Using the Power Features

Creating and Editing Macros

A macro allows you to send a sequence of commands when tapping one single button. You can for instance switch on your TV, turn on a movie channel and prepare your VCR for recording by rewinding the videotape. The macro contains an action list. The action list can be created and edited in the Macro Tool.

Note Once you have programmed a macro, the button actions will not be changed when you select another brand in the Brand Tool.

In the Macro Tool you first have to select the button that will contain the macro, also called the target button. Then, one by one, you create an action list by adding actions to this target button. You can do this by:

Selecting another button and adding its actions to the action list of your target button.

Adding a delay to the action list.

Adding a beep to the action list.

After creating the macro, all actions you added to the action list are executed when you tap the button.
