aCD:

1	While holding down the REMOTE
	MODE button for the mode that
	you want to learn the macro,
	press MACRO button [1], [2], or
	[3].
	The Remote indicator lights up.

2	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 [ ].
3	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.

1	Press the MACRO [1], [2], or [3]
	button.
	The actions in the macro are performed
	in the order in which they were pro-
	grammed.
