Programming Macros Your universal remote's Macro feature allows you to execute a sequence of commands with one keypress. Any sequence of commands that you regularly perform can be stored as a Macro under one of the six numbered MACRO keys. A total of 20 keypress commands can be stored under each of the six available MACRO keys (number keys 1-6). The commands within a Macro must be programmed in sequential order. A delay of 0.5 seconds is used between sending each command in a programmed Macro sequence. You cannot program a Macro within a Macro. Program a Macro To program a Macro, follow these steps: 1. Program the remote to control your brand of components first. Complete all of the key learning associated with your original remotes. 2. Press and hold the MACRO key for 3 seconds. 3. Release the MACRO key. If the illuminated ON·OFF key turns on and remains on, the Macro Programming mode is active. Note: To abort the Macro programming process at any time, press and release the CLEAR key. The illuminated ON·OFF key blinks four times, then turns off. No changes are made to existing Macros. 4. Press and release the MACRO DIGIT key (number keys 1-6) under which the Macro is to be stored. The illuminated ON·OFF key blinks once, then remains on. Note: If no MACRO DIGIT key is pressed within 15 seconds or if a MACRO DIGIT key that has previously been programmed is pressed, the illuminated ON·OFF key blinks four times and turns off. The programming mode is aborted and no changes are made to existing Macros. 5. Press and release the desired component key to begin programming the Macro sequence. An AUX key can be included in a Macro sequence, using its current programmed code. The illuminated ON·OFF key blinks once and remains on. 6. Press and release the keys to be assigned to the Macro. Keys must be pressed in the exact order they are to be executed. If a key is pressed that contains a Learned function, the Learned key data is assigned to the Macro sequence. The illuminated ON·OFF key blinks each time a key is pressed. Continue this process for all keys to be included in the Macro sequence under the given component mode. 7. Repeat steps 5-6 for the next component mode to be included in the Macro sequence. 8. Once you are finished programming the Macro, press and release the MACRO key to save. The illuminated ON·OFF key turns off and the Macro is now complete. 9. If you program all 20 keys into a Macro, the Macro is automatically saved after the 20th keypress Example of Programming a Macro 1. Press and hold the MACRO key for 3 seconds, then release. 2. Press and release the MACRO DIGIT key (number keys 1-6) under which the Macro is to be stored. 3. Press the TV key. 4. Press the illuminated ON·OFF key. 5. Press the digits 0 + 3 on the number keys. 6. Press the VCR key to put the remote in VCR mode. 7. Press the illuminated ON·OFF key to turn on the VCR. 8. Press the number keys 5 + 7 to turn to Channel 57. 9. Press and release the MACRO key to save. You're ready to record your favorite program with just one keypress. To execute the Macro, press and release the MACRO key. Press and release the MACRO DIGIT associated with the Macro. Your TV should power up and tune to channel 3. The VCR will power up and tune to channel 57. Execute a Macro To execute a Macro that has been previously programmed, follow these steps: 1. Press and release the MACRO key. The illuminated ON·OFF key turns on when the key is pressed and turns off when it is released. 2. Press and release the MACRO DIGIT key (number keys 1-6) that corresponds to the Macro sequence you wish to execute. The illuminated ON·OFF key blinks once, then remains on. Note: If no MACRO DIGIT key is pressed within 15 seconds or if a MACRO DIGIT key is pressed that has no Macro associated with it, the illuminated ON·OFF key blinks four times and turns off. The programming mode is aborted. 3. As each command is sent in the Macro sequence, the illuminated ON·OFF key blinks once. 4. After the last command in the Macro sequence has been sent, the illuminated ON·OFF key turns off. Delete a Macro To delete a Macro that has previously been programmed, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the MACRO key for 2-3 seconds. The illuminated ON·OFF key turns on and remains on. 2. Release the MACRO key. 3. Press and release the CLEAR key. The illuminated ON·OFF key blinks once, then remains on. 4. Press and release the MACRO DIGIT key (number keys 1-6), corresponding to the Macro to be cleared. The illuminated ON·OFF key blinks once, then remains on. 5. Press and release the SELECT/OK key to confirm the Macro Clear operation. The illuminated ON·OFF key stays on for 2 seconds, then turns off. The selected Macro is deleted; however, all other programming functions remain intact. Note: If the SELECT/OK key is not pressed within 15 seconds or if any other key is pressed, the effort to clear the Macro is considered invalid. The illuminated ON·OFF key blinks four times and turns off. The Macro Clearing mode is aborted. 6. Repeat steps 1-5 for any other existing Macros to be cleared. 12 13
