C. Learning From Other Remote Controls
The MX-500TM can learn codes from your original
remote controls. There are 26 LCD screens in the remote
control and all the functional buttons as well as ten
device buttons on the main menu screen can be taught.
In addition, there are 31 rubber buttons and a joystick
that can be taught for each of the ten devices. As a
whole, you can teach up to 530 new functions into the
remote control. Please refer to page 15 in the instruction
manual for details.
D. Macro Operations
The remote control is capable of sending out a series of
commands with one button press. Any function available
on your original remote control or in the pre-programmed
database can be added to a macro button to completely
automate what you would normally do by pushing
buttons one at a time. It can be as simple as "Turning on
your TV and Cable Box, turning the TV to the appropriate
channel for operation with the Cable Box and changing
the Cable Box channel to your favorite morning news
channel". Or the macros can be configured to "Power On
your TV, DVD player and receiver, change to the
appropriate inputs and outputs, dim your lights and start
the movie playing". It can be simple or as comprehensive
as you want it to be.
There are two types of macro buttons you can use for
macro operations:
