Programming the Remote

The AVR 7000 is equipped with a powerful remote control that will control not only the receiver’s functions, but also most popular brands of audio and video equipment, including CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater equipment. Once the AVR 7000’s remote is pro- grammed with the codes for the products you own, it is possible to eliminate most other remotes and replace them with the convenience of a single, backlit universal remote control.

Programming the Remote

As shipped from the factory, the remote

is fully programmed for all AVR 7000 functions, as well as those of most Harman Kardon CD changers, DVD players, CD players and cassette decks. In addition, by following one of the methods below, you may program the remote to operate a wide range of devices from other manufacturers.

Direct Code Entry

This method is the easiest way to program your remote to work with different products.

1.Use the tables in the following pages to determine the three-digit code or codes that match both the product type (e.g., VCR, TV), and the specific brand name. If there is more than one number for a brand, make note of the different choices.

2.Turn on the unit you wish to program into the AVR 7000 remote.

3.Press and hold both the Input or Video Selector c 34 for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button f at the same time. Hold both buttons until the red light under the Selector buttonc 34 stays lit. Note that the next step must take place while the red light is on, and it must begin within 20 seconds after the light illuminates.

4.Point the AVR 7000’s remote towards the unit to be programmed, and enter the first three-digit code number using the Numeric Keys buttons q. If the unit turns off, the correct code has been entered. Press the Input or Video Selector c 34 again, and note that the red light will flash twice before going dark to confirm the entry.

5.If the device to be programmed in does NOT turn off, continue to enter the three-digit code numbers until the equipment turns off. At this point, the correct code has been

entered. Press the Input or Video Selector c 34 again and note that the red light will flash twice before going dark to confirm the entry.

6.Try all of the functions on the remote to make certain that the product operates properly. Keep in mind that many manufac- turers use a number of different combina- tions of codes, so it is a good idea to make certain that not only does the Power control work, but that the volume, channel and transport controls work as they should. If functions do not work properly, you may need to use a different remote code.

7.If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit off, if the code for your product does not appear in the tables in this manual, or if not all functions operate properly, try programming the remote with the Auto Search Method.

Auto Search Method

If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 7000’s remote is not listed in the code tables in this manual or if the code does not seem to operate properly, you may wish to program the correct code using the Auto Search method that follows:

1.Turn on the unit that you wish to include in the AVR 7000 remote.

2.Press the Input or Video Selector c

34 for the type of product to be entered

(e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button f at the same time. Hold both buttons until the red light under the button c 34 stay lit. Note that the next step must take place while the red light is on, and it must begin within 20 seconds after the light illuminates.

3.Point the AVR 7000 remote towards the unit to be programmed, and press and hold the Surround Mode Selector

31 or the Sleep button 33 . This will send out a series of codes from the remote’s built- in data base, with each flash of the red light under the Input or Video Selector c

34 indicating that a code has been sent. When the device to be programmed turns off, IMMEDIATELY release the Surround Mode or Sleep button.

4.Press the Input or Video Selector c

34 again, and note that the red light will

flash twice before going dark to confirm the entry.

5.Try all of the functions on the remote to make certain that the product operates. Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a number of different combinations of codes, and it is a good idea to make certain that not only the Power control works, but the volume, channel and transport controls, as appropriate. If all functions do not work properly, you may need to Auto-Search for a different code, or enter a code via the Direct Code Entry method.

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 reen- tered 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 or Video Selector c 34 for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button f at the same time. Hold both buttons until the red light under the buttons c 34 stay lit. Note that the next step must take place while the red light is on, and it must begin within 20 seconds after the light illuminates.

2.Press the Test Tone button e. The red light under the Input or Video Selector c

34 will blink in a sequence that corre- sponds to the three-digit code, with a one- second pause between each digit. Count the number of blinks between each pause to determine the digit of the code. One blink is the number 1, two blinks is the number 2, and so forth. Ten blinks are 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 ten blinks indi- cates that the code has been set to 160.
