PROGRAMMING MACRO BUTTONS

A “macro” is a series of commands that can be sent with the push of a single button. There are two types of macro functions that can be programmed: functions involving the M1, M2 and M3 buttons;or functions involving the POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons. Each of these buttons is designed to send up to 20 commands. The 10 device buttons can also send a macro of up to 20 commands when the device button is pressed for more than one second while on the HOME page of the remote control.

Note:

If the POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons are programmed with a macro, they will no longer function as ON and OFF buttons for components. To restore their original on and off function, erase any macros programmed onto them.
