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 reentered 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 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.

2.Press the Master Volume Up or

Down button µ. The LED Indicator’s Œred light will blink in

a sequence that corresponds 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 indicates that the code has been set to 160.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR5’s remote has been pro- grammed for the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Device Control Selector to change the remote from control over the AVR5 to the additional product. When you press any of the Device Control Selectors, the LED Indicator Œwill briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.

When operating a device other than the AVR5, 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 with the AVR5. Other buttons will change their function so that they correspond to a secondary label on the remote. For example, the Surround Mode selector buttons also function as the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons when operat- ing most TV sets or VCRs. The Channel Up/Down indication is printed directly on the remote. The same is true for standard VCR and DVD functions, which follow the standard function icons printed on top of the buttons.

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 con- trols, consult the Function List tables printed in this manual. To use those tables, first check the type of device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote control diagram pictured on the following page. Note that each button has a number on it.
