OWNER'S MANUAL USING MACROS The RadioShack 8-in-One Remote includes six macro keys: M1 through M4, COM MUTE, and PWR. Each one can be set up to perform a repetitive, time-consuming operation with the press of a single key. NOTES: A macro programmed onto the PWR key can only be accessed in the MY SYSTEM mode. Pressing it in any other mode will only send a "Power On/Off " IR command to the selected device. The COM MUTE key can be programmed as a two-state rotating macro. See "Programming The COM MUTE Key" on page 27. A macro can be used to control a home theater operation, to set a favorite channel, or for other multiple functions you would like to control with one key press. Moreover, each macro key can hold up to 15 key presses total. NOTE: Programming a new macro over an existing one will erase the original macro. PROGRAMMING A FAVORITE CHANNEL MACRO With so many channels available on your cable or satellite system, you can program a macro that directly selects a favorite channel with one key press. For example, let's assume your favorite cable programs are on channel 71. Use the following instructions to program a macro for direct access of this channel: NOTE: The following example assumes all equipment is turned off and that the TV is connected through the Cable Box with TV tuning set to channel 3. 1. Press and hold P until the bottom IR segment flashes twice. The program keys will appear: 2. Press above MACRO once. The Macro programming screen will appear: 3. Press an open macro key (e.g., M1, M2, M3, or M4). The last-selected device menu screen, including , will be displayed. 4. Enter a desired macro sequence of up to 15 key presses. For this example, press TV once, followed by PWR once, and then enter 0 3 for the TV's channel number. Next, press CBL once, followed by PWR once, and then enter 0 7 1 for the Cable Box's channel number. continued on next page... Using Macros 25
