Programming the Remote
26
The AVR5 is equipped with a powerful remote control that will control not only the receiver’s functions, but many popu- lar brands of video equipment, including TV sets, VCRs and DVD players. Once the AVR5’s remote is programmed with the codes for the products you own, it is pos- sible to eliminate most other remotes and replace them with the convenience of a single, universal remote control.
Programming the Remote
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
2.Turn on the component you wish to program into the AVR5 remote.
3.Press and hold both the Device
Control Selector ¶for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button 
at the same time. Hold both buttons until the LED Indicator Œlights to a red color. 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 AVR5’s remote towards the unit to be programmed, and enter the first
Numeric buttons V. If the unit turns off, the correct code has been entered. Press the Device Control Selector
¶again, and note that the red light will flash twice to confirm the entry before going dark.
5.If the device to be programmed in does NOT turn off, continue to enter the
¶again, and note that the red light will flash twice to confirm the entry before going dark.
6.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 dif- ferent 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 func- tions 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 all functions do not operate properly, try programming the remote with the Auto Search Method.
Auto Search Method
If the unit you wish to include in the AVR5’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 as shown below.
1.Turn on the component that you wish to program into the AVR5 remote.
2.Press the Device Control Selector
¶for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button 
at the same time. Hold both buttons until the LED Indicator’s Œred light 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.
3.Point the AVR5 remote towards the unit to be programmed, and press and hold one of the Surround/Channel buttons. This will send out a series of codes from the remote’s
the device to be programmed turns off, IMMEDIATELY release the
Surround/Channel button.
