FAVORITE CHANNEL” BUTTONS+ WHAT ARE THEY?
As the name implies, you can set buttons to go directly to your favorite channels, rather than have to press the appropriate buttons on the number pad, and risk making an error.

You can have up to 50 FAV channel buttons that you can identify with up to 5 characters such as ABC, NBC, etc. You then just push the button for that channel and the remote sends out the channel numbers.

Favorite channels can use all of the number pad buttons (0 – 9), the DIS, ENT, PAUSE/INFO, POWER and SYSTEM OFF. These are the only buttons you can use. • SOMETIMES ON MY CURRENT REMOTE, THE TIME BETWEEN MACRO COMMANDS IS TOO SHORT.
