you select the button that will be used to
recall the macro. The choices are the Power
On Button or one of the discrete Macro
Buttons . Press the Navigation

Buttons until the name of the button
you wish to program the macro into is shown.
For this example we will show how to program
a series of commands that will automatically
be sent out every time the Power button is
pressed.

where you select the device for the first com-
mand that will be sent out as part of the
macro. Press the Navigation Buttons

until the name of the device appears on
the left side of the lower line in the LCD dis-
play. For this example, the first button we want
to have the macro "press" is the Power On
button, so the AVR device is selected. Press the
Set Button when the desired device
name appears to move to the next program-
ming step.

6. The next display (Figure 51) is where you
begin entering the individual commands for
the macro, in the order you wish them to be
transmitted. Remember that when you want to
change devices, you must first press the Input
Selector for that button, and then
press the Command or Function key. Since we
want to program a series of events that occur
each time the Power On button is pressed,
press the AVR button. In your specific macro,
this is the first command button.

7. The next display (Figure 52) and the subse-
quent screens are where the actual macro
programming take place. The words at the left
side of the top line of the display show the
button that is being programmed (e.g., the
Power On Button or one of the Macro
Buttons ) and the indication at the right
side of the top line shows the number of
macro steps available of 20 possible steps.
Following the instructions on the remote's LCD
screen, press the first key you wish to be trans-
mitted in the macro. In our example, we first
want the AVR to turn on, so the Power
Button should be pressed.

8. Once the first command button for the macro
has been pressed, continue to press the but-
tons you wish to be part of the macro, in the
order they will be used. Press each button
within five seconds of the last button, remem-
bering to press the Input Selector
when you are changing device functions.
As the buttons on the remote are pressed,
the remote's display screen will show the steps
in the macro as they are programmed (Figure
53).

9. For our example, we first want the AVR Power
On button pressed, followed by the TV Power
On, followed by the Cable Box On, followed by
the selection of the Logic 7 mode. To do that,
press the buttons in this order:
• Power On
• VID 2/TV
• Power On
• VID 3/Cable
• Power On
• AVR
• Logic 7
As each button is pressed to enter it into the
macro you will see the button names appear
and then scroll up on the LCD display as your
confirmation of the key entry (Figure 53).
10. When all commands for the macro have been
entered, press the Set Button
the macro. The display screen will show the
button to which the macro has been pro-
grammed and the number of steps used, and
the word SAVED will blink four times in the
lower line of the LCD display. When the dis-
play returns to normal, the macro has been
entered and the remote is ready for opera-
tion.
11. If a macro has been programmed into the
Power On Button , it will play back
anytime the Power On button is pressed. As
the macro plays, you will see the steps
appear in the remote's LCD display. Macros
programmed into one of the four discrete
Macro buttons may be activated at any time
by pressing the appropriate button.
Erasing a Macro
Once a macro has been created and stored in the
AVR remote's memory, you have the option of
