Programming the Remote
Activity Programming (Macros)
Activities 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, an Activity will send out up to 19 different remote codes in a
1.To start programming an activity, press the Activity button n and one of the
2.Enter the steps for the activity sequence by pressing the button for the actual command step. Although the activity may contain up to 19 steps, each button press, including those used to change devices, counts as a step. The Device LED will blink once to confirm each button press as you enter commands.
•Remember to press the appropriate Input Selector button c before functions are changed to another device. This is also needed for the AVR Selector button y itself, as long as it’s not lit red and AVR functions shall be programmed.
3.When all the steps have been entered, press the Activity button n again to enter the commands. The red light under the Input Selector cy will blink three times and then turn off.
Note: It can take up to 10 seconds to send out 19 commands from an Activity Button. Please continue to point the remote control at the device(s) until all the commands on the Activity Button have been sent out. This will ensure that all the commands are received by the device(s).
Example: Activity Button Programming.
To program Activity Button “2” to send the fol- lowing commands: turn on the Audio receiver, turn on the TV,turn on a DVD, and turn on a Satellite receiver.
Press the Activity Button “2” and the ACTIVITY button, simultaneously.
Press the AVR device button(to change to the AVR mode)
Press the AVR POWER ON button(to turn on the Audio receiver)
Press the TV device button(to change to the TV mode)
Press the DEVICE POWER ON button(to turn on the TV)
Press the DVD device button(to change to the DVD mode)
Press the DEVICE POWER ON button(to turn on the DVD)
Press the SAT device button(to change to the SAT mode)
Press the DEVICE POWER ON button(to turn on the SAT receiver)
10. Press the ACTIVITY button.
After following these steps, each time you press the Activity Button n, followed by pressing the "2" Button where the Activity is pro- grammed,, the remote will send all Power On commands.
The "2" Button only sends the programmed Activity when the Activity Button n is pressed first. Otherwise, Button "2" sends the normal, numerical 2.
Erasing Activity Buttons
Press the Activity button n and the Activity Button (0~9, or AVR POWER ON) that you wish to program, simultaneously. The Device LED will light up.
Press the Activity button n again. The Device LED blinks three times.
Note: Any previously stored commands on an Activity Button will be erased when new com- mands are stored on the same Activity Button.
Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR’s remote has been programmed for the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input Selector c to change the remote from control over the AVR to the additionalproduct. When you press any of these buttons,it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled.
When operating a device other than the AVR, the controls may not correspond exactly to the func- tion printed on the remote or button. Some com- mands, such as the volume control, are the same as they are with the AVR. Other buttons will change their function so that they correspond to a secondary label on the remote. For example, the Sleep and Surround mode selector buttons also function as the Channel Up and Channel Down buttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs or
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 controls, consult the Function List tables printed on page
To find out what function a particular button has for a specific device, find the button number on the Function List and then look in the column for the device you are controlling. Most of the but- tons are fairly straightforward, as they perform identical functions for all devices, but some have other functions for some devices.
