Using Macros

You can program the remote controller's MACRO but-
tons to perform a sequence of remote control actions.
Example:
To play a CD you typically need to perform the follow-
ing actions:
1. Press the [RECEIVER] REMOTE MODE button
to select the Receiver remote controller mode.
2. Press the [ON] button to turn on the AV controller.
3. Press the [CD] INPUT SELECTOR button to
select the CD input source.
4. Press the [CD] REMOTE MODE button to select
the CD remote controller mode.
5. Press the Play [1] button to start playback on
the CD player.
You can program a MACRO button so that all five
actions are performed with just one button press.

Each MACRO button can store one macro, and each
macro can contain up to eight commands.
