PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Programming the Remote
The AVR 125 is equipped with a powerful remote control that will control both the receiver’s functions and most popular brands of audio and video equip- ment, including CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home theater equipment. Once the AVR 125’s remote is programmed 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, univer- sal remote control.
As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully pro- grammed for all AVR 125 functions, as well as those of most Harman Kardon CD changers, DVD players, CD recorders, CD players and cassette decks. In addition, by following one of the methods below, you may pro- gram 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
2.Turn on the unit you wish to program into the AVR 125 remote.
3.Press and hold both the Input Selector e for the product you wish to control (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute Button 36 at the same time.When the Program Indicator c turns amber and begins flashing, and the Input Selector e turns red, release the buttons. It is important that you begin the next step within 20 seconds.
4.Point the AVR 125’s remote towards the unit to be programmed and enter the first
5.If the device to be programmed in does NOT turn off, continue to enter
under the Input Selector e will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.
6.Try all of the functions on the remote to make cer- tain that the product operates properly. Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a number of different combinations of codes, so it is a good idea to make certain that not only the power con- trol, but 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 oper- ate properly, try programming the remote with the Auto Search Method.
Auto Search Method
If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 125’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 125 remote.
2.Press the Input Selector e for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute Button 36 at the same time. Hold both buttons until the red light under the Input Selector e stays lit and the Program Indicator c turns amber and begins flashing. Note that the next step must take place while the red light is on, and it must begin within 20 seconds after the light appears.
3.Point the AVR 125 remote toward the unit to be programmed and press either the ⁄ or ¤ Button mq. The Program Indicator c will change to a flashing green to indicate that a code has been entered. Each press will send out a three- digit code from the remote’s
4.Press the Input Selector e, and note that the red light under the Input Selector will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.
5.Try all of the functions on the remote to make cer- tain 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 also that the volume, channel and
transport controls function properly. 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 reentered if neces- sary. 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 Selector e for the device for which you wish to find the code and the Mute Button 36 at the same time. Note that the Program Indicator c will initally turn amber. Release the buttons and begin the next step within 20 seconds.
2.Press the Set Button o. The Program Indicator c will then blink green in a sequence that corresponds to the
Example: One blink, followed by a
