Macros

The “M” (Macro) button, in conjunction with buttons M1, and M2, lets you to program and store up to two sequences of IR Commands (button-presses) of your choice. One press of the respective Macro digit button results in that sequence of IR commands being sent. Any sequence of commands that you regularly perform can be reduced to two button presses (“M” button followed by M1, or M2 button). For example pressing “M” followed by a single button can turn on your TV, turn on your cable box, change to your favorite channel, turn on your VCR, and tell it to record, etc. A total of 10 button presses can be stored under each of the two Macro digits.
