Navigation Button D until
the name of the button you wish to program the
macro into is shown. For this example we will
show how to program a series of commands that
will automatically be sent out every time the
P

5. The next screen that appears (Figure 51) is where
you select the device for the first command that
will be sent out as part of the macro. Press the

Navigation Button D until the name of
the device appears on the left side of the lower
line in the LCD. For this example, the first button
we want to have the macro “press”
is the Power
On button, so the AVR device is selected. Press the
Set Button F when the desired device name
appears to move to the next programming step.

6. The next display (Figure 52) is where you begin
entering the individual commands for the macro
,
in the order you wish them to be transmitted.
Remember that when you want to change devices,
you must first press the
Input Selectors d
f
or that button, and then press the Command or
F
unction key. Since we want to pro
g
ram a series
of events that occur each time the Power On
button is pressed, press the AVR button. In your
specific macro, this is the first command button.

7. The next display (Figure 53) and the subsequent
screens are where the actual macro programming
takes place. The words at the left side of the top
line of the display show the button that is being
programmed (e.g., the
Power On Button
1
or
one of the
Macro Buttons
R
) and the indica-
tion at the right side of the top line shows the
number of macro steps available of 20 possible
steps. Following the instructions on the remote’s
LCD screen, press the first key you wish to be
transmitted in the macro. In our example, we first
want the AVR 445 to turn on, so the
Power
Button
1
should be pressed.

been pressed, continue to press the buttons you
wish to be part of the macro, in the order they will
be used. Press each button within five seconds
of the last button, remembering to press the

when you are changing
device
functions. As the buttons on the remote
are pressed,
the remote’s display screen will
show the steps in the macro as they are
programmed (Figure 54).

As each button is pressed to enter it into the
macro, you will see the button names appear and
then scroll up on the LCD as your confirmation of

entered, press the
Set Button F to save the
m
acro. The display screen will show the button
to which the macro has been programmed and
the number of steps used, and the word
SAVED
will blink four times in the lower line of the LCD.
When the display returns to normal, the macro

Power On button is pressed. As the macro plays,
you will see the steps appear in the remote’s LCD.
Macros programmed into one of the four discrete
Macro buttons may be activated at any time by
pressing the appropriate button.
