First, turn the TV and the Receiver to the wrong input, then turn off everything in the theater.

Programming additional delay in the macro is sometimes necessary. Each macro step usually
takes some time, so there may be enough built in delay for the television and the receiver to both
be fully active by the time the input commands are sent. Sometimes the component is not fully
awake. It is fashionable for many modern televisions and receivers to require 5 or more seconds of
warm up time before they are responsive to new commands. In a case like that, you will need to
add more delay between steps.

Again, turn the TV and the Receiver to the wrong input, then turn off everything in the theater.
Point the connected MX-iOS at the system. Select the first step in the list by clicking on it. Now,
click on the
Test
button. Observe the television and the receiver. Did they both switch to the
correct input? Continue to revise the macro with delays or changes in order and test until the
macro ALWAYS correctly turns everything on and
switches the surround sound receiver and
television to the correct input. When the macro
is perfect, click on the
Save
in the File Menu.
Sometimes a change in order can
provide the delay you need.
