28 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Programming the Remote
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR 120 remote con-
trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out
up to 19 different remote codes in a predeter-
mined sequential order, enabling you to auto-
mate the process of turning on your system,
changing devices, or other common tasks. The
AVR 120 remote can store up to five separate
macro command sequences: one that is
associated with the
Power On Button d,
and four more that are accessed by pressing the
Macro Buttons v.
1. Press the
Mute Button and the
Macro Button v to be programmed or
the
Power On Button d at the same
time. Note that the last
Input Selector
e pressed will light red, and the
Program Indicator c will flash amber.
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command
step. Although the macro may contain up to
19 steps, each button press, including those
used to change devices, counts as a step.
The
Program Indicator c will flash
green to confirm each button press as you
enter commands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power
On/Off of any device during a macro sequence,
press the
Mute Button . DO NOT press the
actual Power Button.
3. When all the steps have been entered,
press the
Sleep Button i to enter the
commands. The red light under the
Input
Selectors
ef will blink and then
turn off.
Example: To program the Macro 1 Button
v so that it turns on the AVR 120,TV and
a Cable Box, follow these steps:
Press the
Macro 1 v and Mute
buttons at the same time and then release
them.
Note that the
Program Indicator c
will flash amber.
Press the
AVR Selector f.
Press the
Mute Button to store the
AVR 120s Power On command.
Press the
VID2 Input Selector Button
e to indicate the next command is to be
transmitted to the TV.
Press the
Mute Button to store the
TV Power On Command.
Press the
VID3 Input Selector Button
e to indicate the next command is to be
transmitted to the cable box.
Press the
Mute Button to store the
Cable Power On command.
Press the
Sleep Button i to complete
the process and store the macro sequence.
After following these steps, each time you
press the
Macro 1 Button v, the
remote will send the Power On/Off com-
mand to the AVR 120, the television and
the cable box with a single button press.
Erasing Macro Commands
To erase the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:
1. Press the
Mute Button and the
Macro Button v that contains the
commands you wish to erase.

Program Indicator c will
flash amber, and the LED under the
AVR
Selector
f will turn red.

AVR Selector f
will go out, and the Program Indicator
c will turn green and flash three times
before it goes out.
5.When the
Program Indicator c goes
out, the Macro has been erased.
Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR 120s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices, press
the appropriate
Input Selector e to change
the remote from controlling the AVR 120 to con-
trolling the additional product.When you press
any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red
to indicate that you have changed the device
being controlled.
When operating a device other than the
AVR 120, the controls may not correspond
exactly to the function printed on the remote
or button. Some commands, such as the Volume
Control, are the same as they are with the
AVR 120. Other buttons will change their
function so that they correspond to a secondary
label on the remote. For example, the Sleep
and Surround mode selector buttons also func-
tion as the Channel Up and Channel Down
