learning to every button, including the joystick, except the
Page, Main, Fav buttons.
Macro: Macros are sequences of infrared commands that
are played back, in order, by a remote control at the push of

changing inputs, or in Home Automation.
Memory: The amount of space included on a remote
control for storing all settings, such as preprogrammed
codes, learned signals, macros, and more. The MX-500 TM
has a large memory reserve for learning new codes.
