Macro Programming with Remotes

A string of different commands in universal remotes is often referred to as macros and assigning them to a single button is called macro programming. Macro programming can be a tedious process which would involve several trial and error attempts before it can be set to work properly. One good example of this is hitting the button to watch a DVD and seeing one’s equipment carry out the individual actions that are involved to achieve it such as turning on the TV, amplifier and DVD player, switching the TV and amplifier to the correct inputs and then of course, play the movie.

When macro programming has been accomplished, satisfaction and convenience are sure to follow. Just imagine the same convenience when universal remotes can do the same with home lighting, air conditioning and security. It could be sheer pleasure to use just one button to accomplish a task.
