How Do I Perform Several Actions at Once?
Using Macros
Once you have defined macros, you can use them directly from the basic
menus (HOME1, HOME2) for one-touch operation of several devices.
The VR-5900 has
“
Perfect Macro
”
capability. This senses if video devices
connected via the composite jacks, or video monitors with an optional
power sensing device attached are on or off, and will ensure that the macro
works properly.
Perfect Macro is available only with devices connected to the composite
video jacks.
For example, you create a Video On macro where PowerTouch III turns
the receiver and all of your video devices on. If your TV is already on
when you run the macro, Perfect Macro will keep it on.
To turn the device power ON or OFF with the macro function, it is re-
quired that the receiver is turned ON. For example, if a macro attempts to
turn the receiver OFF then turn a device OFF, the device cannot be turned
OFF by executing such a macro.
For more information about using a TV power sensing device, see Chap-
ter Four of the
Connections and Setup Guide

There are two ways to use the macros you defined:
•
from the Macro Summary menu, which displays all the available
macros
•
from the More screen for each device, which displays the macros as-
sociated with that device
