in a linear fashion, one step after another.  But what would happen if a sense input went from Low to High in the middle of that and it was supposed to trigger a Sense Event?  It would get "missed".  Same thing would happen if a Marantz AVR was manually turned ON and you had a Driver Event that was supposed to execute a macro when that happened.  If the ZRP-6 was "busy" then where would your Driver Event macro go?  Nowhere.  It doesn't get queued, it doesn't stop whatever the processor is already doing, it just goes unnoticed.  So what would be the point in including Driver or Sense events?

The there are no events with the ZRP-6.

The only thing you can do is issue system macros. Within the system macros you can check the state of the equipment with a driver or a sensing input. That's it. If the power state changes after the driver command/power sense has been checked then it will be missed.

LOL I just realized I posted in the wrong thread.... somewhere there was talk of IF a future firmware update would allow more functionality like Events...  that's what I was responding to.........

I'll chalk it up to the long weekend... :)

well I asked if future updates would allow for sensing input changes on a receiver. But I didn't realize I needed an event for this to really work.

Yup, a Driver Event on an XP-8.  ZRP-6 definitely won't do it now and I'm certainly not counting on it for the future...
