changing devices or other common tasks. Thanks
to the remote’s two-line display, it is easier than ever
for you to take advantage of the power of macro
commands.
Recording a Macro
To record a macro into the remote’s memory, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button y for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 24 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display
2. Release the button
when the red light under the Set Button q
appears.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Fig. 25),
will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button
q will remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Button o three times so that
MACRO appears on the bottom line of the
LCD screen, as shown in Figure 47. Press the
Set Button q to enter the main macro
menu branch.
Figure 47
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 48) press the
Set Button q to begin recording a macro.
Figure 48
4. The next display screen (Figure 49) is where you
select the button that will be used to recall the
macro. The choices are the Power On Button
1 or one of the discrete Macro Buttons R.
Press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until the
name of the button you wish to program the
macro into is shown. For this example we will
show how to program a series of commands that
will automatically be sent out every time the
Power button is pressed.
Figure 49
5. The next screen that appears (Figure 50) is where
you select the device for the first command that
will be sent out as part of the macro. Press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until the name of
the device appears on the left side of the lower
line in the LCD display. For this example, the first
button we want to have the macro “press” is the
Power On button, so the AVR device is selected.
Press the Set Button q when the desired
device name appears to move to the next pro-
gramming step.
Figure 50
6. The next display (Figure 51) is where you begin
entering the individual commands for the macro,
in the order you wish them to be transmitted.
Remember that when you want to change devices,
you must first press the Input Selectors d
for that button, and then press the Command or
Function key. Since we want to program a series
of events that occur each time the Power On
button is pressed, press the AVR button. In your
specific macro, this is the first command button.
Figure 51
7. The next display (Figure 52) and the subsequent
screens are where the actual macro programming
takes place. The words at the left side of the top
line of the display show the button that is being
programmed (e.g., the Power On Button
1 or
one of the Macro Buttons R) and the indica-
tion at the right side of the top line shows the
number of macro steps available of 20 possible
steps. Following the instructions on the remote’s
LCD screen, press the first key you wish to be
transmitted in the macro. In our example, we first
want the AVR 435 to turn on, so the Power
Button
1 should be pressed.
Figure 52
8. Once the first command button for the macro has
been pressed, continue to press the buttons you
wish to be part of the macro, in the order they will
be used. Press each button within five seconds of
the last button, remembering to press the Input
Selector
3 when you are changing device
functions. As the buttons on the remote are
pressed, the remote’s display screen will show the
steps in the macro as they are programmed
(Figure 53).
Figure 53
9. For our example, we first want the AVR Power On
button pressed, followed by the TV Power On,
followed by the Cable Box On, followed by the
selection of the Logic 7 mode. To do that, press
the buttons in this order:
• Power On 1
• VID 2/TV 3
• Power On 1
• VID 3/Cable 3
• Power On 1
• AVR 4
• Logic 7 h
As each button is pressed to enter it into the
macro, you will see the button names appear and
then scroll up on the LCD display as your confir-
mation of the key entry (Figure 53).
10. When all commands for the macro have been
entered, press the Set Button q to save the
macro. The display screen will show the button
to which the macro has been programmed and
the number of steps used, and the word SAVED
will blink four times in the lower line of the LCD
display. When the display returns to normal, the
macro has been entered and the remote is ready
for operation.
11. If a macro has been programmed into the Power
On Button 1, it will play back anytime the
Power On button is pressed. As the macro plays,
you will see the steps appear in the remote’s LCD
display. Macros programmed into one of the four
discrete Macro buttons may be activated at any
time by pressing the appropriate button.
Erasing a Macro
Once a macro has been created and stored in the
AVR remote’s memory, you have the option of
erasing it. You may do this at any time by following
these steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button O for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 24 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display
2. Release the button
when the red light under the Set Button q
appears.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Fig. 25),
will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button
q will remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Button o three times so that
MACRO appears on the bottom line of the LCD
screen, as shown in Figure 47. Press the Set
Button q to enter the main macro menu
branch.
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 54), press the
⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until the bottom
line in the remote’s LCD display reads ERASE A
MACRO. Press the Set Button q to begin the
process of erasing a macro.
