4.The next display screen (Figure 68) is where you select the device that will be renamed. In our example, that is the TV button. Press the
⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil the name of the base device appears and then press the Set Button F.

5.At the next menu screen you will see the device name on the bottom line of the display with a blinking cursor box to the right of the device name. Press the ‹ Navigation Buttons Eto return the blinking cursor to the far left side of the display line. You may then retitle the device name as shown in the next step.
6.To enter the new name, press the Numeric Keys H. The letters above the numbered buttons indicate which letter or symbol will appear when the button is pressed during the renaming process. The first press of the button will enter the first letter shown, subsequent presses of the same button will change the display to the other letters above that num- bered key. For example, since the first letter we need to rename the input to HDTV Tuner is an “H”, you would locate the “H” above the “4” button, and press the button twice. The first press shows a “G,” the second press changes it to an “H.” Consult the table at the end of this section to see which characters pressing a particular button generates.
7.After you enter the first letter of the new device name, there are three options for enter- ing the next character:
a.To enter a letter that requires a different numeric key to be pressed, simply press that button. The cursor will automatically move to the next position and the first letter accessed by the new button will appear. Following our example, the next letter need- ed is a “D,” so you would press the “3” button once.
b.To enter a letter that uses the same numeric key, you must first press the › Navigation Buttons Eto move the blinking cursor block to the next position. Then press the Numeric Key Has required to enter the desired letter.
c.To enter a blank space, press the › Navigation Buttons Etwice. The first press will move the cursor to the right, and the second press will move the cursor one more space to the right, leaving a blank space between the last letter and the next one.
8.Repeat Step 7 as needed to enter all the needed letters, numbers, characters and spaces.
9.When the text entry is complete, press the Set Button F. The LCD display will blink DEVICE RENAMED three times and then return to normal operation.
Once a device is renamed you will see the new name on the top line of the remote’s LCD display whenever the Input/Device Selector 4is pressed, or when any other command/function button on the remote is pressed after the main Device Selector is pressed. Note that renaming a device in the remote will not change the name of the input used by the on-screen menu system of the AVR.
Notes on Renaming Devices:
•To move the cursor to the right or left of the display during the renaming process, press the
‹/› Navigation Buttons Eas required.
•The table below shows the letters, numbers and characters that may be accessed by press- ing the Numeric Keys:
Key | Characters | Key | Characters |
1 | [,],/,1 | 6 | M,N,O,6 |
2 | A,B,C,2 | 7 | P,Q,R,S,7 |
3 | D,E,F,3 | 8 | T,U,V,8 |
4 | G,H,I,4 | 9 | W,X,Y,Z,9 |
5 | J,K,L,5 | 0 | -,.,#,0 |
•Renaming a device changes the name of the device only, not any of the individual key func- tions within that device memory. To change the name of an individual device, follow the instructions in the next section.
Renaming Individual Keys
Thanks to the programming flexibility of the AVR remote, an individual button on the remote may be assigned a feature or function that is different from the name that appears as the factory default when the button is pressed. However, with the Rename Key function it is possible to rename almost any button on the remote so that when the button is pressed you will see a more descriptive or appropriate name displayed.
To rename a specific button on the remote, fol- low these steps. For this example, we will show you how to rename the Tone Control Button
,which is normally not used when DVD is selected so that it reads ZOOM in the remote’s display.
1. Press and hold the Program Button for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the but- ton when the red light under the Set Button
Fappears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 16), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil RENAME appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 66.
3.At the next menu screen press the ⁄¤
Navigation Buttons Euntil RENAME KEY appears on the bottom line of the LCD
screen, as shown in Figure 69. Press the Set Button Fto continue.

4.The next display screen (Figure 70) is where you select the device within which the key to be renamed exists. Press the ⁄¤
Navigation Buttons Euntil the name of the base device appears. In our example, since we want to rename a button within the DVD device memory, DVD should appear in the lower line of the LCD. When the desired device name appears, press the Set Button F.

5.At the next menu screen you will select the first button within the device to be renamed, as instructed in the display shown in Figure 71. Select the button by simply pressing it on the remote.

6.Depending on whether or not the button pressed already has a named function within the device selected, one of two things will happen.
a.If the button to be renamed already has a pre-programmed, or previously renamed title in the remote’s memory, you will see that name on the top line of the LCD dis- play, and a blinking block cursor will appear on the far left side of the bottom line of the display, as shown in Figure 72.
b.If the button to be renamed does not have a function in the device selected, the top line of the LCD screen will be blank, and a blink- ing block cursor will appear on the far left side of the bottom line of the display, as shown in Figure 73.

7.To enter the new name for the key, press the Numeric Keys H. The letters above the numbered buttons indicate which letters or symbols will appear when the button is pressed during the renaming process. The first press of the button will enter the first charac- ter shown, subsequent presses of the same button will change the display to the other let- ters above that numbered key. For example,
