Programming the Remote
Learning Codes
In addition to using codes from the remote’s internal code library, the AVR 7000’s remote is able to “learn” codes from remotes that may not be in the code library. In addition, you may use this function to “learn over” the codes from a preprogrammed device to add functions not included in the preprogrammed codes. To learn or transfer codes from an IR remote to the AVR 7000’s remote, follow these steps:
1.Place the front of the original remote with the code being sent so that it is facing the IR Transmitter Window 35 on the AVR 7000 remote “head-to-head.” The remotes should be between one and three inches apart.
2.Select the button on the remote that you wish to use as the device selector for the codes about to be entered. This may be any of the CD/Tape/DVD Input Selectors c or the Video Remote Selectors 34 .
3.Press the Device Selector button chosen c 34 and the Set Button i at the same time. Hold these buttons until the Program Indicator light a turns orange and the red light under the device selector button turns red. Release the buttons.
4.Press the button on the AVR 7000 remote that you wish to program. Note that the Program Indicator light a will begin to flash continuously and the red light under the device selector will go out. Note that any button on the remote EXCEPT the AVR button b, the CD/Tape/DVD Input Selectors c or the Video Remote Selectors 34 and the Light button t may be “taught” a remote code from another remote.
5.Within five seconds, press and hold the but- ton on the original remote that you wish to “teach” into the AVR 7000 remote. When the Program Indicator light a turns green, release the button. Note that the Program Indicator will then begin to flash orange again.
6.Within five seconds, press the same button on the source remote again to verify that the remote code has been learned correctly. The
Program Indicator light a will flash
green twice and then turn to a steady orange color indicating that the program- ming was successful.
NOTE: If the Program Indicator light a
turns red during step 5 or 6, the program- ming was not successful. Repeat the steps to see if the code will “take.”
7.Repeat steps 4 though 6 for each button on the source remote that you wish to transfer to the AVR 7000 remote.
8.Once all codes have been transferred from the original source remote to the AVR 7000 remote, press and hold the Device Selector button c 34 for the device being pro- grammed and the Set Button i at the same time until the Program Indicator light a flashes orange twice. Release the buttons.
9.Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for any additional remotes you wish to “teach” into the AVR 7000 Remote.
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 eight different remote codes in a pre- determined 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 Button d, and four more that are accessed by pressing the Macro buttons ruv.
1.Press any of the Input or Video Selectors c 34 and the Mute button f at the same time until the red light under the Device Control Selector turns on.
2.Press the button on the remote that you wish to use for this remote. This may be either the Power button d or any of the four Macro buttons ruv. However, it is recommended that to avoid confusion, the Power button only be used to enter turn-on/turn-off sequences. When you press the button the macro will be programmed
into the light under Selector button
c34 will blink once.
3.Enter up to eight steps for the macro sequence by pressing the Selector button
c34 for the device to be controlled and then pressing the button for the actual com- mand step. Although the macro may contain up to eight steps, each button press, includ- ing those used to change devices, count as a step. The red light under the Selector button c 34 will blink once to confirm each button press as you enter commands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power On/Off of any device during a macro sequence, press the Mute button f. DO NOT press the actual Power button.
4.When the eight steps have been entered, press the Sleep button 33 to enter the commands. The red light under the Input or Video Selectors c 34 will blink and then turn off.
Example: To program your TV, Cable Box and the AVR 7000 to turn on when the Power button is pressed, first press and hold down the AVR button aand Mute buttons funtil the red light comes on under the AVR button. Next, press the Mute button fto enter the Power command for the AVR. Press the TV Device Control Selector 34 to select the TV mode, and then press the Mute button fagain, to select TV Power. Finally, press the CBL Device Control Selector 34 followed by the Mute button fto select Cable Power. Press the Sleep button 33 to enter the commands.
After following these steps, each time you press the Power button d, the remote will send the Power On/Off command.
To remove a macro program, follow steps 1, 2 and 4 above, but ignore step three. For exam- ple, to erase the macro just entered, press the Device Selector c 34 and the Mute button f at the same time until the red light under the Device Control Selector turns on. Press the Power button d and then press the Sleep button 33 . The red light under the Device Control Selector will blink twice to confirm the data entry and then turn off.
