Controlling Other Components

—Continued

You can program the remote controller’s MACRO but-
tons to perform a sequence of remote control actions.

Example:
To play a CD you typically need to perform the follow-
ing actions:
1. Press the [RECEIVER] button to select the Receiver

remote controller mode.

2. Press the [ON/STANDBY] button to turn on the AV

receiver/AV amplifier.

3. Press the [CD] button to select the CD input source.
4. Press the Play [

] button to start playback on the

CD player.

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

Making Macros

Each MACRO button can store one macro, and each
macro can contain up to 32 commands.

Note:
If any of the buttons you used to make a macro are taught
new commands, the macro will no longer work properly
and will have to be made again.
