Radio Shack MX-500TM Universal Remote User Manual


 
In this case we are going to use the M1 button to turn on
the TV, the receiver, the Cable box, choose the appropriate
inputs, and tune in the channel where we normally watch
the morning news.
1. Press MAIN and ENTER simultaneously for three
seconds.
2. Press MACRO.
3. Press M1.
4. Press AUDIO. (Takes you to the Audio device page.)
5. Press POWER. (The button on the top right of the
remote.)
6. Press TV. (This takes you to the TV device page.)
7. Press POWER.
8. Press MAIN.
9. Press CABLE. (This takes you to the Cable device page.)
10. Press POWER.
11. Press MAIN.
12. Press AUDIO. (We are returning to this page because
most receivers and amps take time to “cycle up” and can't
receive any commands, such as input, until the device is
ready. So we have had the other steps of the macro running
while the Audio device is “cycling up”.)
13. Press PAUSE three times. (The button on the bottom
right of the joystick. We've done this since our particular
receiver takes longer than normal to “cycle up”, so we
have pressed the PAUSE button to insert more time for the
receiver to get to the point where it will receive another
command. Pressing the PAUSE button three times allows
for an extra. 6 seconds of wait time. 3 x .2 seconds
per push=.6 seconds)
14. Press CATV. (Since you are in the Audio device, this
selects the “CAbleTV” input on that device.)
