IR command codes in sequential order for execution as
a single command. You can specify the IR codes from
both the preset and user IR code lists. The macros can
then be executed either manually (by selecting them
from the FUNCTION SELECT menu) or automatically
(by specifying them in the AUTO START SETTING
menu (see page 42)).
