USING MACROS
MACROS
You can program your remote to issue a sequence of commands at the press of one button. For example, you may want to turn off your TV,VCR, and Satellite at the same time. Any sequence of commands you regularly use can be reduced to one key press for your convenience. A key that is programmed with a Macro works through all modes (provided its available in that mode). Therefore a Macro should only be set on the Custom keys (M1 – M4). You can install a Macro on any key, except for the device keys (TV,VCR,
SAT/CBL, CD, AUD, and DVD), P, SCREEN, and
FAV SCAN.
TO SET UP THE MACRO MENTIONED ABOVE ON THE KEY LABELED “M4” ON YOUR REMOTE:
1.Hold down P for at least 3 seconds. The bottom of the IR Indicator blinks twice, and a circle appears around P.
2.Press 9 9 5. The bottom of the IR Indicator blinks twice.
3.Press M4. This is where your macro is assigned.
4.Press TV, POWER,VCR, POWER, SAT,
POWER.
5.To store the Macro, hold down P for at least 3 seconds. The bottom of the IR Indicator blinks twice.Whenever you press the M4 key, the remote will turn off your TV,VCR, and Satellite.
•EACH MACRO CAN CONSIST OF A MAXIMUM OF 15 KEYSTROKES.
•TO INCLUDE A FUNCTION FROM A PARTICULAR SCREEN IN A MODE, USE
SCREEN.
•MAKE SURE THAT YOU PROGRAM A MACRO ON A SPARE KEY THAT YOU DON’T USE IN ANY MODE.
•MACROS PROGRAMMED ON SPECIFIC KEYS WORK REGARDLESS OF THE MODE (TV,VCR, SAT, CD, AUD, OR DVD). THE FUNCTION ORIGINAL-
LY PROGRAMMED ON THAT SPECIFIC KEY IS OVERWRITTEN WHEN YOU PROGRAM A MACRO.
•TO AVOID ACCIDENTAL RECORDINGS WITH THE REMOTE, YOU MUST PRESS RECORD TWICE TO BEGIN RECORDING. IF YOU ASSIGN A MACRO ON RECORD, THE DOUBLE KEY PRESS IS DEACTIVATED. THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND NOT ASSIGNING A MACRO ON THIS KEY.
•IF YOU HAD TO HOLD DOWN A KEY FOR A FEW SECONDS ON THE ORIGI- NAL REMOTE CONTROL TO GET A FUNCTION, THIS FUNCTION MAY NOT WORK IN A MACRO ON YOUR REMOTE.
