Programming the Remote
The AVR 520 is equipped with a powerful remote control that will control not only the receiver’s functions, but also most popular brands of audio and video equipment, includ- ing CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home- theater equipment. Once the AVR 520’s remote is programmed with the codes for the products you own, it is possible to eliminate most other remotes and replace them with the convenience of a single, backlit universal remote control.
Programming the Remote
The AVR 520 remote is
Direct Code Entry
This method is the easiest way to program your remote to work with different products.
1.Use the tables in the following pages to determine the
2.Turn on the unit you wish to program into the AVR 520 remote.
3.Press and hold both the Input Selector e for the product you wish to control
(e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button 43 at the same time. When the Program/SPL Indicator c turns amber and begins flashing, release the buttons. It is important that you begin the next step within 20 seconds.
4.Point the AVR 520’s remote towards the unit to be programmed, and enter the first three- digit code number using the Numeric Keys r. If the unit turns off, the correct code has been entered. Press the Input Selector e again, and note that the red light will flash three times before going dark to con- firm the entry.
5.If the device to be programmed in does NOT turn off, continue to enter
Input Selector will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.
6.Try all of the functions on the remote to make certain that the product operates properly. Keep in mind that many manufac- turers use a number of different combina- tions of codes, so it is a good idea to make certain that not only the Power control, but the volume, channel and transport controls work as they should. If functions do not work properly, you may need to use a dif- ferent remote code.
7.If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit off, if the code for your product does not appear in the tables in this manual, or if not all functions operate properly, try programming the remote with the Auto Search Method.
Auto Search Method
If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 520’s remote is not listed in the code tables in this manual or if the code does not seem to operate properly, you may wish to program the correct code using the Auto Search method that follows:
1.Turn on the unit that you wish to include in the AVR 520 remote.
2.Press the Input Selector e for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button 43 at the same time.
Hold both buttons until the red light under the Input Selector e stays lit. Note that the next step must take place while the red light is on, and it must begin within 20 sec- onds after the light appears.
3.Point the AVR 520 remote towards the unit to be programmed, and press either ⁄ or ¤ button n. Each press will send out a series of codes from the remote’s
in use.
4.Press the Input Selector e, and note that the red light under the Input Selector will flash three times before going dark to confirm the entry.
5.Try all of the functions on the remote to make certain that the product operates. Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a number of different combinations of codes, and it is a good idea to make certain that not only the Power control works, but
also the volume, channel and transport con- trols, as appropriate. If all functions do not work properly, you may need to Auto- Search for a different code, or enter a code via the Direct Code Entry method.
Code Readout
When the code has been entered using the Auto Search method, it is always a good idea to find out the exact code so that it may be easily reentered if necessary. You may also read the codes to verify which device has been pro- grammed to a specific Control Selector button.
1.Press and hold both the Input Selector e for the device you wish to find the code for and the Mute button 43 at the same time. Note that the Program/SPL Indicator c will initally turn amber. Release the buttons and begin the next step within 20 seconds.
2.Press the Set button p. The Program/SPL Indicator c will then blink green in a sequence that corresponds to the
Example: One blink, followed by a

Learning Codes
In addition to using codes from the remote’s internal code library, the AVR 520’s remote is able to “learn”codes from remotes that may not be in the code library. In addition, you may use this function to “learn over” the codes from a preprogrammed device to add functions not included in the preprogrammed codes. To learn or transfer codes from an IR remote to the AVR 520’s remote, follow these steps:
1. Place the front of the original remote with
