Basic Programming Guidelines
The device LCD buttons on MAIN are automatically programmed

with a navigational "jump" to the device they correspond to.
The device LCD buttons on the MAIN menu should be programmed
with a macro that issues every command necessary to reconfigure
the home theater for the activity (inputs, modes, play, channel etc. ).
indicator
This macro will be issued every time the client presses the button.
This is described in the manual.
Remember to train your power user clients to hold down the MAIN
button while they press a device LCD button.That way, the macro is
not sent, the MX700 simply jumps to the device.
If you are willing to make your own cheat sheet, you can program
the activity macro to only be issued if the client presses and holds
the button.This requires the use of the Advanced Programming tech-
nique Press and Hold Macros on page 44.

Volume and Mute to operate the surround sound processor regard-
less of what device is active.
It has been common in the past for installers to program a way for
the customer to watch TV using the internal speakers of the TV
rather than the surround sound system.There is a good way to
accomplish this on the MX700 system.You could program TV inter-
nal volume on two of the LCD buttons on the TV device.
