Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of commands with the press of a single button on the AVR 3000’s remote con- trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out up to 19 different remote codes in a pre-deter- mined sequential order enabling you to automate the process of turning on your system, changing devices, or other common tasks. The AVR’s remote can store up to five separate macro command sequences, one that is associated with the Power On button 0, and four more that are accessed by pressing the Macro buttons K.

1. Press the Mute button and the Macro button Kto be programmed or the Power-Onbutton 0at the same time. Note that the lat- est selected Input Selector will light red, and the Program Indicator 2will 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 2will flash green to confirm each button press as you enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power On of any device during a macro sequence, press the

Mute button . DO NOT press the actual Power ON button.

•Remember to press the appropriate Input Selector button 4before functions are changed to another device. This is also needed for the AVR Selector button 5itself, as long as it’s not lit red and AVR functions shall be pro- grammed.

3.When all the steps have been entered, press the Sleep button 8to enter the commands. The red light under the Input Selector 45 will blink and then turn off.

Example: To program the Macro 1 Kbutton so that it turns on the AVR 3000, TV and a Sat- Receiver, follow these steps:

•Press the Macro 1 button Kand Mute buttons at the same time and then release them.

•Note that the Program Indicator will flash amber.

•Press the AVR Selector 5.

•Press the Mute button to store the AVR’s power on command.

•Press the VID 2 Input Selector button 4to indicate the next command is for “TV Power On.”

•Press the Mute button to store the TV Power On Command.

•Press the VID 3 Input Selector button 4

to indicate the next command is for “Sat-Receiver Power On.”

•Press the Mute button to store the Sat- Receiver Power On command.

•Press the Sleep/Channel Up button 8to complete the process and store the macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you press the Macro 1 button K, the remote will send all Power On commands.

Erasing Macro Commands

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

1. Press the Mute button and the Macro button Kthat contains the commands you wish to erase.

2.Note that the Program Indicator 2will flash amber, and the LED under the AVR Selector 5will turn red.

3.Within ten seconds, press the Surround Mode Selector/Channel Down button 9.

4.The red LED under the AVR Selector will go out, and the Program Indicator 2will turn green and flash three times before it goes out.

5.When the Program Indicator 2goes out, the Macro has been erased.
