By creatively experimenting you may find that you can workaround the lack of discrete codes.This takes time and
there is no guarantee that you will find a workaround for any given component. Here are some common examples:

Most DVD players will turn on when off when they receive a Play command.Thus you can workaround like this:
DVD ON = 1) Play
2) DVD Stop

Many televisions respond to a channel up or a channel number command by changing to the Antenna input regardless
of what input was last selected.This creates an “anchor” action that puts the television in a known input.Thus you
can create a workaround as follows:
EXAMPLE - CH Up takes TV to the ANT A input (and the TV has 5 inputs -Ant A, Ant B, EXT1, EXT2 and EXT3)
TV to EXT3 = 1) Ch Up (takes TV to ANT A regardless of what input was last selected)
2) Input (takes TV to next input - ANT B)
3) Input (takes TV to next input - EXT 1)
4) Input (takes TV to next input - EXT 2)
5) Input (takes TV to desired input - EXT 3)
EXAMPLE 2 - Any channel number and ENTER takes TV to the ANT A input (and the TV has 5 inputs -Ant A, Ant B, EXT1,
EXT2 and EXT3)
TV to EXT3 = 1) “0”
2) “2”
3) “Enter” (takes TV to ANT A)
2) Input (takes TV to next input - ANT B)
3) Input (takes TV to next input - EXT 1)
4) Input (takes TV to next input - EXT 2)
5) Input (takes TV to desired input - EXT 3)

Set up your laptop and the connected remote within operational range of the home theater system while
programming the Power On macro. Power On macros usually require extensive testing of delays and you can
expect to do a lot of experimenting while programming.
