Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR 3000's remote con-
trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out
up to 19 different remote codes in a pre-deter-
mined sequential order enabling you to automate
the process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The AVR's remote
can store up to five separate macro command
sequences, one that is associated with the Power
On button , and four more that are accessed
by pressing the Macro buttons
1. Press the Mute button and the Macro
button to be programmed or the Power-On
button at the same time. Note that the lat-
est selected Input Selector will light red, and
the Program/SPL Indicator

2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command step.
Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps,
each button press, including those used to
change devices, counts as a step. The
Program/SPL Indicator will flash green to
confirm each button press as you enter com-
mands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power On of
any device during a macro sequence, press the
Mute button . DO NOT press the actual
Power ON button.
