9. Macros
The MACRO key, in conjunction with digits 1, 2 and 3, lets you to program and store up to 3 sequences of
key-presses of your choice. One press of the respective Macro digit key results in that sequence of key-
presses (IR commands) being sent. Any sequence of key-presses that you regularly perform can be
reduced to two keypresses (MACRO key followed by digit 1, 2 or 3 key). For example pressing MACRO
followed by a single key can turn on your TV, turn on your cable box, change to your favourite channel, turn
on your VCR, and tell it to record, etc. A total of 10 keypresses can be stored under each of the 3 Macro
digits.

"0" digit entered after Pause i.e. there is no zero delay.
