34 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Programming the Remote
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR 210’s remote con-
trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out
up to 19 different remote codes in a predeter-
mined sequential order, enabling you to auto-
mate the process of turning on your system,
changing devices, or other common tasks. The
AVR 210’s remote can store up to five separate
macro command sequences: one that is
associated with the Power On button a, and
four more that are accessed by pressing the
Macro buttons w.
1. Press the Mute button and the
Macro button w to be programmed or
the Power On button a at the same
time. Note that an Input Selector will light
red, and the Program/SPL Indicator c
will flash amber.
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command
step. Although the macro may contain up to
19 steps, each button press, including those
used to change devices, counts as a step.
The Program/SPL Indicator c will flash
green to confirm each button press as you
enter commands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power
On/Off of any device during a macro sequence,
press the Mute button . DO NOT press the
actual Power button.
3. When all the steps have been entered,
press the Sleep button i to enter the
commands. The red light under the Input
Selectors ef will blink and then
turn off.
Example: To program the Macro 1 button
so that it turns on the AVR 210,TV and a
Cable Box, follow these steps:
• Press the Macro 1 w and Mute
buttons at the same time and then release
them.
• Note that the Program/SPL Indicator
will flash amber.
• Press the AVR Selector f.
• Press the Mute button to store the
AVR 210’s power on command.
• Press the VID 2 Input Selector button
e to indicate the next command is for
“TV Power On.”
• Press the Mute button to store the
TV Power On Command.
• Press the VID 3 Input Selector button
e to indicate the next command is for
“Cable Power On.”
• Press the Mute button to store the
Cable Power On command.
• Press the Sleep/Channel Up button i
to complete the process and store the
macro sequence.
After following these steps, each time you
press the Macro 1 button w, the remote
will send the Power On/Off command.
Erasing Macro Commands
To remove the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:
1. Press the Mute button and the
Macro button w that contains the com-
mands you wish to erase.
2. Note that the Program/SPL Indicator c
will flash amber, and the LED under the
AVR Selector f will turn red.
3.Within ten seconds, press the Surround
Mode Selector/Channel Down
button j.
4.The red LED under the AVR Selector will
go out, and the Program/SPL Indicator
c will turn green and flash three times
before it goes out.
5.When the Program/SPL Indicator c
goes out, the Macro has been erased.
Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR 210’s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices, press
the appropriate Input Selector e to change
the remote from controlling the AVR 210 to con-
trolling the additional product.When you press
any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red
to indicate that you have changed the device
being controlled.
When operating a device other than the
AVR 210, the controls may not correspond
exactly to the function printed on the remote
or button. Some commands, such as the volume
control, are the same as they are with the
AVR 210. Other buttons will change their
function so that they correspond to a secondary
label on the remote. For example, the Sleep
and Surround mode selector buttons also func-
tion as the Channel Up and Channel Down
