The macro sequencing would depend partly on which devices do use discrete codes, if at all. Let's say they don't. In that case, only one Macro would be required:

- TV power
- Satellite box power
- TV set to channel 3

This leaves the Pronto in TV mode, so your channel buttons would need to be "punched through" to the Sat box.

To turn all off, of course, hit the Macro again. Of course, problems start when one of the Devices is out of sync. That's what makes the Harmony so handy.

You could create several Macros, each designed to "re-sync" one device, but oh what a pain. Easier just to get up and click the Device itself.

If you have any Discrete code-activated Devices, your second macro would include Power Off commands where the Power commands are in the first Macro.

I would set the Macro commands up in that order to bypass the time delay when turning on the TV. The same may or may not be true for any of your other Devices; it's not really a "dead" period, it's just that it takes a certain amount of time for the Device to do its thing. Adding a delay in the Pronto has the same effect, except that it takes the Macro longer to work through. ... Mike
