CHAPTER 4
4 Creating Macros
If you find yourself pressing the same sequence of buttons frequently, you can record the sequence and save it as a macro.
A macro lets you send a sequence of commands with a single button.
RECORDING MACROS
Recording a macro is easy: switch the remote control to Record mode, select a macro button, then use the remote control as you normally would when you’re sending commands to your components. As you press buttons, the remote control records the commands. A macro can include any variety of commands for any variety of devices.
EXAMPLE
You can create a macro that prepares your TV and VCR to play a tape. The sequence of commands might look like this:
1Turn TV on
2Pause while TV warms up
3Turn TV to channel 3
4Turn VCR on
5Set VCR to VCR input
6Display the TV control panel 1
