Hi, I have a MX-900, and have just finished programming it. But when I do a macro for turning off my TV and my A/V receiver, the TV briefly turns off, but then turns on again.(the A/V receiver does go off). But the "off" code I use to form the macro works fine by itself. I have tried erasing the macro and starting again, changing the order of commands, and adding delays. There are only two commands on this macro. Can any one advise me? Thanks

The button you are using may have both a macro and an ir code assigned. If so, delete the ir code.

As James said,
If you hover your mouse over the the macro button, if you see an orange "P" and a green "M" on the button, you want to get rid of the "P" representing preprogram code / IR code.
You win some, you loose some...

Thanks, everyone, but i had erased any IR or macro commands, and then just added macro. Anyway, I have managed now to track down a discrete OFF command ( thanks to Anders from URC, again), and it now seems to work perfectly. But I am still at a loss as to my original problem, though,not that it matters now.
