Example: To have the AVR’s volume
control be activated even though the
remote is set to control the TV, first press
the 

b

, and the 

button 

d

at the

same time. Next, press the 

button 

z

, followed by the

.

NOTE: Should you wish to return the
remote to the original configuration after
entering a Volume Punch-Through, you
will need to repeat the steps shown above.
However, press the same Device Control
Selector in steps one and three.

The Power button may be programmed to
send out a sequence of up to ten com-
mands when it is pushed. This enables you
to turn on a number of products, and have
a program source turn to a favorite
channel or any other command. In
addition, a separate set of macro
command steps may be programmed for
audio devices and video devices.

Note that only buttons preprogrammed or
manually programmed can be used for
macro programming.

To program a macro into the Power
button, follow these steps:

1. Press either the 

button 

a

to

program one Power macro, or the 

b

to

program another Power macro, and the

button 

d

at the same time until

the red light under the 

turns on and the

lights red.

• When you press the 

button 

a

in this step, the macro steps
programmed will play back and
operate in the same fashion when the
Power button is pressed for the AVR,
CD, TAPE or AUX device selectors.

• When you press the 

b

in this step, the

macro steps programmed will play back
and operate in the same fashion when
the Power button is pressed for the SAT,
TV, VCR or CBL device selectors.

2. Press the 

button 

c

.

3. Enter up to ten macro steps by pressing the

b

for any

Audio or Video device to which you wish to
have the command sent, and then the
function button for each step you wish to
enter. Note that pressing the 

to change devices is

considered one of the ten macro steps
available.

• To enter the “Power On/Off” command

during macro programming, press the

button 

d

. DO NOT press the

actual Power button.

• Note that the 

buttons 

z `

may NOT be used

during a macro program sequence.

4. When all steps, up to ten, have been

entered, press the 

button 

`

to enter the commands. The

red light under the Device Control
Selector will blink twice and then turn
off.

Example: To program your TV, Cable Box
and the AVR45RDS to turn on when the
Power button is pressed, first press-and-hold
the 

b

and 

buttons 

d

until

the red light comes on under the 

button and then the 

button 

c

.

Next, press the 

button 

a

to select

the AVR mode and then the 

button

d

to enter the Power command for the

AVR. Press the 

b

to select the TV mode, and

then press the 

button 

d

again, to

select TV Power. Finally, press the 

b

followed

by the 

button

After following these steps, each time
you press the 

button 

c

, after

either the

, 

or 

b

has

been pressed, the remote will send all
the “Power On/Off” commands.

Erasing a Power Button Macro
To remove a macro program, follow steps
1, 2 and 4 above, but do not follow step
three. For example, to erase the macro for
the video devices just entered, press the

b

and the 

button 

d

at the same

time until the red light under the 

button turns on. Press the 

button

c

, and then press the 

button 

`

. The red light under the

will blink

twice to confirm the data erasing and then
turn off.

IMPORTANT NOTE: If the macro
programming was made with the 

button 

a 

the 

button 

c

cannot be used anymore to only turn on/off
the power of any Audio device (AVR, CD,
Tape) even not of the AVR45RDS itself.
Pressing the Power button after any Audio
device was selected by the appropriate

b

will

always play the macro programmed. The
same is with all Video devices (SAT, TV, VCR,
CBL) if the macro was made with the 

button 

b

.
