CHAPTER 3
Remote Setup continued
9. Try out the Sun¿ re remote and see
if the learned buttons will suc cess -
ful ly operate your equipment. You
may ¿ nd that some commands
cannot be learned, because some
are non-conventional, or too long
or too short.
10. The EDIT command can be used
to change the labels if some of the
standard labels do not correspond
to your original remote buttons.
MACRO
The macro mode allows you to
set up certain buttons to transmit up
to 190 commands in sequence. For
ex am ple, a single button press could
turn on all of your home theater equip-
ment, and set the TGR-401 to DVD,
set the TV to channel 3, and set the
DVD to play, make the tea and put the
cat out.
The power ON and OFF buttons
can be pro grammed as macros. The
ten device buttons can also be pro-
grammed, although these will only be
activated if the device button is held
down for a few seconds.
Note that the macro buttons are in-
dependent of which device the remote
is set for. So there is only one power
macro etc.
1. In SETUP mode, press MAC RO.
2. Press one of the buttons you wish
to program as a macro, such as
ON, or a device button.
3. Press up to 190 buttons you would
like the macro to store. Do this in
the exact order you want them to
be trans mit ted. Use the PAGE,
MAIN and direct buttons to ¿ nd
buttons to use in the macro.
4. To add a delay between steps, you
can add 0.5 seconds each time
you press PAUSE (II). This does
not take up a step. If pause is your
¿ rst step, then the macro will not
work unless the button is pressed
and held down.
5. Press the Chan nel UP button to
save your macro.
6. Repeat this procedure to program
more macros, and press MAIN to
return to the main menu.
7. Try out the macros to see if they
work OK. It may take some time
to transmit all the commands in
se quence, so keep the remote
pointing at your equipment and do
not move it during this time.

This mode lets you quickly see the
three digit codes you have assigned
