D. Macro Operations
The remote control is capable of sending out a series of commands
with one button press. Any function available on your original remote
control or in the pre-programmed database can be added to a macro
button to completely automate what you would normally do by
pushing buttons one at a time. It can be as simple as "Turning on your
TV and Cable Box, turning the TV to the appropriate channel for
operation with the Cable Box and changing the Cable Box channel to
your favorite morning news channel". Or the macros can be configured
to "Power On your TV, DVD player and receiver, change to the
appropriate inputs and outputs, dim your lights and start the movie
playing". It can be simple or as comprehensive as you want it to be.
There are two types of macro buttons you can use for macro operations:
M1, M2, M3, Power and System Off Buttons
Each of these five buttons are designed to send out up to 20 series of
commands you program into the buttons. Each one is commonly
used to turn on and turn off all of your A/V components with one
button press, but can be programmed with whatever macro you desire.
Ten Device Buttons
There are ten device buttons and each of these device buttons can
send out up to 20 programmed commands when pressed for more
than two seconds. It is typically used in sending out audio input
codes so that the audio receiver will make an automatic input switch
when you press the respective device button on the remote control,
but can be programmed with whatever macro you desire.
E. Favorite Channel Buttons
You can create up to 50 favorite channel buttons in the remote control
by programming the most frequently watched channel numbers into
these buttons. Each of these buttons can send out up to 10 commands.
Please refer to page 14 of the manual for programming the Favorite
Channel Programming.
F. Punch Through Operations

control buttons (VOLUME UP and DOWN and MUTE) while all the
other buttons control other equipment. You can also set up the remote
to operate channel control and transport functions (PLAY, STOP,
REWIND, FAST FORWARD, SKIP-, SKIP+, PAUSE and Record
buttons) from VCR, DVD, LD, CD or any other mode while all other
buttons in the remote control are controlling different components.
Please refer to page 17 in the manual for details.
