Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR 4500’s remote
control. Once programmed, a macro will send out
up to 19 different remote codes in a pre-deter-
mined sequential order enabling you to automate
the process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The AVR’s
remote can store up to five separate macro com-
mand sequences, one that is associated with the
Power On
button
0
, and four more that are
accessed by pressing the
Macro
buttons
.
1. To start programming a macro, press the
Mute
button
and the
Macro
button
to be programmed or the
Power-On
button
0
at the same time. Note that the latest
selected
Input Selector
will light red, and the
Program/SPL Indicator
2
will flash amber.
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command
step. Although the macro may contain up to 19
steps, each button press, including those used to
change devices, counts as a step.
The
Program/SPL Indicator
2
will flash
green twice to confirm each button press as you
enter commands.
NOTE:
While entering commands for Power On
of any device during a macro sequence, press the
Mute
button
. DO NOT press the
Power ON
button
3
.
• Remember to press the appropriate
Input
Selector
button
4
before functions are
changed to another device. This is also needed
for the
AVR Selector
button
5
itself, as long
as it’s not lit red and AVR functions shall be pro-
grammed.
3. When all the steps have been entered, press
the
Sleep
button
9
to enter the commands.
The red light under the
Input Selector
45
will blink and then turn off and the
Program/SPL Indicator
2
will flash green
twice to confirm the macro to be programmed.
Example:
To program the
Macro 1
button
so that it turns on the AVR 4500, TV and a Sat-
Receiver, follow these steps:
• Press the
Macro 1
button
and
Mute
buttons at the same time and then release them.
• Note that the
Program/SPL Indicator
will
flash amber.
• Press the
AVR Selector

.
• Press the
Mute
button to store the AVR’s
power on command.
• Press the
VID 2 Input Selector
button
4
to
indicate the next command is for “TV”.
• Press the
Mute
button to store the TV
Power On Command.
• Press the
VID 3 Input Selector
button
4
to indicate the next command is for “Sat-
Receiver”.
• Press the
Mute
button to store the Sat-
Receiver Power On command.
• Press the
Sleep/Channel Up
button
9
to
complete the process and store the macro
sequence.
After following these steps, each time you press
the
Macro 1
button
, the remote will send
all Power On commands.

grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:
1. Press the
Mute

2. Note that the
Program/SPL Indicator
2
will flash amber, and the red LED under the
Input Selector
