CONFIGURING THE REMOTE
7. The next display (Figure 42) 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
) 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 7200 to turn on, so the
Power
Button
1
should be pressed.
Figure 42
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
34
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 43).
Figure 43
9. For our example, we first want the AVR Power On
button pressed, followed by the TV Power On, fol-
lowed by the Cable Box On, followed by the selec-
tion of the Logic 7 mode. To do that, press the
buttons in this order:
•
Power On
1
•
VID 2/TV
3
•
Power On

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 confir-
mation of the key entry (Figure 43).
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
1
, 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
O
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 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 16),
will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button
F
will remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Button
D
three times so that
MACRO
appears on the bottom line of the LCD
screen, as shown in Figure 37. Press the
Set
Button
F
to enter the main macro menu
branch.
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 44), press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button
n
until the bottom
line in the remote’s LCD display reads
ERASE A
MACRO
. Press the
Set Button
F
to begin the
process of erasing a macro.
Figure 44
4. The next display screen (Figure 45) is where you
select which macro will be erased. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Buttons
n
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 45
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.
Read a Macro
To check the commands stored in the remote’s memory
for one of the buttons, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the
Program Button
O
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 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 16),
will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button
F
will remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Button
D
three times so that
MACRO
appears on the bottom line of the LCD
screen, as shown in Figure 37. Press the
Set
Button
F
to enter the main macro menu
branch.
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 46), press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button
n
until the bottom
line in the remote’s LCD display shows
READ A
MACRO
. Press the
Set Button
F
to begin the
process of erasing a macro.
Figure 46
4. The next display screen (Figure 47) is where you
select the macro to be read. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button
n
until the name of the
macro you wish to read appears. For this example,
we will read back the Power On macro created in
a previous section. When the name of the macro
to be erased appears, press the
Set Button
F
.
Figure 47
5. As soon as the Set button is pressed, the first two
steps in the macro will be appear in the remote’s
LCD screen. You may then use the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button
n
to step up or down
through the list of commands stored as the macro.
As you read the display, you will see
Device
Selector Buttons
34
appear in brackets,
(e.g.,
[AVR]
). When the step in the macro is a
function, navigation or any other button, it will
appear next to the bracketed read-out of the
underlying device (e.g.,
[AVR] POWER ON
).
6. When you are finished reviewing the macro’s
contents, press the
Set Button
F
to return
the remote to normal operation.
Punch-Through Configuration
Punch-through is a capability of the remote that
allows the Volume controls, Channel Up/Down buttons
or Transport keys (Play, Stop, Record, Fast Forward and
Reverse, and Skip Up/Down) to link to a different
device. For example, if your TV, cable box or satellite
receiver is connected through the AVR 7200, you will
