10. Macros programmed into one of the three discrete Macro
buttons may be activated at any time by pressing the appropri-
ate button. As the macro plays, you will see the steps appear
in the remote’s LCD.
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
Rem Menu Button for about 3 seconds
while the message HOLD BUTTON FOR 3 SECONDS
appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display 2. Release
the button when the red light under the
Set Button H appears.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message will appear in the LCD
and the
Set Button H will remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Button F three times so that MACRO appears
on the bottom line of the LCD screen. Press the
Set Button H
to enter the macro menu branch.
3. At the next menu screen, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button F
until the bottom line in the remote’s LCD reads ERASE A
MACRO. Press the
Set Button H to begin the process of
erasing a macro (
Figure 109).
Figure 109.
4. The next display screen (Figure 110) is where you select which
macro will be erased. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button F until
the number of the macro (M1, M2, M3) you wish to erase
appears. For this example we will erase Macro 1 created in the
previous section. When the name of the macro to be erased
appears, press the
Set Button H.
Figure 110.
5. The word ERASED will flash four times in the bottom line of
the remote’s LCD, 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 macro buttons, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the
Rem Menu Button for about 3 seconds
while the message HOLD BUTTON FOR 3 SECONDS appears
in the remote’s LCD
Information Display 2. Release the but-
ton when the red light under the
Set Button H appears.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message will appear in the LCD
and the
Set Button H will remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Button F three times so that MACRO appears
on the bottom line of the LCD screen. Press the
Set Button H
to enter the main macro menu branch.
Figure 106.
6. The next display (Figure 107) 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
Macro 1 Button ) and the
indication on the right side of the top line shows the number of
macro steps available, of 20 possible steps. Following the instruc-
tions 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
AVR21EN to turn on, so the
AVR ON Button 1 should be pressed.
Figure 107.
7. 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 5 seconds
of the last button, remembering to press an
Input Selector 3
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 108).
Figure 108.
8. 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 channel 201. To do that,
press the buttons in this order:
I
AVR 4
I On 1
I TV 5
I On 1
I CBL/SAT 3
I 2
I 0
I 1
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 as
your confirmation of the key entry.
9. When all commands for the macro have been entered, press
the
Set Button H 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. When the display
returns to normal, the macro has been entered and the
remote is ready for operation.
