TV or DVDs, you can set the remote to control the volume of your
stereo regardless of which device (TV or DVD) the remote is set
to control. By default, all your devices have independent volume
control. You can perform Individual Volume Unlock on a selected

Key Macros
Key Macros allow the user to program a series of keystrokes to a
single button. For example, you can program a Key Macro on the
POWER button that turns on and off all of your home entertainment equipment with a single press of the POWER button. The Key
Macro function is not available in Z-Wave mode however; Z-Wave
individual light, group or scene commands can be included in
Audio/Video Key Macros. One example of this would be to change
the TV’s input to DVD, change the stereo receiver’s input to DVD,
turn on the DVD player and set room lights to low; all with one
press of the macro key.
When using a macro, the remote transmits the device commands
in sequence. The green LED (beneath the Z-Wave key) blinks once
for each transmitted command. The remote must be aimed at the
equipment during the entire macro sequence.
NOTE: Macro programming overrides the key’s original function in
all modes. However, you can access the key’s original function by
pressing and releasing SET, then the key where the macro is
assigned. The key then sends its original function, not the macro.

Your remote can learn functions from other IR remote controls if
you cannot find your device code.
NOTE: Learning can not be done in Z-Wave mode.
NOTE: Make sure your original remote controls have fresh
batteries before programming.
NOTE: You must add the device you want to learn first. If you
cannot find a code that works with your device (for example,
RECEIVER), enter a “dummy” code (any four-digit code) so that
RCV is an available device.
