Common questions

CAN I PROGRAM A BUTTON TO EXECUTE MORE THAN ONE COMMAND?

No, but you can create a macro to execute a sequence of commands. For instructions, see Chapter 4, “Creating Macros.”

HOW DO I PROGRAM SOURCE-SWITCHING?

Refer to the instructions in “To program an item on the Device menu” on page 34.

WHY CAN’T I LEARN/LABEL/DELETE BUTTON ON HOME PANELS?

Home is designed to make it easy to navigate among devices no matter what mode you’re in. The commands in home are set up automatically when you make changes to the Device menu; for instructions on adding, removing, relabeling, and programming items on the Device menu, see Chapter 3, “Customizing the remote control.”.

Although you can’t program the device buttons in Home, you can program the direct-access and Left/Right buttons. The commands you assign to these buttons in Home become global default. For instructions, see “To program a button globally” on page 37.

HOW DO I PROGRAM MY RECEIVER COMMANDS?

There is no separate device template for receiver. However, if you have an A/V receiver, you can use the Preamp device template. For an audio receiver, use the Tuner device template. For an overview of commands in each template, refer to Chapter 8, “Command Reference.”
