Onkyo TX-NR3008 Using Normal Macros, Making Macros, Running Macros, Deleting Macros

Note

•The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 com- mands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot of memory are learned.

•Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, and so on are preprogrammed with commands for controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can learn new commands, and you can restore the preprogrammed commands at any time by resetting the remote controller (➔ 94).

•To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this proce- dure.

•Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may be some buttons that won’t work as expected, or even some remotes that cannot be learned at all.

•Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be learned.

•When the remote controller’s batteries expire, all learned com- mands will be lost and will have to be learned all over again, so don’t discard your other remote controllers.

■Deleting Learning Commands

1.While holding down REMOTE MODE for the mode in which you want to delete the command, press and hold down TV 9until REMOTE MODE button lights (about 3 seconds).

2.Press REMOTE MODE or the button from which you want to delete the commands.

REMOTE MODE button flashes twice.

When you press REMOTE MODE, all commands learned in that remote mode will be deleted.
