CONFIGURING THE REMOTE
Recording a Macro
To record a macro into the remote’s memory, follow these steps:
1.Press and hold the Program Button y for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button F appears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 26), will appear in the LCD and the Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ Navigation Button Dso that MACRO appears on the bottom line of the LCD, as shown in Figure 48. Press the Set Button Fto enter the main macro menu branch.

4.The next display screen (Figure 50) is where you select the button that will be used to recall the macro. The choices are the Power On Button 1or one of the discrete Macro Buttons R. Press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil the name of the button you wish to program the macro into is shown. For this example we will show how to program a series of commands that will automatically be sent out every time the Power button is pressed.

5.The next screen that appears (Figure 51) is where you select the device for the first command that will be sent out as part of the macro. Press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil the name of the device appears on the left side of the lower line in the LCD. For this example, the first button we want to have the macro “press” is the Power On button, so the AVR device is selected. Press the Set Button Fwhen the desired device name appears to move to the next programming step.

6.The next display (Figure 52) is where you begin entering the individual commands for the macro,
in the order you wish them to be transmitted. Remember that when you want to change devices, you must first press the Input Selectors d for that button, and then press the Command or Function key. Since we want to program a series of events that occur each time the Power On button is pressed, press the AVR button. In your specific macro, this is the first command button.

7.The next display (Figure 53) and the subsequent screens are where the actual macro programming takes place. The words at the left side of the top line of the display show the button that is being programmed (e.g., the Power On Button 1or one of the Macro Buttons R) and the indica- tion at the right side of the top line shows the number of macro steps available of 20 possible steps. Following the instructions on the remote’s LCD screen, press the first key you wish to be transmitted in the macro. In our example, we first want the AVR 445 to turn on, so the Power Button 1should be pressed.

8.Once the first command button for the macro has been pressed, continue to press the buttons you wish to be part of the macro, in the order they will be used. Press each button within five seconds of the last button, remembering to press the Input Selector 3when you are changing device functions. As the buttons on the remote are pressed, the remote’s display screen will show the steps in the macro as they are programmed (Figure 54).

9.For our example, we first want the AVR Power On button pressed, followed by the TV Power On, followed by the Cable Box On, followed by the selection of the Logic 7 mode. To do that, press the buttons in this order:
•Power On 1
•VID 2/TV 3
•Power On 1
•VID 3/Cable 3
•Power On 1
•AVR 4
•Logic 7 h
As each button is pressed to enter it into the macro, you will see the button names appear and then scroll up on the LCD as your confirmation of the key entry (Figure 54).
10.When all commands for the macro have been entered, press the Set Button Fto save the macro. The display screen will show the button to which the macro has been programmed and the number of steps used, and the word SAVED will blink four times in the lower line of the LCD. When the display returns to normal, the macro has been entered and the remote is ready for operation.
11.If a macro has been programmed into the Power On Button 1, it will play back anytime the Power On button is pressed. As the macro plays, you will see the steps appear in the remote’s LCD. Macros programmed into one of the four discrete Macro buttons may be activated at any time by pressing the appropriate button.
Erasing a Macro
Once a macro has been created and stored in the AVR remote’s memory, you have the option of erasing it. You may do this at any time by following these steps:
1.Press and hold the Program Button Ofor about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button F appears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 26), will appear in the LCD and the Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄Navigation Button Dso that MACRO appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 48. Press the Set Button Fto enter the main macro menu branch.
3.At the next menu screen (Figure 55), press the
⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil the bottom line in the remote’s LCD reads ERASE A MACRO. Press the Set Button Fto begin the process of erasing a macro.
