I programmed my tsu2000 last night with macros to control dish, vcr, and dvd. I aliased the appropriate home button to switch my Sony receiver to the corresponding input (using learned codes)and switch my sony tv (using discrete IR codes, i also tried the channel down multiple input select method). The dish button works fine, from any pre-existing condition. However, the vcr and dvd will not work correctly. The first time I tried, the vcr would switch to the proper audio but not video input. The DVD worked fine. After I deleted and reprogrammed the VCR button, neither of them switch audio at all, and they both switch to different wrong video inputs.
Does anyone know what could cause this or what I might try next?

Have you got delays between the various commands in the macros? If you send two IR codes to the same device too close together the device will not respond correctly...

I have tried delays up to 0.5 seconds and this did not affect the performance.

Start by making your VCR button macro a single code (say switching the video input), if that works, add a single code at a time to get a working macro. At least you'll know where the macro fails this way. When it does fail, consider adding longer delays. Generally, when I build a macro, I try to alternate between equipment. Keeps the delays shorter or eliminates the need altogether.

you might be better off posting the action list. It is hard to diagnose the problem without having all the info.

I found the problem. I went through adding steps one by one and found that I needed to delete the default step that calls the device. Thanks
