(4) new AAA alkaline batteries. To install the batteries: 1 On the back of the a/v Producer, press down on the black battery cover near the indentation where the black and silver sections meet and push/slide the cover off (see illustration). 2 Match the + and ­ marks on the batteries to the + and ­ marks in the battery case, then insert the batteries. 3 Slide the battery cover back into place. NOTE: After inserting the batteries, the LCD screen will enter a test mode, which tests each segment of the LCD screen. This process will last for 10 seconds or until any key is pressed, which ever occurs first. 4 5 USING YOUR a/v PRODUCER Features and Functions The illustration below and the chart on the next two pages describe the features and the functions of the a/v Producer's keypad. The following keys will always have the same function, regardless of which component you are controlling. [. . . ] 2 The display will then change to [DEL (the DAY or D for Daily or W for WEEKLY) and (the TIME of the Sequence)]. The display will change to [DELETED] then return to [DEVICE and the TIME]. NOTE: If, at any time during the set up of your timed sequence, a mistake is made, press the ESC key to return to the main display [DEVICE and the TIME]. Then delete the sequence that was incorrect and restart your timed sequence. NOTE: If you have more than one timed sequence saved in the memory of the a/v Producer, use the MENU ­ key to scroll through your saved timed sequences until you see the sequence you would like to delete. The display will change to [DELETED] then return to the next available sequence to be deleted. If there are no other sequences to be deleted, then the display will return to [DEVICE and the TIME]. After you have set up a timed sequence, you may want to set up a second sequence that turns everything off after your initial sequence. For the example above, after recording the program from your DSS, you can set up a second sequence to power OFF your DSS and VCR. Just repeat steps 1 through 5 to set up a sequence to power OFF your components. 38 39 REPEATING A SERIES OF KEY PRESSES USING THE MACRO AND MACRO2 KEYS The a/v Producer has two Macro keys (MACRO and MACRO2) that will play back a series of key strokes at any time with the press of one key. For example, to set up a sequence that will turn on devices and turn them to the proper inputs: 1 Press and hold SETUP until the display screen changes from [DEVICE x2 and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ]. Press MENU ­ twice until the display reads [CONFIGURE], then press SELECT. This will be the key that will play back the series of keystrokes assigned to that key. Begin entering the sequence of keystrokes, up to 15. HOW TO USE THE SHIFT KEY The a/v Producer has additional features that can be accessed by using the SHIFT key. For example, on the transport keys PLAY, REW, FF, STOP, and PAUSE, there are the following features: SLOW, SLOW+, SLOW ­, X2, and EJECT. If you want to eject a tape from your VCR, press: SHIFT + STOP This will eject your tape, as long as your original remote supported this feature. NOTE: Once you have pressed the SHIFT key, a/v Producer will remain in the "Shift" mode, as indicated by an [S] on the LCD screen, for 5 seconds after the last key press or until the SHIFT key is pressed again. 2 The following keys have functions that are shifted: CENTER: MENU: SELECT: MUTE: PREV CH: PIP: REW: PLAY: FF: STOP: PAUSE: SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT SHIFT + + + + + + + + + + + CENTER = REAR MENU = PROGRAM SELECT = CLEAR MUTE = SLEEP PREV CH = DISPLAY PIP = FREEZE PIP REW = SLOWPLAY = SLOW FF = SLOW + STOP = EJECT PAUSE = X2 or NOTE: When setting up your sequence, you will need to include any keystrokes that would normally be required during regular usage, such as pressing ENTER after entering a channel number when changing channels. (sequence) For example: TUNER + POWER + TV + POWER + TV/SAT (to change the input on the TV to VIDEO 1) + SAT + POWER. When your macro sequence is concluded, press ESC to save. IMPORTANT: For a more detailed explanation of what function each shifted key performs by device type (e. g. , TV, VCR, etc. ), please refer to pages 49 through 61. 3 When the sequence key is pressed, the Tuner will power ON, the TV will power ON and change its input to VIDEO 1, and then the Satellite will power ON. Repeat these steps 1 to 3 to setup another sequence key (MACRO or MACRO2) for your needs. NOTE: If you make a mistake during the setup of a macro sequence, press ESC to return to the main display screen and begin the setup of your sequence again. 40 41 HOW TO USE THE SLEEP KEY The a/v Producer has a SLEEP key that either operates your component's sleep timer or, if your component does not have a sleep timer, it activates the a/v Producer's built-in sleep timer, after you activate SLEEP LOCK (see below). To use the a/v Producer's SLEEP key, press SLEEP (i. e. , SHIFT + MUTE). If your component does not have a sleep timer, the a/v Producer will access its own built-in timer. Each press of MENU ­ will add 15 minutes to the sleep timer, up to a total of 60 minutes. Sleep Lock If you would like a/v Producer to use its built-in sleep timer on all of your components, you can lock the SLEEP mode, as follows: 1 Press and hold SETUP until the display screen changes from [DEVICE and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ]. VOLUME LOCK With the a/v Producer, you can choose which home entertainment component controls your volume. When you originally set up the a/v Producer, each individual component operates its own volume, provided the component has volume control. You can change this setting so that one component controls the volume, whether a/v Producer is in the TV, VCR, or CBL/SAT mode. For example, to set-up the a/v Producer to always control the volume through your Amplifier in the TV, VCR, or CBL/SAT mode: 1 Press and hold SETUP until the display screen changes from [DEVICE and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ]. [. . . ] The SELECT key operates the TAPE MON function on your original Amplifier remote control. 60KEY INDEX (cont. ) 61 CD Functions The transport keys (i. e. , PLAY, REW, FF, STOP, PAU and REC) access the features of your CD Player. NOTE: The SHIFT key accesses advanced features that are mapped under the VCR keys: e. g. , SHIFT + STOP = EJECT. The POWER key operates the same as the ALL ON key of your original remote. 0-9 The Digit keys (0 - 9) control direct track access the same as the digit keys on your original remote control. The VOL +/- keys operate the same as the BRIGHT and DIM keys on your original remote control. The MUTE key operates the same as the ALL OFF key on your original remote control. 0-9 The Digit keys (0 - 9) control direct track access the same as the digit keys on your original remote control.
