Programming the Remote

Notes on Using the AVR

Remote With Other Devices.

•Manufacturers may use different code sets for the same product category. For that reason, it is important that you check to see if the code set you have entered operates as many controls as possible. If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see if another code set will work with more buttons.

•Depending on the brand and product type used the functions listed in the Function List tables may not correspond with the function the unit reacts on the command. In these cases it’s a good idea to edit the reaction of the unit into the corresponding line of the table or to set up a separate list.

•When a button is pressed on the AVR remote, the red light under the Input Selector cy for the product being operated should flash briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for some but not all buttons for a particular product, it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote, but rather that no function is programmed for the button being pushed.

Punch-Through Programming

The AVR 355/AVR 255 remote’s punch-through feature allows you to select one component for the remote to operate, while simultaneously set- ting certain groups of controls to operate anoth- er component. For example, while using the AVR to control surround modes and other audio func- tions, you may operate the transport controls of your DVD player. Or while using the remote to control video functions on your TV,you may use your cable box to change channels.

To program punch-through control while operat- ing any device:

1.Press and hold the Source Selector (or AVR selector) for the main device the remote will be operating. The Source Selector will light, go dark and then light up again, indicating the remote is in Program mode and that you may release the button.

2.Select the type of punch-through program- ming.

a)To program channel control punch-through, press the Channel Up Button.

b)To program transport control punch- through, press the Play Button.

3.Press the Source Selector for the device whose channel or transport controls you would like to be active while operating the device you selected in the first step. The Source Selector will flash to confirm the programming.

For example, if you wish to watch your TV while changing channels using your cable box, first press the TV Button until it lights. Then press the Channel Up Button, followed by the CBL/SAT Button.

To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, but press the same Source Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

NOTE: The remote always allows volume-control punchthrough, since the Volume and Mute con- trols are dedicated to the AVR.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home-theater system, occasionally you may wish to totally reprogram the remote control without the confusion of any commands, activities or ”Punch- Through“ programming that you may have done. To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the original factory defaults and command codes by following these steps. Note, however, that once the remote is reset, all commands or codes that you have entered will be erased and will need to be re-entered:

1.Press the TV Device Button c and the "0" number Button k simultaneously. The TV button lights up.

2.Press the ”3“ button k three times.

3.After a number of seconds, depending on the number of commands that are programmed and need erasing, all the Device Buttons c as well as the AVR Button y blink 3 times to indicate that the remote has been reset to the factory settings.
