Programming the Macro Buttons
Macro buttons (M1, M2, M3, M4 and Power) can send out a sequence of up to 10 commands with one button press.
Macros can be programmed in both the AVC and SAT modes but can also be accessed in other modes. If a macro is
programmed in the AVC mode, that macro can also be accessed in the CD, DVD, and AUX modes. If a macro is
programmed in the SAT mode, that macro can also be accessed in the TV, VCR and CBL modes. Macros can be used to
turn on or turn off up to five components or select favorite channels, etc.
SETTING UP
Step 1. Press a Device button (AVC or SAT) and Mute button, simultaneously. Hold both buttons until the red light
under the Device button turns on.
Step 2. Press one of the five macro buttons (M1, M2, M3, M4 or Power) you wish to program. The red light under the
Device button will blink once for each subsequent button press.
Step 3. Press up to 10 commands you would like to include in the macro sequence. Pressing a Device button to change
modes is counted as one command.
Note: The Power On/Off command, for devices other than the AVC receiver, is programmed into a macro using the
Mute button.
Step 4. Press the CH UP button to store the commands. The red Status LED and the Device button will blink twice to
