Using the Macro Function
What is the macro function?
A macro function enables you to program a series of
button operations (up to 16) on the remote controller
into a single button. The series of operations are then
called a macro. For example, to play a compact disc
player connected to the TX-NR801/TX-NR801E nor-
mally, you must perform the following steps:
1. Press the RCVR MODE button.
2. Press the ON button.
3. Press the CD (INPUT SELECTOR) button.
4. Press the CD MODE button.
5. Press the playback ( ) button.
By using the macro function, you can perform the above
five operations by only pressing one button.
Tips:
• If you erase or change the command of a button pro-
grammed in the macro, that operation of that button
will no longer work in the macro. In this case, it will
be necessary for you to reprogram the macro in order
to avoid incorrect operation.
• The codes programmed into the macro will be trans-
mitted at an interval of 0.5 seconds. However, some
devices may not be able to complete one operation in
0.5 seconds and may miss the next code. In this case,
after pressing one operation button, you can press the
same MODE button again before pressing the next
operation button to add another 0.5 seconds between
the two operations.
With the macro function, you can program a series of
button operations as a macro into the MACRO button so
the macro can be executed with just one touch. Note
that for the macro function, only two macros can be
programmed. For example, to program the macro
described above on this page for the MACRO button,
perform the steps given below.
Notes:
• You may program up to 16 button operations into the
macro function. If you try to program a 17th opera-
tion, it will be ignored, and programming is stopped.
• If the SEND/LEARN indicator quickly flashes three
times and turns off, then the remote controller has
exited the programming mode because either you
have made a mistake during programming or a time-
out has occurred because no button was pressed.

Programming the Macro
1
Press and hold down any one of the 8
MODE buttons, press the MACRO 1 (or 2)
button, and then release both buttons.
When you press the MODE button, it lights and
the SEND/LEARN indicator lights. When you
press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button, the indicator
turns off. When you release the buttons, the indi-
cator flashes briefly and then lights again.
2
Press the operation buttons you wish to
program in order (in this case, press
RCVR MODE → ON → CD (INPUT SELEC-
TOR) → CD MODE → playback ( ) but-
ton).
When you press each button, the SEND/LEARN
indicator turns off. When you release the button,
the indicator lights.

Press the MACRO 1 (or 2) button to com-
plete the procedure.
The SEND/LEARN indicator slowly flashes
