Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of commands with the press of a single button on the AVR 5550’s remote control. 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 com- mand sequences, one that is associated with the Power On button 3, and four more that are

accessed by pressing the Macro buttons .

1. To start programming a macro, press the

Mute button and the Macro button to be programmed or the Power-Onbutton

3at the same time. Note that the latest

selected Input Selector will light red, and the Program/SPL 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/SPL Indicator 2will flash green twice 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 Power ON button 3.

•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 9to enter the commands. The red light under the Input Selector

45will blink and then turn off and the Program/SPL Indicator 2will flash green twice to confirm the macro to be programmed.

Example: To program the Macro 1 button so that it turns on the AVR 5550, TV and a Sat- Receiver, follow these steps:
