Using Macros

Atlas Manual rev2 12/27/02 11:08 AM Page 26

With programming,the MACRO key on your Atlas Universal Remote Control can be setup to perform repetitive, time- consuming operations through the press of a single key.

A macro can be used to control a home theater operation, to set a favorite channel, or for other multiple functions you would like to control with one key press (see exam- ples below). Moreover, the MACRO key can hold up to three macros with up to 15 key presses each. The macros are then activated, in the order they were stored, each time you press this key.

NOTE: If three macros are stored, programming a new macro will erase the first original macro. Thereafter, each new macro will overwrite the next original macro.

Example – Programming A Favorite Channel

With so many channels available through your cable provider, you can program a macro that directly selects a favorite channel with one key press. For example, let’s assume your favorite cable programs are on channel 71. Use the following instructions to program a macro for direct access of this channel:

1. On the remote control, press CBL once.

Then press and hold SETUP until the CBL key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

2. Enter 9 - 9 - 5. The CBL key will blink twice.

3. Press MACRO once.

4. Press CBL once.

5. Enter the channel number, 7 - 1.

NOTE: If you have access to over 100 channels, enter 0-7-1. Moreover, if the original remote control required pressing an Enter key to change the channel, also press the ENTER key after the channel number (e.g., 0-7-1-ENTER).

6.Press and hold SETUP until the CBL key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

Now when you press MACRO, you will instantly see the cable converter tune to channel 71.

NOTE: To store three channels onto the MACRO key, repeat the six steps above two more times, substituting a new favorite channel in step 5 (e.g., 7 - 2 for channel 72).
