6. Programming Macro Buttons

A “macro” is a series of commands that you choose to be sent out with the push of one button.

There are two types of macro functions you can program with the MX-500TM:

The M1, M2, M3, POWER and SYSTEM OFF buttons are designed to send out up to twenty commands from each of the five hard buttons. The ten device buttons can each send a macro of up to 20 commands when the device button is pressed for more than 1 second while on the MAIN page of the remote control.

Important: If you program the POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons with a macro, they will no longer function as ON and OFF buttons for your components. Just erase any macros you have programmed on to these buttons if you want to restore the original ON and OFF function.

See the “Tips” at the end of this section for help on programming macros.

A. Programming Macro Functions To M1, M2, M3, POWER And SYSTEM OFF Buttons

2.Press the MACRO button next to the LCD screen.
