Renaming
While the names given to the buttons and inputs on the remote represent recognizable categories of audio/video products, system operation may be easier if the displays shown in the remote’s LCD screen are customized to reflect the specific characteristics of a playback source’s brand name or the new function given to a specific button when one remote’s controls are programmed into the AVR remote. The AVR remote allows you to change the name of either a master device or any button on the remote using the following steps.
Renaming a Device
To rename a specific device/input source button, fol- low these steps. For this example, we will show you how to rename the Device/Input Selector normally shown as “TV” to “HDTV TUNER.”
1.Press and hold the Program Button Ofor about 3 seconds while the message shown in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button F appears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 26), will appear in the LCD and the Set Button q will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil RENAME appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen,
as shown in Figure 75.

3.At the next menu screen, press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil RENAME DEVICE appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 76. Press the Set Button Fto begin renaming a device.

4.The next display screen (Figure 77) is where you select the device that will be renamed. In our example, that is the TV button. Press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil the name of the base device appears and then press the Set Button F.

5.At the next menu screen, you will see the device name on the bottom line of the display with a blinking cursor box to the right of the device name. Press the ‹ Navigation Button Dto return the blinking cursor to the far left side of the display line. You may then retitle the device name as shown in the next step.
6.To enter the new name, press the Numeric Keys
c.The letters above the numbered buttons indicate which letter or symbol will appear when the button is pressed during the renaming process. The first press of the button will enter the first letter shown, subsequent presses of the same button will change the display to the other letters above that numbered key. For example, since the first letter we need to rename the input to HDTV Tuner is an “H”, you would locate the “H” above the “4” button, and press the button twice. The first press shows a “G,” the second press changes it to an “H.” Consult the table at the end of this section to see which characters pressing a partic- ular button generates.
7.After you enter the first letter of the new device name, there are three options for entering the next character:
a.To enter a letter that requires a different numeric key to be pressed, simply press that button. The cursor will automatically move to the next position and the first letter accessed by the new button will appear. Following our example, the next letter needed is a “D,” so you would press the “3” button once.
b.To enter a letter that uses the same numeric key, you must first press the › Navigation Button Dto move the blinking cursor block to the next position. Then press the Numeric Key cas required to enter the desired letter.
c.To enter a blank space, press the › Navigation Button Dtwice. The first press will move the cursor to the right, and the second press will move the cursor one more space to the right, leaving a blank space between the last letter and the next one.
8.Repeat Step 7 as needed to enter all the needed letters, numbers, characters and spaces.
9.When the text entry is complete, press the Set Button F. The LCD will blink DEVICE RENAMED three times and then return to normal operation.
Once a device is renamed you will see the new name on the top line of the remote’s LCD whenever the Input//Device Selector 3is pressed, or when any other command/function button on the remote is pressed after the main Device Selector is pressed. Note that renaming a device in the remote will not change the name of the input used by the
NOTES ON RENAMING DEVICES:
•To move the cursor to the right or left of the display during the renaming process, press the ‹/ › Navigation Buttons Das required.
•The table below shows the letters, numbers and characters that may be accessed by pressing the Numeric Keys:
Key | Characters | Key | Characters |
1 | [,],/,1 | 6 | M,N,O,6 |
2 | A,B,C,2 | 7 | P,Q,R,S,7 |
3 | D,E,F,3 | 8 | T,U,V,8 |
4 | G,H,I,4 | 9 | W,X,Y,Z,9 |
5 | J,K,L,5 | 0 |
•Renaming a device changes the name of the device only, not any of the individual key functions within that device memory. To change the name of an individual device, follow the instructions in the next section.
Renaming Individual Keys
Thanks to the programming flexibility of the AVR remote, an individual button on the remote may be assigned a feature or function that is different from the name that appears as the factory default when the button is pressed. However, with the Rename Key function it is possible to rename almost any button on the remote so that when the button is pressed you will see a more descriptive or appropriate name displayed.
To rename a specific button on the remote, follow these steps. For this example, we will show you how to rename the DSP Surround Mode Selector 6, which is normally not used when DVD is selected, so that it reads ZOOM in the remote’s display.
1.Press and hold the Program Button Ofor about 3 seconds while the message shown in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button F appears.
