Programming the Remote

Code Readout

When the code has been entered using the Auto Search method, it is always a good idea to find out the exact code so that it may be easily reentered if necessary. You may also read the codes to verify which device has been programmed to a specific Control Selector button.

1.Press and hold both the Input Selector 4 for the device you wish to find the code for and

the Mute button at the same time. Note that the Program/SPL Indicator 2will initally turn amber and begin flashing. Release the buttons and begin the next step within 20 seconds.

2.Press the Set button F. The Program/SPL Indicator 2will then blink green in a sequence that corresponds to the three-digit code, with a one-second pause between each digit. Count the number of blinks between each pause to deter- mine the digit of the code. One blink is the number 1, two blinks is the number 2, and so forth. Note that a rapid sequence of three blinks is used to indicate a “0.”

Example: One blink, followed by a one-second pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a one- second pause, followed by four blinks indicates that the code has been set to 164.

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of commands with the press of a single button on the AVR’s remote control. Once programmed, a macro will send out

up to 19 different remote codes in a pre-deter- mined sequential order enabling you to automate the process of turning on your system, changing devices, or other common tasks. The AVR’s remote can store up to five separate macro command sequences, one that is associated with the Power On button 3, and four more that are accessed

by pressing the Macro buttons

.

 

1. To start programming a macro, press the

 

Mute button

and the Macro button

to

be programmed or the Power-Onbutton 3at the same time. Note that the latest selected Input Selector will light red, and the Program/SPL Indicator 2will flash amber.

2.Enter the steps for the macro sequence by pressing the button for the actual command step. Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps, each button press, including those used to change devices, counts as a step.

The Program/SPL Indicator 2will flash green twice to confirm each button press as you enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power On of any device during a macro sequence, press the

Mute button . DO NOT press the Power ON button 3.

•Remember to press the appropriate Input Selector button 4before functions are changed to another device. This is also needed for the AVR Selector button 5itself, as long as it’s not lit red and AVR functions shall be pro- grammed.

3.When all the steps have been entered, press the Sleep button 9to enter the commands. The red light under the Input Selector 45 will blink and then turn off and the Program/SPL Indicator 2will flash green twice to confirm the macro to be programmed.

Example: To program the Macro 1 button so that it turns on the AVR, TV and a Sat-Receiver, follow these steps:

• Press the Macro 1 button and Mute buttons at the same time and then release them.

•Note that the Program/SPL Indicator will flash amber.

•Press the AVR Selector 5.

•Press the Mute button to store the AVR’s power on command.

•Press the VID 2 Input Selector button 4to indicate the next command is for “TV”.

•Press the Mute button to store the TV Power On Command.

•Press the VID 3 Input Selector button 4 to indicate the next command is for “Sat- Receiver”.

•Press the Mute button to store the Sat- Receiver Power On command.

•Press the Sleep/Channel Up button 9to complete the process and store the macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you press

the Macro 1 button , the remote will send all Power On commands.

Erasing Macro Commands

To remove the commands that have been pro- grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow these steps:

1. Press the Mute button

and the Macro

button

that contains the commands you

wish to erase.

 

2.Note that the Program/SPL Indicator 2 will flash amber, and the red LED under the Input Selector 45last used will turn on.

3.Within ten seconds, press the Surround Mode Selector/Channel Down button A.

4.The red LED under the Selector will go out, and the Program/SPL Indicator 2will turn green and flash three times before it goes out.

5.When the Program/SPL Indicator 2goes out, the Macro has been erased.
