Onkyo Remote Control Question

[sarnell2]

I have the Onkyo TX-SR705 and the remote control can be used as a universal remote. I set it up w/ all of my home theater devices including TV, BD Player, Cable Box, CD Player, and VCR (lol). You can program up to three macros with the remote that can handle up to 8 functions. For example, I programmed the first macro to "Watch TV." The functions to do this are:

1. Focus Cable Box
2. Power on Cable Box
3. Focus Receiver
4. Power on Receiver w/ Cable/Sat Input
5. Focus TV
6. Power on TV
7. Focus Cable Box

The problem w/ these macros is that no matter what I set it to focus as the last step, the remote automatically focuses the device that was last used by the remote before the macro was set. Does anyone know if there is some sort of work-around or if I'm doing this wrong?

Thanks!
