Hello to all. I have a Plus Projector and Curtains
which require the "Power" button to be held down
for about 1.5 seconds. Is there a command to
make a button do this automatically?
Being a bit of a wise ass before proceeding,
yes, there is such a command.
But what remote are you using? If you are using one of the older Prontos or Marantz remotes, there is one approach; if you are using the New Generation remotes, it might not be possible as I keep hearing that those remotes automatically insert pauses between codes; if you are talking about using the remote that came with the unit, the command that you use is:
FINGER ! ! ! KEEP PUSHING ! ! !
I need it
to set up a Macro Sequence for "all on" and "off".
The delay want work it or rapid firing of the
same code. Thank you for any response.
The delay want work it ? ?
The Pronto approach is to create a macro from two distinct but related commands.
A. Learn the first command by learning the power command the normal way.
B. Learn the second command by learning the power command where you cover your remote's IR as you start to push the button, then you hold the button down, move your hand away, and learn what comes out of the remote.
A is then the initial part of a long command, and B, repeated as many times as needed, forms the second part. I have heard of others doing this, and did it with a JVC projector, with one A and eleven Bs.
Since the start of A is an "initial string" that tells the unit that a new command has started, a macro made of A several times in a row won't work.
