• Your original remote control must be in working order for the
learning feature 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 on page 34).
• Although dedicated keys (L1 ~ L4) are provided for storing
learned functions, you can also use any key (except keys for
devices and programming) for learning. However, using them as
learned keys will overwrite their original functions.
• 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. Be sure to press each key within 5 seconds of the previous entry.
If not, the URC-8910 remote control will exit the programming mode.

USING MACROS
With programming, the M1 through M3 keys on your URC-8910
remote control can be setup to perform repetitive, time-consuming
operations for easy, convenient access through the press of a single
key. Macro keys are ideal for home theater operations,setting a
favorite channel, guide steps,or other multiple functions you would
like to control with one key press.Moreover,each macro key can
hold up to15 key presses total.
NOTE: Programming a new macro over an existing one will erase the
original macro.
Programming A Favorite Channel
With so many channels available through your cable or satellite
system 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.Perform the following
steps to program a macro key 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 converter.
1. On the URC-8910 remote control, press and hold

NOTE: If you have access to over 100 channels, add a 0
before the channel numbers (e.g.,0-7 -1). If the original
remote control required pressing an
channel, also press the Enter key after the channel number
(e.g., 0-7-1-ENTER).
NOTE: An [ERROR] message,followed by [MAX = 15] alerts
you that the macro sequence must be 15 keys or less.
Enter key to change the
After pressing the first key (in the macro sequence),
you will see the display change to [SEL TO END].This
message acts as a reminder to use SELECT to end the
sequence (see next step).
6. To end the macro sequence, press and hold SELECT
until you see [SUCCESS] appear in the display,
followed by [EXIT SETUP]. The URC-8910 remote
control will automatically exit the programming
mode and return to normal operation.

your TV set.
Programming A Master Power Key With Instant
Channel Selection
A macro key can be programmed to turn on and off your devices as
well.For example,let’s set up a sequence that will turn on the TV
and tune it to channel 3,and then turn on the cable converter and
tune it to a premium channel (e.g., 11).
NOTE: This example assumes all equipment is turned off and that the TV is
connected through the cable converter with TV tuning set to channel 3.
