USING MACROS
The RadioShack 8-in-One Remote includes six macro keys:
M1
through
M4
,
COM MUTE
, and
PWR
. Each one can be set up to perform a repetitive,
time-consuming operation with the press of a single key.
NOTES
: A macro programmed onto the
PWR
key can only be accessed in the
MY
SYSTEM
mode. Pressing it in any other mode will only send a “Power On/Off ”
IR command to the selected device. The
COM MUTE
key can be programmed as a
two-state rotating macro. See “Programming The COM MUTE Key” on page 27.
A macro can be used to control a home theater operation, to set a
favorite channel, or for other multiple functions you would like to control
with one key press. Moreover, each macro key can hold up to 15 key
presses total.
NOTE
: Programming a new macro over an existing one will erase the
original macro.
