Performing several commands in sequence automatically (Macro Play) The Macro Play function lets you link several IR codes in a sequential order as a single command. The remote provides 2 macro lists (M1 and M2). You can specify up to 10 IR codes for each macro list. Setting the sequence of IR codes 1 Press M1 (or M2) while holding down RM SET UP. The indicator lights up. 2 Press the numeric buttons to select the macro step number. For example, to program step 1, press 1. The indicator flashes slowly. 3 Point the remote control code receiver section of the remote towards the receiver/transmitter on the remote control to be learned. 4 Press the appropriate button on the remote control to be learned to send the remote button code. Lightly pressing the button once should be sufficient. If learning is completed successfully, the indicator slowly flashes twice and the remote automatically exits the learning mode. When learning is not completed successfully, the indicator flashes 4 times in quick succession and the procedure returns to step 4. 5 Repeat steps 1 through 4 to program up to 10 IR codes. Tip If programming is unsuccessful, check the following: - If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the batteries are weak. Replace both batteries. - If the indicator lights up 4 times in quick succession in step 3, an error has occurred. Start again from step 1. To cancel programming Press RM SET UP during any step. The remote automatically exits the macro setting mode. To delay the output of an IR code Start over from step 1. In step 3, • Press M1 (TV/SAT) when the macro setting is M1. • Press M2 (MD/TAPE) when the macro setting is M2. 1 second delay is programmed at this program step. The indicator lights up twice slowly, then the remote automatically exits the macro setting mode. To clear the programmed IR codes Clear each macro step individually. In step 3, • Press M1 (TV/SAT) when the macro setting is M1. • Press M2 (MD/TAPE) when the macro setting is M2. The IR code is cleared. The indicator lights up twice slowly, then the remote automatically exits the macro setting mode. To start macro play Press M1 (TV/SAT) or M2 (MD/TAPE) while the ALT indicator turns on. Note If the Macro Play function does not work properly, program a delay between each operation. See "To delay the output of an IR code". 55GB Operations Using the Remote RM-AAL001
