28 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

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 120 remote con-
trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out
up to 19 different remote codes in a predeter-
mined sequential order, enabling you to auto-
mate the process of turning on your system,
changing devices, or other common tasks. The
AVR 120 remote can store up to five separate
macro command sequences: one that is
associated with the Power On Button

and four more that are accessed by pressing the
Macro Buttons

1. Press the Mute Button

and the

Macro Button

v to be programmed or

the Power On Button

d at the same

time. Note that the last Input Selector
e pressed will light red, and the
Program Indicator

c 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

c will flash

green to confirm each button press as you
enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power
On/Off of any device during a macro sequence,
press the Mute Button

. DO NOT press the

actual Power Button.

3. When all the steps have been entered,

press the Sleep Button

i to enter the

commands. The red light under the Input
Selectors

ef will blink and then

turn off.

Example: To program the Macro 1 Button
v so that it turns on the AVR 120, TV and
a Cable Box, follow these steps:
• Press the Macro 1

v and Mute

buttons at the same time and then release
them.

• Note that the Program Indicator

will flash amber.

• Press the AVR Selector

• Press the Mute Button

to store the

AVR 120’s Power On command.

• Press the VID2 Input Selector Button

e to indicate the next command is to be
transmitted to the TV.

• Press the Mute Button

to store the

TV Power On Command.

• Press the VID3 Input Selector Button

e to indicate the next command is to be
transmitted to the cable box.

• Press the Mute Button

to store the

Cable Power On command.

• Press the Sleep Button

i to complete

the process and store the macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you
press the Macro 1 Button

v, the

remote will send the Power On/Off com-
mand to the AVR 120, the television and
the cable box with a single button press.

Erasing Macro Commands
To erase the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:

1. Press the Mute Button

and the

Macro Button

v that contains the

commands you wish to erase.

2. Note that the Program Indicator

c will

flash amber, and the LED under the AVR
Selector

f will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround

Mode Selector/Channel Down
Button

4. The red LED under the AVR Selector

will go out, and the Program Indicator
c will turn green and flash three times
before it goes out.

5. When the Program Indicator

c goes

out, the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR 120’s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices, press
the appropriate Input Selector

e to change

the remote from controlling the AVR 120 to con-
trolling the additional product. When you press
any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red
to indicate that you have changed the device
being controlled.

When operating a device other than the
AVR 120, the controls may not correspond
exactly to the function printed on the remote
or button. Some commands, such as the Volume
Control, are the same as they are with the
AVR 120. 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 func-
tion as the Channel Up and Channel Down

The diagram above shows the button numbers used
in the Function List on pages 31 and 32.
