- Recording Macros
A macro allows you to send a sequence of commands using one single button. You can for instance, switch on your TV, turn to a movie channel and prepare your VCR for recording by rewinding the videotape. All this can be done be pressing a single button on your RC3200. To record macros, RC3200 has to be in Macro mode. 1 Set the RC3200 in Use Mode. See �Working with Modes� 2 Select the device, e.g. TV, with the buttons you want to program as a macro.

- Tricks for Remote Controles that are �Difficult�
� Replace the batteries in your original remote control. Poor battery charge in the original remote will still operate original component from long range, but will corrupt carrier frequency learning � Change distance. Try increasing distance up to 4 feet. Start in the normal 1� to 4� , then double the distance to 8� and so on. � Use a short �Tap� instead of a press and hold. A press and hold is only really necessary when you are learning a button that in actual operation you would sometimes press and hold (e.g. volume up and down, fast forward scan). If your system is large and you are concerned about memory, try teaching most commands as taps rather then extended press and holds. � The �Flicker� technique - rapidly tap the button while learning (7x per sercond or faster). This is very useful for difficult volume up and volume down commands from some manufacturers. � The �Swoop� - Start from 2�away and swoop the remote towards the learning remote. Use in absolute desperation, out of sight from anyone who might see you. Reportedly works occasionally. � The �Flasher� - Hold an opaque object in front of the remote and remove it then quickly replace it. This is especially useful when you want to capture one part of a macro from another remote.
