Ending with a specific device: You can tell the remote control to end the macro by displaying the control panels for a particular device. While still in Record mode, open the Device menu. Hold down the Left button (labeled DEVICE), and tap the device you want. The device gets added to the end of the macro as a “Go” command. In addition, the remote control automatically records the device’s source-switching command and inserts the command just before the Go command. (You can remove the source-switching command later if you don’t want the source to be switched.)

You can only stored one Go command per macro, and it is always the last command, even if you later add commands to the macro.

Adding delays: When you’re done recording, you can add one or more delays to the macro. A delay tells the macro to pause for a second or two before continuing. After turning on a device, you should insert a delay before sending the device any more commands. (Devices must sometimes “warm up” before they’re ready to receive infrared commands.)

NOTE The buttons on Home panels can’t be included in macros. However, you can use them to navigate while you’re recording a macro.
