Before you can think about doing the macro, you must decide what signal to use to turn the TV on and off.

The easiest way is to use the codes they provided above, and to test it yourself.

Using pronto edit, you can use the existing ccf or create a test ccf.

What you should do is create a new test device. Call it "test" so there is no confusion.

Create a panel in the test device. In the panel put six buttons (you can copy them from the gallery template).

Double click on the buttons one at a time.

One of the property tabs will let you name the buttons. Name each so you know what they are:

"Clean On"
"Clean On +"
"Clean On ++"
"Clean Off"
"Clean Off +"
"Clean Off ++"

Instead of + and ++, you an use 1 and 2 or however you want to call out the differences.

One of the other property tabs will let you learn the IR. You'll have to click on "set IR" and "advanced" to bring a window up that lets you edit the raw hex code. You should copy each of the six codes above and paste them into the corresponding buttons you created. Copy Peter's on/off into the "clean on" and "clean off" buttons; copy John's "extended" and "extended more" into the On/Off + and ++ buttons.

Download it to the Pronto and go see which of the three buttons (if any) work best.

Once you have found the on/off combinations which work best, then you can worry about building the macros.
