PTIONS
You can programme 10 macros on your A6 remote (one macro on each number button).
OBJECTIVE
Programme the keys of a regular task onto a macro.
EXAMPLE
While watching TV, check the weather forecast for the town you live in.
Tips :
Before programming your macro, write down each step in the sequence (maximum
•
10) and then tick them off as they are completed.
Each button press is considered ONE step in the sequence. Example : if your macro
•
includes going to channel 101, that's three steps in the macro, ie. press 1, then press
0, then press 1.
Macros can include commands from other remotes (like changing input of the TV)
•
You can programme a simple sequence (option 1) or a timed sequence (option 2).
A simple sequence will run the programmed steps without delays between each
•
step (example : press OK, press left button, press LEFT arrow, press DOWN arrow,
press OK.)
A timed sequence will run the programmed steps exactly as they were programmed
•
(example : press 2, press 0, press 1, wait 12 seconds, press OK, wait 5 seconds,
press OK.)
Simple Sequence (Option 1)
Step 1
Press ARC and the number button you want the
macro on for 3 seconds.
Step 2
If the macro includes a button press on the A6, press
that button.
Step 3
If the macro includes a button press on another
device, take the remote for that device, and place it
on a flat surface, facing the A6 remote.
Press the button on the other remote that you want to
include in this macro.
Step 4
Repeat step 2 or 3 for each button press in the macro
sequence (remember you can only have 10 steps per
macro).
Step 5
Press HELP to end the programming of your macro.
