals. An example of a button macro application would be turning

on multiple DVDs or VCRs by pressing one button, one time.

To put a button in macro mode, follow these steps:

1. Ensure that power is applied to the DVCM 50.

2. Set conﬁ guration switch #1 on the rear panel to On (up).

3. Program the buttons with the desired commands. See Conﬁ guring using

IR data transfer or Conﬁ guring using IR Learning, earlier in this chapter, for

programming procedures.

4. To put the button in macro mode, press and hold it for 3 seconds. The orange

LED above the learning indicator LEDs, labeled “E” on the back panel, ﬂ ashes

rapidly ﬁ ve times, then turns off, indicating that the button is now conﬁ gured

for macro mode. Release the button.

The next time that the button is pressed while conﬁ guration switch #1 is set to

On (up), the orange E LED lights, indicating that the button is in macro mode.

5. Set conﬁ guration switch #1 to Off (down). Verify that the commands

have been properly learned by pressing the button you programmed. The

commands should be issued in succession at 1.5-second intervals.
