Set up Component buttons as
Automated Activity Macros
Each Component button can be set up to
send a series of commands to any or all of
the components that you already set up.
Our favorite macro is turning the DVD button
into a “Watch a Loud Movie” command, so
that you can press one button to turn on the
DVD, TV and Audio system. Then all you
have to do is put in the DVD, hit play, and
turn up the volume. No more juggling
multiple remotes and trying to remember all
the commands.
Here’s how you can set that up.
STEP 1:
Write down the sequence of events
you desire on a piece of paper. For instance:
Turn off Cable/Sat, Turn on TV, Set TV Input
to DVD, Turn on DVD, Turn on AUD, set AUD
Input to DVD. (Your steps may vary up to a
maximum of 20 activities). You might want to
do a dry run to make sure you have all the
activities in order.
STEP 2:
Press and hold the DVD Component
button.
STEP 3:
Press and hold the [MUTE] button
until the DVD Component light turns on.
STEP 4:

turn on both the CD player and the AUDIO
