The MACRO button, in conjunction with digits 1, 2 and 3, lets you to program and store up to 3 sequences of IR Commands (button-presses) of your choice. One press of the respective Macro digit button results in that sequence of IR commands being sent. Any sequence of commands that you regularly perform can be reduced to two button presses (MACRO button followed by digit 1, 2 or 3 button). For example pressing MACRO followed by a single button can turn on your TV, turn on your cable box, change to your favorite channel, turn on your VCR, and tell it to record, etc. A total of 10 button presses can be stored under each of the 3 Macro digits.

Macro Notes

1.You might want to add “delays” in a Macro sequence (e.g. to allow for your TV warm-up time). Delays can be added by using the PAUSE button followed by the number of seconds delay required. For example, to enter a delay of 3 seconds, press and release PAUSE followed by 3 (in step 4 of “To Setup a Macro” on the previous page). Maximum delay is 9 seconds. It is not possible to have a “0” digit entered after Pause i.e. there is no zero delay.

2.There is an automatic delay of half a second between each IR transmission in a Macro sequence.

3.* The first button in a Macro sequence MUST be a Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.).
