Press the Set Button q to enter the setting, and then follow the instructions as displayed in the LCD display. (For complete information, see page 26.)

EzSet Microphone Sensor: The microphone sensor that is used by the EzSet system is behind the three slots at the top of the remote control. When using EzSet to calibrate the AVR 430, be certain that the slots are not covered. (See page 26 for more information on using EzSet.)

Lens: The infrared emitters behind the plastic lens at the top of the remote communicate the remote codes to the AVR 430. Be certain that the lens is not covered when using the remote, and point the lens toward the AVR for best results. In learning mode, the remote receives IR codes to be learned through a sensor behind the lens.

NOTE: DO NOT remove the rubber plug that is supplied to cover the jack on the upper right side of the remote. The jack is not active and is reserved for future use.
