Learning: The process through which a remote control captures and stores infrared signals (codes) from other remotes for later use. Some factors which can affect the ability of one remote to learn another would be code length, signal frequency, type of signal and the amount of learning memory available. The MX-500TMis capable of learning to every button, including the joystick, except the Page, Main, Fav buttons.

Macro: Macros are sequences of infrared commands that are played back, in order, by a remote control at the push of a single button. Macros can be used to automate the powering on or off of your system, playing a movie or changing inputs, or in Home Automation.
