[John Watts]

Thank you for your responces on my question on macros for my Marantz 5000 but i think you missed my problem,i cant work out how to program the macros into the remote control. I've had no problems teaching the remote and it works my whole system well but i simply have not got a clue how to record macros,sometimes the simple things go straight over our heads,i hope this is the case because im normally ok with tech stuff but this one has really got me i need real basic help maybe a step by step,i know your thinking read the manual buddy but i cant work it out please help!<br />Thanks John.

John, are you using ProntoEdit? You can't do macros on the Pronto (nor the Marantz either, I presume) without ProntoEdit.

If you are using ProntoEdit, it's just a case of setting up the actions for the relevant buttons you've designed. These actions can be an alias, a jump, a delay etc.

agree with the other responses.

Remember you don't have to create a macros page. You can just add multiple functions to one button (as described in the other thread).

If the Marantz 5000 works the same as the Pronto then it is possible to create Macros from the remote.

I think all you do is go to the macro menu select edit from the menu and then select the sorce you want to (let say) power on/off, you get a beep telling you the command has been accepted, then keep going until you've entered all your commands.

I'm a bit rusty on the macro set up as I use ProntoEdit now (much easier), but it can be done on the remote.

Can I ask a silly question?

Do you have the manual?<br />I've just downloaded it from<br /><a href="http://www.remotecentral.com/files/dl.cgi?manuals/rc5000i-manual.pdf" target="_blank">www.remotecentral.com/files/dl.cgi?manuals/rc5000i-manual.pdf</a><br />and it tells you on page 24 how to set up macros from the remote.

It's easy to forget what manuals are for, isn't it ? <img src="smile.gif" border="0">

Alanrob, yes, I believe you are correct...my apologies! It's just that you can get so much more out of the Pronto when you use ProntoEdit, that I've never bothered to use the remote without it.

I downloaded my copy of ProntoEdit and had a basic design ready to go even before my Pronto arrived!
