TX-NR1008's NET music streaming requires manual navigation controls

[Dan the LAN man]

My Onkyo TX-NR1008 AVR has no discrete button for selecting a Music Server. Instead, a single NET / USB Source selector button must be toggled to one of three sources (NET/USB/iRadio), followed by a succession of nested selections made via the AVR's front panel (or IR Remote's) navigation controls. QUESTION: Is there a reliable method within BLOnkyo or ??? for invoking the predetermined sequence of UP / DOWN, LEFT / RIGHT, and OK commands needed to effectively select a specific Music Server choice? At the receiver's control panel, it takes four DOWN presses, one SELECT press, two more DOWN presses and two final SELECT presses just to dial in a Tidal HD music stream originating on a specific Windows PC. If I could just automate those Onkyo button presses, my wife could put on music by herself once again.

On mine it’ll automatically switch sources to net and grab from whatever’s coming even in standby. If I’m doing something like watching a movie it’ll keep the video and play the audio from the net source. It’s a 2017 nr 673 with the latest firmware so maybe yours can?
