Controlling Other Components-Continued Using Macros You can program the remote controller's MACRO buttons to perform a sequence of remote control actions. Example: To play a CD you typically need to perform the following actions: 1. Press the [RECEIVER] button to select the Receiver remote controller mode. 2. Press the [ON/STANDBY] button to turn on the AV receiver/AV amplifier. 3. Press the [CD] button to select the CD input source. 4. Press the Play [] button to start playback on the CD player. You can program a MACRO button so that all four actions are performed with just one button press. Making Macros Each MACRO button can store one macro, and each macro can contain up to 32 commands. REMOTE MODE MACRO 1, 2 RECEIVER 1 While holding down the [RECEIVER] button, press and hold down the MACRO button [1] or [2] until the [RECEIVER] but- ton lights up (about 3 seconds). 3 When you've finished, press the MACRO button again.
