PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

ENGLISH
Programming the Remote
Figure 47
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 48) press the
Set Button
F
to begin recording a macro.
Figure 48
4. The next display screen (Figure 49) is where
you select the button that will be used to
recall the macro. The choices are the
Power
On Button
3
or one of the discrete
Macro
Buttons
. Press the
⁄¤
Navigation
Buttons
E
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 Power button is
pressed.
Figure 49
5. The next screen that appears (Figure 50) is
where you select the device for the first
command that will be sent out as part of the
macro. Press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
until the name of the device appears on
the left side of the lower line in the LCD
display. 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.
Figure 50
6. The next display (Figure 51) 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
Selector
45
for that button, and then
press the Command or Function key. Since we
want to program 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.
Figure 51
7. The next display (Figure 52) and the
subsequent screens are where the actual
macro programming take 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
3
or one of the
Macro
Buttons
) and the indication 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 to turn on, so the
Power
Button
3
should be pressed.
Figure 52
8. Once the first command button for the macro
has 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
Input Selector
45
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 53).
Figure 53
9. For our example, we first want the AVR Power
On button pressed, followed by the TV Power
On, followed by the Cable Box On, followed by
the selection of the Logic 7 mode. To do that,
press the buttons in this order:
• Power On
3
• VID 2/TV
4
• Power On
3
• VID 3/Cable
4
• Power On
3
• AVR
5
• Logic 7
O
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 display as your
confirmation of the key entry (Figure 53).
10. When all commands for the macro have been
entered, press the
Set Button
F
to save
the macro. 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 display. When the
display returns to normal, the macro has been
entered and the remote is ready for operation.
11. If a macro has been programmed into the
Power On Button
3
, it will play back
anytime the Power On button is pressed. As
the macro plays, you will see the steps
appear in the remote’s LCD display. Macros
programmed into one of the four discrete
Macro buttons may be activated at any time
by pressing the appropriate button.
Erasing a Macro
Once a macro has been created and stored in the
AVR remote’s memory, you have the option of
erasing it. You may do this at any time by
following these steps:
1. Press and hold the
Program Button
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display
2
. Release the
button when the red light under the
Set
Button
F
appears.
2. The remote’s
MAIN MENU
message (Figure
26), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button
F
will remain illuminated in
red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Buttons
E
three times so that
MACRO
appears on the
bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in
Figure 47. Press the
Set Button
F
to enter
the main macro menu branch.
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 54) press
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
until the
bottom line in the remote’s LCD display reads
ERASE A MACRO
, as shown in Figure 54.
Press the
Set Button
F
to begin the
process of erasing a macro.
Figure 54
4. The next display screen (Figure 55) is where
you select which macro will be erased. Press
the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
until the
number of the macro you wish to erase
appears. For this example we will erase the
Power On macro created in the previous
section. When the name of the macro to be
erased appears, press the
Set Button
F
.
Figure 55
5. The word
ERASED
will flash four times in the
bottom line of the remote’s LCD display, and
then the display will return to its normal
condition. When that happens the macro is
erased and the remote is returned to normal
operation.
