Programming the Remote
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.

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

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
transmitted in the macro. In our example, we
first want the AVR to turn on, so the Power
Button should be pressed.
