nected to the TX-NR901:
1. Press the scroll wheel, (to select AMP mode).
2. Press the [ON] button (to turn on the TX-NR901).
3. Roll the scroll wheel to select CD (to select the CD
remote controller mode and the CD input source).
4. Press the Play [ ] button (to start the CD
player).
With the Macro function you can program the remote
controller to do all of this with one press of a button.
