Programming the Remote

Example: One blink, followed by a one-second pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a one- second pause, followed by four blinks indicates that the code has been set to 164.

Learning Codes from a Remote (AVR 355 Remote only)

In addition to using codes from the remote’s internal code library, the AVR 355’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 355’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 w on the AVR 355 remote “head-to-head.” The remotes should be between 2 and 4 cm 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 must be any of the Input Selectors 4or the AVR Selector 5. Note that when new codes are learned with the AVR Selector 5, they may no longer control the AVR 355.

3.Press the Input Selector cy button under which you wish to learn one or more but- tons. Now press the Learn Button (T) for 3 sec- onds. The Input Button that you pressed last lights up. It is important that you begin the next step within 25 seconds.

4.Press the button on the AVR 355 remote that you wish to program. Note that the Input Button blinks once.

Important Note: The following buttons are

learnable: DEVICE POWER ON/OFF,0~9, LAST, BACK/EXIT,MENU, UP,DOWN, LEFT,RIGHT,OK,

DISC MENU, RED, GREEN,YELLOW, BLUE, CHANNEL UP/DOWN,VOLUME UP/DOWN, MUTE, PREVIOUS, NEXT,FF,REW, PLAY,STOP, RECORD (Total 37 keys). These buttons can be programmed differently in each DEVICE mode. If you try to select a non-learnable button, the Input Button blinks rapidly.

5.Place the two remotes facing each other at 2- 4cm distance. Now press and hold the button on the original remote that you wish to “teach” into the AVR 355 remote. When the Input Button on the AVR 355 blinks 3 times, the code has been learned.

6.Repeat steps 4 though 5 for each button on the source remote that you wish to transfer to the AVR 355 remote.

7.Once all codes have been transferred from the original source remote to the AVR 355 remote, press the Learn button t. The Input Button blinks 3 times and the light extinguishes to indi- cate that Learn mode is turned off.

8.Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any additional remotes you wish to “teach” into the AVR 355 Remote.

Erasing Learned Codes

TheAVR 355’s remote allows you to remove or erase the code learned into a single button for a single device, to remove or erase all the codes that have been learned for a single device, or to erase all commands that have been learned to all devices.

To erase a single learned code from within a single device’s settings, follow these steps:

1.Press and release the Input Selector cy within which the individual button to be erased has been programmed.

2.Press the Learn Button t for 3 seconds.The Input Button pressed before lights up.

3.Press and release the Input Selector cy again for the device within which the individual button to be erased has been programmed.

4.Press the 7 button k three times.

5.Press and release the individual button for which the code is to be erased. The Input Button selected blinks 3 times.

6.To erase other buttons within the same device, press them as noted in Step 5.

7.Press the Learn Button t for 3 seconds. The Input Button pressed before lights up.

To erase all codes within a single device, follow these steps:

1.Press and release the Input Selector cy for which you wish to erase the codes.

2.When the red LED under the Input Selector turns red and the Program/SPL Indicator 2 flashes amber, release the buttons.

3.Press and release the same Input Selector cy again for the device whose codes you wish to erase.

4.Press the 8 button k three times.

5.Input Button selected blinks 3 times and extin- guishes.

To erase all codes that have been pro- grammed to all devices in the remote, follow these steps:

1.Press the Learn button t for 3 seconds.

2.Press and release any Input Selector button cy.

3.Press the 9 button k three times.

4.The Input Button selected blinks 3 times and extinguishes.All buttons in all modes are now reset to the original code set.
