Note • The following buttons cannot learn new commands: REMOTE MODE, ALL OFF, MY MOVIE, MY TV, MY MUSIC. • The remote controller can learn approximately 70 to 90 commands, although this will be less if commands that use a lot of memory are learned. • Remote controller buttons such as Play, Stop, Pause, and so on are preprogrammed with commands for controlling Onkyo CD players, cassette decks, and DVD players. However, they can learn new commands, and you can restore the preprogrammed commands at any time by resetting the remote controller (➔ 83). • To overwrite a previously learned command, repeat this procedure. • Depending on the remote controller that you are using, there may be some buttons that won't work as expected, or even some remotes that cannot be learned at all. • Only commands from infrared remote controllers can be learned. • When the remote controller's batteries expire, all learned com- mands will be lost and will have to be learned all over again, so don't discard your other remote controllers. ■ Deleting Learning Commands 1. While holding down REMOTE MODE for the mode in which you want to delete the command, press and hold down TV  until REMOTE MODE button lights (about 3 seconds). 2. Press REMOTE MODE or the button from which you want to delete the commands. REMOTE MODE button flashes twice. When you press REMOTE MODE, all commands learned in that remote mode will be deleted. Using Normal Macros You can program the remote controller's ACTIVITIES to perform a sequence of remote control actions. Example: To play a CD you typically need to perform the following actions: 1. Press RECEIVER to select the Receiver remote con- troller mode. 2. Press ON to turn on the AV receiver. 3. Press TV/CD to select the TV/CD input source. 4. Press  to start playback on the CD player. You can program ACTIVITIES so that all four actions are performed with just one button press. Making Macros Each ACTIVITIES can store one macro, and each macro can contain up to 32 commands. 1 While holding down RECEIVER, press and hold down MY MOVIE, MY TV, or MY MUSIC until MY MOVIE, MY TV, or MY MUSIC lights (about 3 seconds). 2 Press the buttons whose actions you want to program into the macro in the order you want them performed. For the CD example above, you'd press the following buttons: ON, TV/CD, . Note • MODE is invalid at macro making operation. 3 When you've finished, press ACTIVITIES again. ACTIVITIES button flashes twice. If you enter 32 commands, the process will finish automatically. Note • Once you have taught a new macro commands, the original macro will no longer work. If you retrieve it, you will have to taught again. Running Macros Press MY MOVIE, MY TV, or MY MUSIC. The commands in the macro are transmitted in the order in which they were programmed. Keep the remote controller pointed at the AV receiver until all of the commands have been transmitted. Macros can be run at any time, regardless of the current remote controller mode.
