Additional Information
Performing several commands in
sequence automatically (Macro Play)
The Macro Play function lets you link several IR codes in
a sequential order as a single command. The remote
provides 2 macro lists (MACRO1 and 2). You can specify
up to 10 IR codes for each macro list.
Setting the sequence of IR codes
1
Press MACRO1 (or MACRO2) while pressing down
USE MODE.
The indicator lights.
2 Press the numeric buttons to select the macro step
number.
For example, to program step 1, press 1.
3 Press the button you want to program.
To program the operation (IR code) of a
component connected to the receiver, press
the function button (including MONITOR) first,
then press the button for the operation.
For example, to play the CD player, press CD, then
press H.
When programmed successfully, the indicator lights
twice slowly, then the remote automatically exits the
macro setting mode.
To program the operation (IR code) of the
receiver, press the button for the operation.
Buttons that can be programmed:
SLEEP, ?/1, 2ND ROOM, A.F.D., MODE +/–, 2CH,
PRESET, TEST TONE, NIGHT MODE, EQ, MULTI/
2CH A. DIRECT, ON SCREEN, MUTING, MAIN
MENU, MASTER VOL +/–
When programmed successfully, the indicator lights
twice slowly, then the remote automatically exits the
macro setting mode.

Repeat steps 1 through 3 to program up to 10 IR
codes.
Tips
• To program a function switch, press the same function button
twice in step 3.
• If programming is unsuccessful, check the following:
– If the indicator does not light up in step 1, the batteries are
weak. Replace both batteries.
– If the indicator lights 4 times in quick succession in step 3, an
error has occured. Start again from step 1.
Note
The indicator turns off while a valid button is pressed.
Remote Button Description
To cancel programming
Press USE MODE during any step. The remote
automatically exits the macro setting mode.
To delay the output of an IR code
Start over from step 1. In step 3, press VIDEO 1, then
MACRO1 or MACRO2. This allows you to specify 1
second delay before output the next IR code. Be sure not
to press MACRO1 or MACRO2 for more than 2 seconds.
To clear the programmed IR codes
Clear each macro step individually.
1
Press MACRO1 or MACRO2 (in which the IR code
you want to clear is programmed) while pressing
down USE MODE.
2
Press the numeric button to select the macro step
number you want to clear.
3 Press VIDEO 1.
4
Hold down MACRO1 or MACRO2 for more than 2
seconds.
The IR code is cleared. The indicator lights twice
slowly, then the remote automatically exits the macro
setting mode.
To start macro play
Press MACRO1 (or MACRO2).
Note
If the Macro Play function does not work properly, program a
delay between each operation. See “To delay the output of an IR
code”.
