and delays. This saves programming time and, when working with long macros, makes reviewing the steps in
the Smart Macro Function List less confusing. This is most useful for programming Toggle Macros. An example
of Nesting Smart Macros has been used in the Toggle Macros section for programming a Toggle Macro for mul-

Toggle Macros

I
Toggle Macros are a way of cycling through multiple similar functions such as surround modes or favorite
N
channels while using only one button on the remote. That is, if a user has maybe three favorite audio modes
they like to use, the individual commands for those modes can be programmed into a Toggle Macro using the
G
same process as other macros, but now, when the Macro Trigger Button is repeatedly pressed on the remote,
the MSC-400 will cycle through the list, rather than having to press a separate button for each mode. This
same type of programming can be used for favorite channels. If the user has multiple HBOs available, or just
C
wants to cycle through a few select favorite channels to 'see what's on', repeated presses of the Toggle Macro
Trigger Button will cycle through the channels. For purpose of example, a Toggle Macro of 6 HBO Channels
C
will be used. To program Toggle Macros:
