Frequently Asked Questions
What is a “macro” button?
It is an Automator button you set to make a lot of
things happen when you press it. For example, to
watch a DVD in most home theaters requires several
remote controls and many button presses (power up
the TV, power up the surround sound, power up the
DVD player, set the TV to the correct video input, set
the surround sound to the correct audio input and
finally; press play on the DVD player remote control).
Instead of pressing all of those buttons one at a time,
the Automator enables you to set up one button that
does it all automatically with one press. For more infor-
mation on how and why you should set up macro but-
tons, watch the DVD tutorial or read pages 19-22.
If the batteries run out, will I lose my settings?
No. The Automator stores all of your settings in non-
volatile FLASH memory. You could remove the batter-
ies for months, replace them at your convenience and
the Automator would still remember your settings.
Who can I call for more answers?

customer service staff are ready to answer any ques-
tions you might have.
