Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR 4500’s remote
control. Once programmed, a macro will send out
up to 19 different remote codes in a pre-deter-
mined sequential order enabling you to automate
the process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The AVR’s
remote can store up to five separate macro com-
mand sequences, one that is associated with the
Power On button
0, and four more that are
accessed by pressing the Macro buttons T.
1. To start programming a macro, press the
Mute button
f and the Macro button T
to be programmed or the Power-On button
0 at the same time. Note that the latest
selected Input Selector will light red, and the
Program/SPL Indicator
2 will flash amber.
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command
step. Although the macro may contain up to 19
steps, each button press, including those used to
change devices, counts as a step.
The Program/SPL Indicator
2 will flash
green twice to confirm each button press as you
enter commands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power On
of any device during a macro sequence, press the
Mute button
f. DO NOT press the Power ON
button 3.
• Remember to press the appropriate Input
Selector button
4 before functions are
changed to another device. This is also needed
for the AVR Selector button
5 itself, as long
as it’s not lit red and AVR functions shall be pro-
grammed.
3. When all the steps have been entered, press
the Sleep button
9 to enter the commands.
The red light under the Input Selector
45 will blink and then turn off and the
Program/SPL Indicator
2 will flash green
twice to confirm the macro to be programmed.
Example: To program the Macro 1 T button
so that it turns on the AVR 4500, TV and a Sat-
Receiver, follow these steps:
• Press the Macro 1 button
T and Mute f
buttons at the same time and then release them.
• Note that the Program/SPL Indicator will
flash amber.
• Press the AVR Selector
5.
• Press the Mute f button to store the AVR’s
power on command.
• Press the VID 2 Input Selector button
4 to
indicate the next command is for “TV”.
• Press the Mute
f button to store the TV
Power On Command.
• Press the VID 3 Input Selector button 4
to indicate the next command is for “Sat-
Receiver”.
• Press the Mute
f button to store the Sat-
Receiver Power On command.
• Press the Sleep/Channel Up button
9 to
complete the process and store the macro
sequence.
After following these steps, each time you press
the Macro 1 button
T, the remote will send
all Power On commands.
Erasing Macro Commands
To remove the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:
1. Press the Mute button f and the Macro
button T that contains the commands you
wish to erase.
2. Note that the Program/SPL Indicator 2
will flash amber, and the red LED under the
Input Selector
45 last used will turn on.
3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround
Mode Selector/Channel Down button
A.
4. The red LED under the Selector will go out,
and the Program/SPL Indicator
2 will turn
green and flash three times before it goes out.
5. When the Program/SPL Indicator 2 goes
out, the Macro has been erased.
