Making Connections, Set Up the Remote Control

to control more than one source device through the Avr’s Ir remote out connector, connect all sources in “daisy chain” fashion, connecting each device’s Ir output to the next device’s Ir input, starting with the Avr.

If you install a multizone system, connect an Ir control device to the Zone 2 Ir In connector for remote-room control of the multizone system, source devices and volume in the remote zone.

If a source device is shared with the main listening area, any control commands issued to that source will also affect the main room.

Connect the 12V Trigger Output

If your system has equipment that can be controlled by a dc trigger signal, connect it to the Avr’s 12v trigger connector with a mono 1/8-inch (3.5mm) mini-plug interconnect cable. the Avr will supply a 12v dc (100mA) trigger signal at this connection whenever it is powered on.

Program the Remote to Control Your Source Devices and TV

you can program your Avr remote to control many brands and models of audio/video source devices and tvs. the remote is also ready to operate your ipod or iphone when the ipod/iphone is docked in a connected the bridge IIIp (not included).

each of the remote’s Source Selector buttons has been preprogrammed to control certain types of source devices:

Cable/Sat: controls cable tv and satellite tv tuner boxes

Blu-ray:controls blu-ray disc and dvd players

Bridge: controls an ipod/iphone device docked in a connected the bridge IIIp

Radio: controls the Avr’s built-in fm/Am tuner and a connected SIrIuSconnect tuner

TV: controls tvs and video displays

USB (AVR 3650/AVR 365): browses compatible media on a uSb device that is inserted in the Avr’s uSb port (Avr 3650/Avr 365 only)

DVR (AVR 2650/AVR 265): controls tivo® recorders

Game: controls video-game consoles

Media Server: controls media servers

Network: browses compatible media on dlnA-compatible devices connected to your home network.

AUX: controls hdtv tuner boxes, cd players, vcrs and pvds.

Although the Source Selector buttons are preprogrammed for the device types listed above, you can reassign a Source Selector button to a different device type. See reassigning a Source Selector button for a different device type, on page 24.
