4.Once the “old” device type has been selected, you need to tell the remote which set of remote codes to use as a replacement for the device just selected. When the instructions shown in Figure 36 appear, press the ⁄¤
Navigation Buttons Eto scroll through the list of device categories to find the name of the device that you wish to use. The old device name will remain on the left side of the LCD screen, while the replacement device list will scroll to its right. For example, press the
⁄ Navigation Buttons Euntil the display screen reads TV<-VCRto have the VID 2/TV Button transmit the commands used to control a VCR. Press the Set Button Fwhen the desired device combination appears.

5.Once the new device is selected, the remain- der of the process will select the codes for the specific brand to be used, and for that reason they are identical to the way a device is pro- grammed using manual entry. Continue the process as outlined in the next few steps, remembering that if the codes for your specific device are not found you may select any brand and then “learn” the proper codes into the AVR remote using the process outlined on page 43. To begin the process, start by select- ing the brand of device, as shown in Figure 19. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until the brand name of the device you are programming into the remote appears on the lower line of the display and then press the Set Button F.
6.The next step is important, as it determines which codes will operate the source device or display. Point the AVR remote at the device being programmed and, following the instruc- tions shown on the remote’s LCD Information Display 2, press and release the Numeric Keys Hone at a time, start- ing with the “1” button. After you press the “1” Button Hthe remote’s LCD screen will briefly go blank as the code is being transmit- ted, but you will see the “transmit” icon in the upper right corner of the display to serve as confirmation that the remote is sending out commands.
7.After you press and release the number key, watch the device being programmed to see whether it turns off. As shown in the instruc- tions that will appear on the next menu screen (Figure 21), press the Set Button F, and then skip to Step 9. If the unit does not turn off, proceed to the next step.
8.If the device being programmed into the AVR
remote does NOT turn off after you have pressed the “1” key, continue Steps 6 and 7 by pressing the available numeric keys shown until the device turns off. If the device still does not turn off after all choices have been tried, the code for this specific device is not in the AVR remote library under that brand name. If that is the case, we suggest that you press the Set Button Fto accept the codes from another brand so that the pro- gramming is completed, but remember that you will then have to program the remote manually by following the Learning Commands instructions on page 43.
9.When the device being programmed does turn off after a numeric key has been pressed, you must press the Set Button F within five seconds to enter the setting into the remote’s memory. After you press the Set button, the top line of the LCD display will read SAVING... and then the word SAVED will flash four times in the center of the bot- tom line.
10.When the codes are saved the remote will return to normal operation, and whenever you press the Input Selector Button 4 that was just programmed, the display will show the original device type code at the far left side of the display, with the name of the new code set type in brackets. For example, the display will read TV<-VCRin our exam- ple of replacing the TV codes with those for a VCR.
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of multiple remote control commands with the touch of a single button.
Once a macro is programmed you may send up to 20 commands with one press of the Power On or Macro buttons. This will greatly simplify the process of turning on your system, changing devices or other common tasks. Thanks to the remote’s two-line display, it is easier than ever for you to take advantage of the power of macro commands.
Recording a Macro
To record a macro into the remote’s memory, follow these steps:
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 button 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 E three times so that MACRO appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 37. Press the Set Button Fto enter the main macro menu branch.

4.The next display screen (Figure 39) is where you select the button that will be used to recall the macro. The choices are the Power On Button 3or one of the discrete Macro
Buttons . Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil the name of the button you wish to program the macro into is shown. For this example we will show how to program a series of commands that will automatically be sent out every time the Power button is pressed.

5.The next screen that appears (Figure 40) is where you select the device for the first com- mand that will be sent out as part of the macro. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil the name of the device appears on the left side of the lower line in the LCD dis- play. For this example, the first button we want to have the macro “press” is the Power On button, so the AVR device is selected. Press the Set Button Fwhen the desired device name appears to move to the next program- ming step.

6.The next display (Figure 41) is where you begin entering the individual commands for the macro, in the order you wish them to be transmitted. Remember that when you want to change devices, you must first press the Input Selector 45for that button, and then press the Command or Function key. Since we want to program a series of events that occur each time the Power On button is pressed, press the AVR button. In your specific macro, this is the first command button.
