DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 22 Customizing your RC9500 1. Introduction It is best to proceed with customizing in several stages. The first stage is to teach all your existing remote codes to the RC9500. The second stage is to practice using your home theater system with the RC9500. As you gain familiarity with your system, you’ll notice that many operations in a home theater require several steps.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 23 Customizing your RC9500 7 Switch back to DELETE mode and delete the device if it is not a good match to your component. Repeat steps 4 through 7 until all of your remote controls have matching devices. 8 Switch to LABEL mode to relabel each device. (see page 32) 9 Switch to MOVE mode to re-order your devices, so that your Device Overview page is arranged the way you want.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 24 Customizing Your RC9500 3. Complex Operation? Macro or Help... If your entire system is new to you, practice using the RC9500 manually for a few days before programming any macros. You’ll find that your home theater requires many operations that require multiple steps to do. You have to decide whether to use a: Macro - The entire operation happens in an automated sequence when you touch one button.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 25 Customizing Your RC9500 The problems don’t stop with powering up a system. Often, you will want to construct a macro to watch or listen to a specific source. This may require that both the Television and the Surround Receiver be set to new inputs. Some components have “discrete” commands to select sources (meaning the command will only have one effect on the components, like the CD input on most receivers).
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 26 Customizing Your RC9500 4. Programming Help List 1 Write a list of all of the operation you want to record. 2 Gather all of the remote controls you will need for the operation. 3 Select ADD from the Mode menu. Choose “Copy existing device” when prompted. (see page 35) In the device list, there is a device labeled “Help”. Tap it to add the “Help” device and “Select” button. 4 Tap “Copy without RC codes” when it prompted.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 27 Customizing Your RC9500 5. Macro/Page Jump Capability Macros allow you to send a sequence of commands, jumps, delays and beeps with up to 250 steps using one single touch. Basically, you can assign any button as a macro button. However, it is recommended that you use the macro buttons in the reserved macro device.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 28 Customizing Your RC9500 Macros Send Commands To Your System You can make any or all of the 250 steps send a remote control command to your system. The step is actually just a recording of the location of any button on any device page. To record an Remote Control (RC) command, you simply navigate to the panel and button you want, then touch it. Thus, all RC commands in a Macro must first be learned to a button location.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 29 Customizing Your RC9500 6. Programming Macros & Page Jumps You will do all of your Macro/Jump programming within a screen that will appear after you press the Macro button on the Mode menu page. Before proceeding with programming, make sure that you understand how to move around in the MACRO mode and how to read the RC9500’s shorthand notation for each macro step. (see page 42) 1 Write a list of all of the actions in the operation you want to record.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 30 Customizing Your RC9500 9 Navigate to your new macro device and press your newly named macro button to enter the MACRO edit page. The MACRO edit page will appear. If you had any previously programmed commands in this button, they will appear for you to edit. 10 Working from your written list, navigate through the desired device and page to program all of the steps in the Macro.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 31 Customizing Your RC9500 12 Typically you will need to adjust the timing of the macro. Simply putting in lots of delays will make the macro work, but it 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 and buttons to reposition it within the Macro action list.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 32 Reference 1. Learning IR command You program the Remote Control (RC) commands by transmitting IR (infrared) signals from your existing remote controls to the RC9500’s learning IR eye. To do this, place the RC9500 and the device’s remote control on a flat surface, 1 to 10cm (0.5 to 3.6 inches) apart. For each new remote control, you have to find the correct learning distance. 1 to 10 cm apart (0.5 to 3.

There are two possible ways to add a device: Create New Device Copy Existing Device In the following sections we’ll discuss what these options offer you. Description for the Device Template You will be able to choose from a list of preprogrammed templates “with” or “without” Marantz RC codes.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 40 Reference Receivers are both A/V Amps and Tuners - Since you typically use the two sections of your Marantz receiver at different times, we have separated them into two devices. You will find the amp section in Amp and the Tuner section in Tuner. The Marantz SR9300 Receiver has actually two templates: The SR9300 AMP template for all Preamp/Surround functions and the SR9300 Tuner template for all Radio functions.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 41 Reference HELP - This template is used to create a Help List that will help users through a multiple step process that cannot be reliably programmed as a macro. See page 22 for more information about help lists. Help List panels are a good way to help casual users through a long operation with lots of steps. DSS - Since Marantz does not make a DSS receiver, we included a template. Simply teach the RC9500 from your original remote.
DFU RC9500 Ver1_2.qxd 5/28/2004 10:33 AM Page 42 Reference 5 You can add the device with or without RC codes. Create with RC codes: Choose this option if you have the exact Marantz component listed. The new device is added with operational buttons. Create without RC codes: If you choose this option, the new device is added with grayed-out buttons. Program them using LEARN and LABEL mode. Note When you add a device without RC codes, all buttons are visible as grayed-out.
