ACROS
You can program your remote to issue a sequence
of commands at the press of one button. For
example, you may want to turn off your TV, VCR,
and Satellite at the same time. Any sequence of
commands you regularly use can be reduced to
one key press for your convenience. A key that is
programmed with a Macro works through all
modes (provided its available in that mode).
Therefore a Macro should only be set on the
Custom keys (M1 – M4). You can install a Macro
on any key, except for the device keys (TV, VCR,
SAT/CBL, CD, AUD, and DVD), P, SCREEN, and
FAV SCAN
.
