System Design
A macro can be used to control a home theatre operation, to set a favorite channel, or for other
multiple functions you would like to control with one key press. You can use any key to activate a
macro. Moreover, each Macro Key can hold up to 32 key presses.
You can program a macro that will operate regardless of what mode you are in, or one that will only
operate when you are in a specific mode.
NOTE: Programming a new macro over an existing one will erase the original macro.
Programming a Mode-Independent Macro:
1. Press and hold “SETUP” until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
2. Press “995”. The LED will blink twice.
3. Press the key you want to use to activate your macro (Power, any unused key, etc.).
4. Enter the series of commands you want the macro to execute (up to 32 commands).
5. Press and hold “SETUP” until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
Now, when you press the Macro key, the remote will send the series of commands you have
entered, regardless of what mode you are in. For example, you could program the Macro key to
turn on both your TV and cable box and select a particular channel.
To clear the macro, repeat steps 1-5 above, but do not enter a series of commands at step 4.
Programming a Mode-Dependent Macro:
1. Press a device key (AMP, SAT, TNR, CD, AUX and DVD).
2. Press and hold “SETUP” until the red LED blinks twice.
3. Press “978”. The LED will blink twice.
4. Press the key you want to use to activate your macro (Power, any unused key, etc.).
5. Enter the series of commands you want the macro to execute (up to 32 commands).
6. Press and hold “SETUP” until the red LED blinks twice, then release.
Now, when you press the Macro key, the remote will send the series of commands you have
entered, but only if you are in the mode you selected in step 1. For example, you could program the
Macro key to turn on both your TV and cable box and select a particular channel, but only if you are
in TV mode. If you are in DVD mode, this key will do nothing.

Using Learning
The A-BUS™ Universal Remote includes a learning feature so you can add functions that are
unique to your home entertainment devices (e.g. VCR Tracking Up or Down).
However, there are some considerations:
Learning Precautions
• Your original remote controls must be in working order for Learning to work properly.
• Learned keys are mode specific, so each one can store a unique function for each mode.
• Learned keys can be used in macros (see Using Macros).
• Do not use the following keys for learning : Device Keys or SETUP Key.
• Learning capacity is approximately 16 to 25 keys, depending on the code being learned.
• Certain device codes are not learnable including multi-frequency types, some high frequency
ones, and other unusual formats.
• For optimum learning, avoid high levels of ambient light such as natural sunlight or energy-efficient
fluorescent lights.
NOTE: Please have your original remote controls handy before programming learning.
Programming a Learned Key
NOTE: If more than 10 seconds pass between key presses, the remote exits programming.
1. Press and hold “SETUP” until LED flashes twice.
2. Press “975”.
3. Press a device key once (i.e., AMP, SAT, TNR, CD, AUX and DVD) to assign a mode for learning.
