Controlling Other Components
—Continued
With the Macro function, you can program the remote
controller’s Macro buttons to perform a sequence of
actions with just one button press. For example, nor-
mally you need to perform the following actions to play
a CD:
1. Press the Remote Mode
to
select Receiver mode.
2. Press the [On] button to turn on the AV receiver.
3. Press the [CD] Input Selector button to select the
CD input source.
4. Press the Remote Mode [CD] button to select the
CD remote controller mode.
5. Press the Play [ ] button to start playback on the
CD player.
With the Macro function, you can program one of the
Macro buttons to perform all five actions in one go.
Making Macros
There are three Macro buttons, and each button can be
programmed with a different macro in each remote con-
troller mode. Each macro can perform up to eight
actions.
Notes:
• If after programming a macro you teach one of the
buttons in that macro a new command, then the macro
will no longer work properly. In this case, you must
program the macro again.
Running Macros
Programmed macros can be run as follows.
