USING MACROS

With programming, the MACRO key on your Atlas Universal
Remote Control can be setup to perform repetitive, time-
consuming operations through the press of a single key.
A macro can be used to control a home theater operation,
to set a favorite channel, or for other multiple functions
you would like to control with one key press (see exam-
ples below). Moreover, the MACRO key can hold up to
three macros with up to 15 key presses each. The macros
are then activated, in the order they were stored, each
time you press this key.

NOTE: If three macros are stored, programming a new macro will erase
the first original macro. Thereafter, each new macro will overwrite the
next original macro.

Example – Programming A Favorite Channel

With so many channels available through your cable
provider, you can program a macro that directly selects a
favorite channel with one key press.

For example, let’s assume your favorite cable programs
are on channel 71. Use the following instructions to
program a macro for direct access of this channel:

NOTE: This example assumes the TV tuner is connected directly
to the cable line and not through a cable box.

1.

On the remote control, press and hold SETUP
until the last-selected device key blinks twice,
then release SETUP.

2.

Enter 9 - 9 - 5.

3.

Press MACRO once.

4.

Press TV once.

5.

Enter the channel number, 7 -1.

NOTE: If you have access to over 100 channels, enter
0-7-1. Moreover, if the original remote control
required pressing an Enter key to change the channel,
also press the ENTER key after the channel number
(e.g., 0-7-1-ENTER).

6.

Press and hold SETUP until the last-selected
device key blinks twice, then release SETUP.

Now when you press MACRO, you will instantly see cable
channel 71 on your TV set.
