Ten Device Buttons

3. Summary of Operations

SYSTEM OFF buttons can be made “system-wide” if they are programmed with macros.

(Note: Programming the POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons with a macro overrides the preprogrammed or learned code on the button.)

See page 26 of this manual for further information. Each of these five buttons is designed to be able to send out a series of up to 20 commands you program into the buttons. One common use is to turn on and turn off all of your A/V components with one button press, but the buttons can be programmed with whatever macro you desire.

Ten Device Buttons

There are ten device buttons and each of these device buttons can send out a series of up to 20 programmed commands when pressed for more than one second. These buttons are commonly used in sending audio input codes when you press the button to go to a device. The audio receiver would make an automatic input switch according to the device button you pressed. However, these buttons can be programmed with whatever macro you desire.

E. Favorite Channel Buttons

You can create up to 50 favorite channel buttons in the MX-500TMby programming the most frequently watched channel numbers into these buttons. Each of these buttons can send out up to 10 commands. Please refer to page 24 of the manual for Favorite Channel Programming.

F. Punch Through Operations

The MX-500TMcan be set up to operate your audio component volume control buttons (VOLUME UP and DOWN and
