Customizing Your RC5400 5. User Guide 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 since they are conveniently labeled with popular Macro titles. However any button can be reprogrammed to be a Macro. In order to plan your macros, you should understand the capabilities as follows, Any Button Perform Macros/Jumps You can program a macro to be played back when a button is selected by pressing a button on a device page or Home page (see page 41). You can program a macro to be played back when a device is selected by selecting the device via the Device Overview page (see page 42). Macros Perform Jumps to Any Device The RC5400 has the unique capability of jumping to any device panel during a macro. You can make any or all of the 250 steps a jump to any devices. This provides you with the opportunity to give some feedback to the end user while a macro is being played back. For example: you can reveal the CD device panel to show the user that commands are being sent to the CD player, then jump to an A/V Amp panel to show the user that commands are being sent to the amp. (see page 41-42) You can Add/Create a Status device (located in new devices in the division named OTHER) and custom label each panel to give the end user more specific feedback as to what the macro is doing. You can then program jumps to each Status panel to occur during the macro. (see page 33-34) 21
