television boxes and satellite receivers. Button number 32 is the Delay button for the AVR480, but the Time Display button for CD players.
NOTE: The numbers used to describe the button functions in the diagram on page 35 for the purposes of describing how a button operates are a different set of numbers than those used in the rest of this manual to describe the button func- tions for the AVR480.
Notes on Using the AVR480 Remote With Other Devices
•Manufacturers may use different code sets within the same product category, such as TV sets or VCRs. They may also change codes for a certain category from one model year to the next. For that reason, it is important that you check to see whether the code set you have entered operates as many con- trols as possible. If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see whether another code set will work with more buttons.
•When a button on the AVR480’s remote is pressed, the red light under the Input Selector f for the prod- uct being operated should flash briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for some but not all buttons for a par- ticular product, it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote but rather that no function is programmed for the button being pushed.
Punch-Through Programming
The AVR480's remote may be pro- grammed to control one device, such as a TV, while simultaneously directing only certain functions to another device, such as the transport controls of a DVD player, without having to switch back and forth between inputs. You may also use the remote to control the system volume on the AVR without the need to switch between different devices. This is called
NOTE: All programming for the remote codes needed to operate specific devices, such as a TV, DVD, cable box, satellite receiver or VCR, should be completed before programming
Volume Punch-Through
The AVR480’s remote may be pro- grammed to operate the Volume Control
33and Mute 37 functions of either the TV or the AVR480 in conjunction with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For example, since the AVR480 will likely be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have the AVR480’s volume activated, although the remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR480 or TV volume control may be associated with any of the remote’s devices. To program the remote for Volume
1.Press the Input Selector f for the unit you will be using (e.g., TV) when you wish to have Volume Punch- Through to your audio system active and the Mute Button 37 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector f and note that the Program Indicator c will flash amber.
2.Press the Volume Up Button 33 and note that the Program Indicator c will stop flashing and stay amber.
3.Press either the AVR Selector g or the Input Selector f, depending on which system’s volume control you wish to have attached for the punch- through mode. The Program Indicator c will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.
EXAMPLE: To have the AVR480’s volume control activated even though the remote is set to control the TV, first press the TV Input Selector f and the Mute Button 37 at the same time. Next, press the Volume Up Button 33 , followed by the AVR Input Selector g.
NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to the original configuration after entering a Volume
Channel Control Punch-Through
The AVR480’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the channel control function for either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be used in conjunction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For example, while using and controlling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a cable box or satellite receiver without having to change the device selected by the AVR480 or the remote. To program the remote for Channel Control
1.Press the Input Selector Button f for the device you’ll be using (e.g., VCR) when you wish to have Channel Punch- Through active and the Mute Button 37 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector f and the Program Indicator c flashes amber.
2.Press the Volume Down Button 33 . The Program Indicator c will stop flashing and stay amber.
3.Press and release the Input Selector Button f for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program Indicator c will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.
EXAMPLE: To control the channels using your Cable Box or Satellite Receiver while the remote is set to control the VCR, first press the VID1/ VCR Input Selector Button f and the Mute Button 37 at the same time. Next, release them and press the Volume Down Button 33 , followed by the VID2/CBL/SAT Input Selector Button e.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control
Transport Control Punch-Through
The AVR480’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the Transport Control Functions w (Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR, cas- sette deck, DVD or CD will operate in con- junction with one of the other devices con- trolled by the remote. For example, while using and controlling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your VCR without having to
