4. Erasing the memory assigned to each function command set: All codes and names, which were previously memorized for each of the functions (such as TV, LD, VCR, etc.), can be erased. Press and hold the CLEAR button !4, and press the function button that you want to erase 2 times. You will see the "FNC - CLR?" (function - clear?) indication in the LCD window (see Figure 5). If you wish to go ahead and clear all of the memorized codes for that function button, press the "OK" button within the cursor keys !6. After clearing the memory contents for that function, the RC2000 Mk w will restore any factory programmed RC-5 codes for the function, if any, or will simply be empty.

ADVANCED PROGRAMMING TECHNIQUES Macro mode: The word "macro" is used to describe a series of specific steps carried out in sequence. For example, a word processing program can use macros to carry out common repetitive typing tasks. During the day to day operation of an A/V system, you might find yourself pressing the same combination of remote control buttons often. The RC2000 Mk w features the ability to "learn" a sequence of infrared commands, and "assign" that sequence to a single button, called a MACRO button y. Then, when you want to achieve a specific result, you can activate a macro button to begin sending out a series of commands. For example, suppose you wish to activate your A/V system, and watch a movie on laser disc. A single macro button could send out the following commands in this suggested sequence: 22

function button that you want to erase 2 times.
You will see the “FNC - CLR?” (function - clear?)
indication in the LCD window (see Figure 5).

any other button.
When you clear all the commands associated with a
function button, all of the learned direct function
commands (D-1 through D-8, pages 1 through 4) are
cleared as well.
