4.The next display screen (Figure 49) is where you select the button that will be used to recall the macro. The choices are the Power On Button 3 or one of the discrete Macro Buttons . Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until 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 50) is where you select the device for the first command that will be sent out as part of the macro. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until the name of the device appears on the left side of the lower line in the LCD display. 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 F when the desired device name appears to move to the next programming step.

6.The next display (Figure 51) 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 Selector 45 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 52) and the subsequent screens are where the actual macro programming take 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 3 or one of the Macro Buttons ) and the indication 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 to turn on, so the Power Button 3 should 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 45 when 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 53).

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 3
•VID 2/TV 4
•Power On 3
•VID 3/Cable 4
•Power On 3
•AVR 5
•Logic 7 O
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 display as your confirmation of the key entry (Figure 53).
10.When all commands for the macro have been entered, press the Set Button F to 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 display. 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 3, 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 display. 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 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 display and the Set Button F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ Navigation Buttons E three times so that MACRO appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 47. Press the Set Button F to enter the main macro menu branch.
3.At the next menu screen (Figure 54) press
⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until the bottom line in the remote’s LCD display reads ERASE A MACRO, as shown in Figure 54. Press the Set Button F to begin the process of erasing a macro.

4.The next display screen (Figure 55) is where you select which macro will be erased. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until the number of the macro you wish to erase appears. For this example we will erase the Power On macro created in the previous section. When the name of the macro to be erased appears, press the Set Button F.

5.The word ERASED will flash four times in the bottom line of the remote’s LCD display, and then the display will return to its normal condition. When that happens the macro is erased and the remote is returned to normal operation.
