Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations
of multiple remote control commands with the touch of a single
button. Once a macro is programmed, you may send up to
20 commands by pressing of one of the
M1, M2 and M3 Macro
Buttons
. This will greatly simplify the process of turning on
your system, changing devices or doing other common tasks.
Thanks to the remote’s two-line display, it is easier than ever for
you to take advantage of the power of macro commands.
Recording a Macro
To record a macro into the remote’s memory, 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 . Release the button
when the red light under the
Set Button turns on.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message will appear in the LCD
and the
Set Button will remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Button twice so that MACRO appears on
the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in
Figure 139.
Press the Set Button to enter the main macro menu
branch.
Figure 139.
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 140), press the Set Button
to begin recording a macro.
Figure 140.
4. The next display screen (Figure 141) is where you select the
button that will be used to recall the macro. Choose one of the
three discrete
Macro Buttons, M1, M2 or M3 . Press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Button until the name of the button you
wish to program the macro into is shown. For this example, we
will show how to program a series of commands that will auto-
matically be sent out every time button
M1 is pressed to
turn on a zone and local video display. Press the
Set Button
to select M1.
Figure 141.
5. The next screen that appears (Figure 142) is where you select
the device for the first command that will be sent out as part
of the macro. Press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Button until the
name of the device appears on the left side of the lower line in
the LCD. For this example, we are going to send a macro to turn
5. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button to change the option in
the lower line to TV.
NOTE: Local 1, Local 2 and TV are the only
devices that can learn IR commands to any button. The buttons
for all other sources need to output the special Audioaccess
codes to control the AVR21EN and common-source components.
6. Press the
Set Button to select the device to be programmed.
The PRESS BUTTON TO BE PROGRAMMED message will
appear in the LCD. Press the button on the KP21R remote to be
programmed. The PRESS BUTTON ON ORIGINAL
REMOTE message will appear in the LCD.
With the two remotes properly positioned, lens to lens, press
the button on the original remote and hold it until CODE
LEARNED CONTINUE appears in the LCD. The
Set Button
will light red. Press the Set Button to “save” the com-
mand. The red light will turn off. The message PRESS BUT-
TON TO BE PROGRAMMED will again appear in the LCD.
Press another button to teach additional commands, and repeat
the previous steps until all commands have been learned.
Press the
Rem Menu Button to exit Learn Menu and return
to normal operation.
7. Press the
LOCAL 1 , LOCAL 2 or TV Button and
then press the buttons just programmed to confirm proper
system performance. If a code wasn’t learned or if the wrong
code was inadvertently programmed, repeat the previous steps
to make corrections.
Figure 137.
8. If the message shown in Figure 137 appears in the display,
press the
Set Button to try programming the button again.
When the remote prompts you to press and hold the key on the
original remote control again by showing PRESS KEY ON THE
ORIGINAL REMOTE in the display, immediately press the
button on the source remote again. To avoid another failed
attempt, make certain that the windows on the two remotes
are facing one another.
9. Continue to hold the button on the original remote until the
LCD changes again. If the code was successfully learned, you will
see
CODE LEARNED in the display. In that case, press the
Set
Button
to store the code. If the LEARN FAILED display
(
Figure 137) appears again, you may either try to program the
key again or press the
Rem Menu Button to exit LEARN.
It is possible that some remotes may use code sequences or
infrared frequencies that are not compatible with the KP21R
remote, and those codes cannot be learned. When the display
shown in
Figure 138 appears, press the Set Button to exit
the Learning system.
