IR Remote Codes

The following information is supplied for owners of advanced programmable remote controls, such as the Philips ‘Pronto’ and similar devices, where it is possible to program remote codes directly into the device.

The coding system for the AVR280 is based on the Philips RC-5 standard. The main system control uses RC-5 system codes ‘16’, with the tuner section using system code ‘17’ (this is to provide compatability with existing ARCAM tuners). So, for example, to program in a ‘Stand-by’ command, use the command ‘16-124’.

Zone 2 also uses RC-5 system code 16 as standard, as Zone 2 is normally operated in a separate room using a standard (system code 16) remote control.

Main system control code, system code 16. Items shown in this style indicate the equivalent remote control button of the supplied CR100 remote control.
