Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of commands with the press of a single button on the AVR 120 remote con- trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out up to 19 different remote codes in a predeter- mined sequential order, enabling you to auto- mate the process of turning on your system, changing devices, or other common tasks. The AVR 120 remote can store up to five separate macro command sequences: one that is associated with the Power On Button d, and four more that are accessed by pressing the Macro Buttons v.

1.Press the Mute Button 35 and the Macro Button v to be programmed or the Power On Button d at the same time. Note that the last Input Selector e pressed will light red, and the Program Indicator c will flash amber.

2.Enter the steps for the macro sequence by pressing the button for the actual command step. Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps, each button press, including those used to change devices, counts as a step. The Program Indicator c will flash green to confirm each button press as you enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power On/Off of any device during a macro sequence, press the Mute Button 35 . DO NOT press the actual Power Button.

3.When all the steps have been entered, press the Sleep Button i to enter the commands. The red light under the Input Selectors ef will blink and then turn off.

Example: To program the Macro 1 Button

vso that it turns on the AVR 120, TV and a Cable Box, follow these steps:

• Press the Macro 1 v and Mute 35 buttons at the same time and then release them.

• Note that the Program Indicator c will flash amber.

• Press the AVR Selector f.

• Press the Mute Button 35 to store the AVR 120’s Power On command.

• Press the VID2 Input Selector Button e to indicate the next command is to be transmitted to the TV.

• Press the Mute Button 35 to store the TV Power On Command.

Press the VID3 Input Selector Button e to indicate the next command is to be transmitted to the cable box.

Press the Mute Button 35 to store the

Cable Power On command.

Press the Sleep Button i to complete

the process and store the macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you press the Macro 1 Button v, the remote will send the Power On/Off com- mand to the AVR 120, the television and the cable box with a single button press.

Erasing Macro Commands

To erase the commands that have been pro- grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow these steps:

1. Press the Mute Button 35 and the Macro Button v that contains the commands you wish to erase.

2. Note that the Program Indicator c will flash amber, and the LED under the AVR Selector f will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround

Mode Selector/Channel Down

Button j.

4. The red LED under the AVR Selector f will go out, and the Program Indicator

cwill turn green and flash three times

before it goes out.

5. When the Program Indicator c goes

out, the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 120’s remote has been pro- grammed for the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input Selector e to change the remote from controlling the AVR 120 to con- trolling the additional product. When you press any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.

When operating a device other than the AVR 120, the controls may not correspond exactly to the function printed on the remote

or button. Some commands, such as the Volume Control, are the same as they are with the AVR 120. Other buttons will change their function so that they correspond to a secondary

label on the remote. For example, the Sleep
