Programming the Remote

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 4500’s remote has been pro- grammed for the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input Selector 4to change the remote from control over the AVR 4500 to the additional product. When you press any of these buttons, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.

When operating a device other than the AVR 4500, the controls may not correspond exactly to the function printed on the remote or button. Some commands, such as the volume control, are the same as they are with the AVR 4500. Other buttons will change their function so that they correspond to a secondary label on the remote. For example, the Sleep and Surround mode selec- tor buttons also function as the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs or Sat-Receivers.

For some products, however, the function of a particular button does not follow the command printed on the remote. In order to see which function a button controls, consult the Function List tables printed on page 48. To use those tables, first check the type of device being con- trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote control diagram on page 48. Note that each but- ton has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button has for a specific device, find the button number on the Function List and then look in the column for the device you are controlling. For example, but- ton number 45 is the”Direct” button for the AVR 4500, but it is the “Favorite” button for many cable television boxes and satellite receivers. Button number 31 is the Delay button for the AVR 4500, but the Open/Close button for CD players.

Note that the numbers used to describe the but- ton functions above and on page 48 for the pur- poses 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 AVR 4500.

Notes on Using the AVR 4500

Remote With Other Devices.

Manufacturers may use different code sets for the same product category. For that reason, it is important that you check to see if the code set you have entered operates as many controls as possible. If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see if another code set will work with more buttons.

Depending on the brand and product type used the functions listed in the Function List tables may not correspond with the function the unit reacts on the command. In these cases it’s a good idea to edit the reaction of the unit into the corresponding line of the table or to set up a separate list.

When a button is pressed on the AVR 4500 remote, the red light under the Input Selector 4for the product being operated should flash briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for some but not all buttons for a particular product, it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote, but rather that no function is programmed for the button being pushed.

The remote was pre-programmed with codes for units of the latest generation, but some codes may differ from those needed for earlier units. When your device doesn’t react as listed in the function list (page 48/49), let the AVR 4500 remote learn the appropriate codes from the original remote (learning codes see page 43).

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 4500’s remote may be programmed to

operate the Volume Control and the Mute

from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For example, since the AVR 4500 will likely be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have the AVR’s volume activated although the remote is set to run the TV.

Either the AVR 4500 or TV volume control may be associated with any of the remote´s devices.

To program the remote for Volume Punch- Through, follow these steps:

1.Press the Input Selector 4for the unit you wish to have associated with the volume control

and the Mute button at the same time until the red light illuminates under the Input Selector 4and note that the Program/SPL Indicator 2will flash amber.

2. Press the Volume Up button and note that.the Program/SPL Indicator 2will stop flashing and stay amber.

3.Press either the AVR Selector 5or the Input Selector 4, depending on which sys- tem’s volume control you wish to have attached for the punch-through mode. The Program/SPL Indicator 2will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To have the AVR’s volume control acti- vated even though the remote is set to control the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector

4and the Mute button

at the same time.

Next, press the Volume Up button

, followed

by the AVR Input Selector 5.

 

NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to the original configuration after entering a Volume Punch-Through, you will need to repeat the steps shown above. However, press the same Input Selector in steps one and three.
