Creating Macros

If you find yourself pressing the same sequence of buttons frequently, you can
record the sequence and save it as a

macro

.

RECORDING MACROS

Recording a macro is easy: switch the remote control to Record mode, select a
macro button, then use the remote control as you normally would when you’re
sending commands to your components. As you press buttons, the remote
control records the commands. A macro can include any variety of commands
for any variety of devices.

EXAMPLE

You can create a macro that prepares your TV and VCR to play a tape. The
sequence of commands might look like this:

1

Turn TV on

2

Pause while TV warms up

3

Turn TV to channel 3

4

Turn VCR on

5

Set VCR to VCR input

6

Display the TV control panel 1

A macro lets you send a
sequence of commands
with a single button.
