Programming Macros
Your Contour remote control includes the ability to program the A, B, C, and D keys with a Macro function. Each one can be set up to perform a pre-programmed set of sequential key presses with the press of one key. A macro can be used to control a home theater operation, to set a favorite channel, or for other multiple functions you would like to control with one key press. Moreover, each Macro Key can hold up to 15 key presses total.
You can program a macro that operates regardless of what mode you are in, or one that only operates when you are in a specific mode.
NOTE: Programming a new macro over an existing one erases the original macro.
Programming a Macro
- Press and hold SETUP until either the TV or STB key blinks twice, then release.
- Press 9-9-5 (The TV or STB key will blink twice)
- Press the key you wish to assign a macro on
- Enter the series of commands you want the macro to execute (up to 15 commands)
- Press and hold SETUP until either the TV or STB key blinks twice, then release
Now, when you press the preset macro key, the remote sends the series of commands you have entered, regardless of what mode you are in. For example, you could program a macro key to turn on both your TV and cable box and select a particular channel.
