them into a sequence to accelerate the input.

run a function, e.g.:
{Dial name} or {Name}.
Turn the button during an instruction.
This volume for the instructions is maintained,
even if the other audio sources are set to mini-
mum volume.
The setting is stored for the remote control cur-
rently in use.
