programming the system remote

Macros can only be programmed with either av or sat selected!
Macros programmed under av will be recalled, pressing m1, m2, ...
m4 or standby, when you use av, cd, dvd, or amp. Macros
programmed under sat will be recalled when using sat, tv, vcr and ld.

When using the macro functions, it can take up to 10 seconds to
transmit a 10-key sequence. You should keep the system-remote
pointing towards the appropriate unit while the commands are being
transmitted to ensure they are received correctly.

To program in a macro function:

1. Simultaneously press the REMOTE SELECTION key for the set of

macros you wish to program (av or sat) and the mute key. The
learning status LED and the REMOTE SELECTION key will both
turn red to indicate that the Remote is in macro learning mode

(1)

.

2. Press one of the macro keys m1 to m4 or standby to which you

wish to allocate the functions.

3. Press the keys for the commands (up to 10) you want stored in

the macro key

(2)

.

4. Press the CH + (or CH -) key to store your selections. The

learning status LED and the REMOTE SELECTION key will both
flash red twice, then go out.

5. To use the macro, simply press the macro button.

1. The Remote will stay in macro learning mode for 20 seconds, after which it will return to normal operation mode if there have been no

further key presses

2. You can select functions to control another unit as part of a macro by first pressing the appropriate REMOTE SELECTION key before

pressing the keys for the desired functions. This REMOTE SELECTION key press counts as one of the 10 presses you may store in the
macro key

7. Once you have finished teaching the system-remote all the

desired commands from the original remote, you must store
them by simultaneously pressing the appropriate REMOTE
SELECTION
key and the ok key for about four seconds.

Once you have stored the ‘learnt’ functions, test the keys you have
taught to make sure that they are programmed correctly.
If the system-remote has problems learning from the original
remote

(1)

,you should:

• check that the original remote has fresh batteries
• avoid fluorescent lights and strong sunlight, which may interfere

with the learning process

• increase or decrease the distance between the two remote

controls (within a range of 2 to 15cm / 1 to 6in)

programming macro features

The keys m1 to m4 and standby can act as macro keys. These can
be programmed to store up to 10 commands to send together with
one key press. Any key press function (except mute, CH + and CH –)
can be programmed into the macro keys. There are 2 groups of
macros, one used if the av, cd, dvd or amp remote selection keys
have been pressed, the other for the sat, tv, vcr or ld keys; i.e. there
are a total of 10 macros available.

1. Some remote controls operate at non-standard infra-red, UHF or ultrasonic frequencies, and cannot be learnt; this is sometimes also

caused by unusual or complex functions which are not universally recognised. If you continue to experience problems programming the
system-remote, please consult your retailer for advice
