6.The next display (Figure 82) 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., one of the Macro Buttons R) and the indication at the right side of the top line shows the number of macro steps available of 20 possi- ble 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 CVR700 to turn on, so the
