Controlling Other Components—Continued

Using Macros

You can program the remote controller’s MACRO but- tons 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] REMOTE MODE button to select the Receiver remote controller 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 [CD] REMOTE MODE button to select the CD remote controller mode.

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

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