If you find yourself pressing the same sequence of buttons frequently, you can
record the sequence and save it as a macro.
RECORDING MACROS
Recording a macro is easy: switch the remote control to Record mode, select a
macro button, then use the remote control as you normally would when you're
sending commands to your components. As you press buttons, the remote
control records the commands. A macro can include any variety of commands
for any variety of devices.
