PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 33Programming the RemoteMacro ProgrammingMacros enable you to easily repeat frequentlyused combinations of commands with the pressof a single button on the AVR 3000’s remote con-trol. Once programmed, a macro will send outup to 19 different remote codes in a pre-deter-mined sequential order enabling you to automatethe process of turning on your system, changingdevices, or other common tasks. The AVR’s remotecan store up to five separate macro commandsequences, one that is associated with the PowerOn button 0, and four more that are accessedby pressing the Macro buttons K.1. Press the Mute button and the Macrobutton K to be programmed or the Power-Onbutton 0 at the same time. Note that the lat-est selected Input Selector will light red, andthe Program Indicator 2 will flash amber.2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence bypressing the button for the actual command step.Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps,each button press, including those used tochange devices, counts as a step. The ProgramIndicator 2 will flash green to confirm eachbutton press as you enter commands.NOTE: While entering commands for Power On ofany device during a macro sequence, press theMute button . DO NOT press the actualPower ON button.• Remember to press the appropriate InputSelector button 4 before functions arechanged to another device. This is also neededfor the AVR Selector button 5 itself, as longas it’s not lit red and AVR functions shall be pro-grammed.3. When all the steps have been entered, pressthe Sleep button 8 to enter the commands.The red light under the Input Selector 45will blink and then turn off.Example: To program the Macro 1 K buttonso that it turns on the AVR 3000, TV and a Sat-Receiver, follow these steps:• Press the Macro 1 button K and Mute buttons at the same time and then release them.• Note that the Program Indicator will flashamber.• Press the AVR Selector 5.• Press the Mute button to store the AVR’spower on command.• Press the VID 2 Input Selector button 4 toindicate the next command is for “TV Power On.”• Press the Mute button to store the TVPower On Command.• Press the VID 3 Input Selector button 4to indicate the next command is for “Sat-ReceiverPower On.”• Press the Mute button to store the Sat-Receiver Power On command.• Press the Sleep/Channel Up button 8 tocomplete the process and store the macrosequence.After following these steps, each time you pressthe Macro 1 button K, the remote will sendall Power On commands.Erasing Macro CommandsTo remove the commands that have been pro-grammed into one of the Macro buttons, followthese steps:1. Press the Mute button and the Macrobutton K that contains the commands youwish to erase.2. Note that the Program Indicator 2 willflash amber, and the LED under the AVRSelector 5 will turn red.3. Within ten seconds, press the SurroundMode Selector/Channel Down button 9.4. The red LED under the AVR Selector will goout, and the Program Indicator 2 will turngreen and flash three times before it goes out.5. When the Program Indicator 2 goes out,the Macro has been erased.
