to select the RECEIVER remote controller mode.
2. Press the [ON] button to turn on the AV controller.
3. Press the [CD] INPUT SELECTOR button to
select the CD input source.
4. Press the [CD] REMOTE MODE button to select
the CD remote controller mode.
5. Press the Play [ ] button to start playback on the

You can program a MACRO button so that all five
actions are performed with just one button press.

taught new commands, the macro will no longer work
properly and will have to be made again.
