Input Switching Macros

These macros can be difficult and will vary depend-
ing on your specific setup. Because most TVs have a
"Toggle" input feature, there's no way to jump to a
specific video source discretely. "Toggle" means that
you have one button on your remote that cycles
through all available video sources (inputs) on your
TV.
With a Toggle input feature, you will need to set a
starting point (default input). Since you are most like-
ly watching Cable TV most of the time, you might
want to set that input at the starting point. So you'll
be programming your macros assuming that you are
always on the Cable input. Now, what you'll have to
do is figure out how many presses of the input button
it will take to get to the desired video source, then
how many presses it will take to get back to the star-
ing point. This way, you can use the "B" button to
switch to the "DVD" input, then back to the "Cable
input" and maybe the "C" button to switch to the
"VCR" input, then back to the "Cable" input.
Below is an example of a macro on the "B" button
that switches video sources on your TV to the "DVD"
input. Let's say that it takes 2 presses of the input
button to get to the "DVD" input (from the starting
point) and 3 presses of the input button to get back
to the "Cable" input.
STEP 1 : Press and hold the "B" button and "Mute"
button at the same time until a device button lights up.
STEP 2: Press "TV".
STEP 3 : Press "Input".
STEP 4: Press "Pause".
STEP 5 : Press "Input".
STEP 6: Press "Stop".
STEP 7 : Press "TV".
STEP 8 : Press "Input".
STEP 9 : Press "Pause".
STEP 10: Press "Input".
STEP 11 : Press "Pause".
STEP 12: Press "Input".
STEP 13: Press "Stop".
STEP 14: Press "Channel Up" to save macro.
Pressing "Pause" in between input commands will
add a small delay after each press of the input but-
ton. This will assure that all commands get sent prop-
erly. Much like in the previous example, pressing the
"Stop" button allows you to start a new macro. So,
the first press of the "B" button will change inputs to
the "DVD" video source and the second press will
change back to the starting point. It is important to
always switch back to the default starting point. This
way it sets up the next macro on another "Favorites"
button to execute properly.
