■ Programming macro operations

You can program your own macro to transmit several 
remote control commands in sequence at the press of a 
button. Be sure to set up remote control codes or perform 
learning operations before programming the macro.

• The default macro is not cleared when a new macro is 

programmed for a button. The default macro can be used again 
when the programmed macro is cleared.

• It is not possible to add a new signal (macro step) to the default 

macro. Programming a macro changes all macro contents.

• We do not recommend that you program continuous operations 

(for example, volume control) in a macro.

Press G

SETUP using a ballpoint pen or 

similar object.
“SETUP” appears in the display window (4).

Press 9k / n repeatedly to select “MACRO” 
and then press 9

ENTER.

Press the desired macro button you want to 
assign the macro program to and then press

ENTER.

“M:the three-letter name of the selected macro 
button” (for example, “M:DVD”) and the name of the 
currently selected control area appears in the display 
window (4) alternately.
When you press DSTANDBY or EPOWER, 
“M:STB” or “M:PWR” and the name of the currently 
selected control area appears in the display window 
(4) alternately.

To change the selected input area, press 5SELECT l

 / h

. 

Pressing the input selector buttons will program a macro step, 
whereas 5SELECT l

 / h

 only changes the selected input area.

• The position of the operation mode selector (AMP/TV/

SOURCE) affects the assigned function. When the 
operation mode selector is set to FAMP or FTV, the 
input source selectors do not function.

Press H

MACRO to confirm the program.

You can set up to 10 steps (10 functions). After you 
have set 10 steps, “FULL” appears and the remote 
control automatically exits from the macro 
programming mode. 

Press G

SETUP again to exit from the setup 

“ERROR” appears in the display window (4) if you press more 
than one button simultaneously.
