Controlling Other Components—Continued

Using Macros

With the Macro function, you can program the remote controller’s MACRO buttons to perform a sequence of actions with just one button press. For example, nor- mally you need to perform the following actions to play

aCD:

1.Press the REMOTE MODE [RECEIVER] button to select Receiver mode.

2.Press the [ON] button to turn on the AV receiver.

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

4.Press the REMOTE MODE [CD] button to select the CD remote controller mode.

5. Press the Play [ ] button to start playback on the CD player.

With the Macro function, you can program one of the MACRO buttons to perform all five actions.

Making Macros

There are three MACRO buttons, and each button can be programmed with a different macro in each remote con- troller mode. Each macro can perform up to eight actions.

On the remote controller, press

 

 

the buttons whose actions you

 

want to program into the macro

 

in the order you want them per-

 

formed.

 

For example, to program the previous

 

CD example into a macro, press the fol-

 

lowing buttons: REMOTE MODE

 

[RECEIVER], [ON], INPUT SELEC-

 

TOR [CD], REMOTE MODE [CD],

 

Play [ ].

When you’ve finished, press the

MACRO button again.

 

 

 

Note:

If after programming a macro you teach one of the but- tons in that macro a new command, then the macro will no longer work properly. In this case, you must program the macro again.

Running Macros

Programmed macros can be run as follows.

Press the MACRO [1], [2], or [3]

 

 

button.

 

The actions in the macro are performed

 

in the order in which they were pro-

 

grammed.
