Recording a Macro
To record a macro into the remote's memory, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button y for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 24 appears in the remote's LCD
Information Display . Release the button
when the red light under the Set Button q
appears.
2. The remote's MAIN MENU message (Fig. 25),
will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button

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 Selectors d
for that button, and then press the Command or
