CONFIGURING THE REMOTE
you must first press the Input Selectors d
for that button, and then press the Command or
Function key. Since we want to program a series
of events that occur each time the Power On
button is pressed, press the AVR button. In your
specific macro, this is the first command button.

7. The next display (Figure 48) and the subsequent
screens are where the actual macro programming
takes place. The words at the left side of the top
line of the display show the button that is being
programmed (e.g., the Power On Button
one of the Macro Buttons ) and the indica-
tion at the right side of the top line shows the
number of macro steps available of 20 possible
steps. Following the instructions on the remote's
LCD screen, press the first key you wish to be
transmitted in the macro. In our example, we first
want the AVR 7300 to turn on, so the Power
Button should be pressed.

been pressed, continue to press the buttons you
wish to be part of the macro, in the order they will
be used. Press each button within five seconds of
the last button, remembering to press the Input

9. For our example, we first want the AVR Power
On button pressed, followed by the TV Power On,
followed by the Cable Box On, followed by the
selection of the Logic 7 mode. To do that, press
the buttons in this order:
• Power On
• VID 2/TV
• Power On
• VID 3/Cable
• Power On
• AVR
• Logic 7
As each button is pressed to enter it into the
macro, you will see the button names appear and
then scroll up on the LCD display as your confir-
mation of the key entry (Figure 49).

10. When all commands for the macro have been
entered, press the Set Button q to save the
macro. The display screen will show the button
to which the macro has been programmed and
the number of steps used, and the word SAVED
will blink four times in the lower line of the LCD
display. When the display returns to normal, the
macro has been entered and the remote is ready
for operation.
11. If a macro has been programmed into the Power
On Button , it will play back anytime the
Power On button is pressed. As the macro plays,
you will see the steps appear in the remote's LCD
display. Macros programmed into one of the four
or
discrete Macro buttons may be activated at any
time by pressing the appropriate button.
Erasing a Macro
Once a macro has been created and stored in the
AVR remote's memory, you have the option of erasing
it. You may do this at any time by following these
steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 21 appears in the remote's LCD

LCD screen, as shown in Figure 43. Press the
Set Button q to enter the main macro menu
branch.
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 50), press the
Navigation Button o until the bottom
