PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 55
ENGLISH
Programming the Remote
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR’s remote control.
Once programmed, a macro will send out up to
19 different remote codes in a pre-determined
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
3, and four more that are
accessed by pressing the Macro buttons U.
1. To start programming a macro, press the
Mute button
c and the Macro button U
to be programmed or the Power-On button
3 at the same time. Note that the latest
selected Input Selector will light red, and the
Program 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
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
c. 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
programmed.
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 Indicator
2 will flash green twice
to confirm the macro to be programmed.
Example: To program the Macro 1 U button
so that it turns on the AVR, TV and a Sat-Receiver,
follow these steps:
• Press the Macro 1 button
U and Mute c
buttons at the same time and then release them.
• Note that the Program Indicator will flash
amber.
• Press the AVR Selector
5.
• Press the Mute c 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
c 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
c 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
U, 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 c and the Macro
button U that contains the commands you
wish to erase.
2. Note that the Program 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 Indicator
2 will turn
green and flash three times before it goes out.
5. When the Program Indicator 2 goes out,
the Macro has been erased.
Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR’s remote has been programmed for
the codes of other devices, press the appropriate
Input Selector
4 to change the remote from
control over the AVR to the additional product.
When you press any of these buttons, it will briefly
flash in red to indicate that you have changed the
device being controlled.
When operating a device other than the AVR, the
controls may not correspond exactly to the func-
tion printed on the remote or button. Some com-
mands, such as the volume control, are the same
as they are with the AVR. Other buttons will
change their function so that they correspond to
a secondary label on the remote. For example,
the Sleep and Surround mode selector buttons
also function as the Channel Up and Channel
Down buttons when operating most TV sets,
VCRs or Sat-Receivers.
For some products, however, the function of a
particular button does not follow the command
printed on the remote. In order to see which
function a button controls, consult the Function
List tables printed on page 58-59. To use those
tables, first check the type of device being
controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the
remote control diagram on page 58. Note that
each button has a number on it.
To find out what function a particular button has
for a specific device, find the button number on
the Function List and then look in the column for
the device you are controlling. For example, but-
ton number 45 is the”Direct” button for the
AVR, but it is the “Favorite” button for many
cable television boxes and satellite receivers.
Button number 31 is the Delay button for the
AVR, but the Open/Close button for CD players.
Note that the numbers used to describe the
button functions above and on page 58 for the
purposes of describing how a button operates
are a different set of numbers than those used in
the rest of this manual to describe the button
functions for the AVR.
