Using Macros

You can program the remote controller’s Macro buttons to perform a sequence of remote control actions.

Example:

To play a CD you typically need to perform the follow- ing actions:

1.Press the [Receiver] button to select the Receiver remote controller mode.

2.Press the [On/Standby] button to turn on the AV receiver.

3.Press the [CD] button to select the CD input source.

4.Press the Play [1] button to start playback on the

CD player.

You can program a Macro button so that all four actions are performed with just one button press.

Making Macros

Each Macro button can store one macro, and each macro can contain up to 32 commands.

	until the [Receiver] button lights
	up (about 3 seconds).

2	Press the buttons whose actions
	you want to program into the
	macro in the order you want them
	performed.

Note:

If any of the buttons you used to make a macro are taught new commands, the macro will no longer work properly and will have to be made again.

Running Macros

Press the Macro [1] or [2] button.

The commands in the macro are trans- mitted in the order in which they were programmed. Keep the remote control- ler pointed at the AV receiver until all of the commands have been transmit- ted.

Macros can be run at any time, regard- less of the current remote controller mode.
