• Once you program a Macro on a specific key, the sequence will work regardless of the mode (TV, VCR, SAT and DVD) you are using.
• To avoid accidental recordings with the ONE FOR ALL 4, you must press the Record key twice to begin recording. Because of this, you cannot assign a Macro or Shifted Macro to the Record key.
• If you had to hold down a key for a few seconds on the original remote control to get a function, this function may not work in a macro on your ONE FOR ALL remote.
• If you program a Macro on a key, the original function will become shifted (excluding CH+/- and VOL+/- keys). Press M (MAGIC) key then the key to access it. If you place a Macro shifted on a digit key, access the original function by pressing the M (MAGIC) key twice and then the digit key.
