Macros
The Macro feature lets you execute a sequence of commands
with one keypress. Any sequence of commands that you
regularly perform (up to a maximum of 15 per macro) can be
stored as a Macro under one of the 1–8 number keys (up to 8
macros).
Programming a Macro
Important: Before you start, make sure your remote is
programmed to control your devices and that you’ve learned all
the keys you want to learn from your original remotes.
1. Press and hold the MACRO key until
the POWER key turns on and remains
on. The remote is now in Macro
Programming mode.
2. Press the number key (1–8) you want
to use for this macro. The POWER key
blinks once, then remains on.
Note: If you do not press a macro number
key within 15 seconds (or if you press a
macro number key that already has a
macro programmed), the POWER key
blinks four times and turns off. The remote
exits macro programming mode, and no
changes are made to existing Macros.
3. Press the device key for the first device you use in the
macro. The POWER key blinks once and remains on.
4. Press each key you want to use in this Macro, in the exact
order the keys would be pressed if you were executing the
sequence yourself. The POWER key blinks each time a key is
pressed. Continue this process for all keys to be included in
the Macro sequence under the given component mode.
Important: If you are using different devices in this macro, you
must press each device key before you start pressing the keys
for that device. For example, if you’re turning on the TV, then
playing a DVD, you must press the TV key, then POWER, then
DVD•VCR, then PLAY.
5. Once you are finished programming the Macro, press the
MACRO key to save it. The POWER key illumination turns
off, and the Macro is now ready to use.
Notes: To exit Macro programming at any time, press the
EXIT key. The POWER key blinks four times, then turns off. No
changes are made to existing Macros.
If you press a key that has a Learned function, the Learned
function is assigned to the Macro sequence.
If you program all 15 keys into a Macro, the Macro is
automatically saved after the 15th keypress.
The commands within a Macro must be programmed in
sequential order. A delay of 0.5 seconds is used between
sending each command in a programmed Macro sequence.
You cannot program a Macro within a Macro.
Using a Macro
1. Press the MACRO key.
2. Press the number key assigned to the Macro sequence you
want to execute. The POWER key blinks once, then remains
on.
As the remote sends each command in the Macro sequence,
the POWER key blinks once. After the remote sends the last
command in the Macro sequence, the POWER key illumination
turns off.
