Programming the Remote

Notes on Using the AVR 520 Remote With Other Devices.

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

•When a button is pressed on the AVR 520 remote, the red light under the Input Selector e for the product being operat- ed 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.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 520’s remote may be programmed to operate the Volume Control 40 and Mute

43functions of either the TV or the AVR 520 in conjunction with any of the devices con- trolled by the remote. For example, since the AVR 520 will likely be used as the sound sys- tem for TV viewing, you may wish to have the AVR 520’s volume activated, although the remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 520 or TV volume control may be associated with any of the remote’s devices. To program the remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1.Press the Input Selector e for the unit you wish to have associated with the volume control and the Mute Button 43 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and note that the Program/SPL Indicator c will flash amber.

2.Press the Volume Up Button 40 and note that the Program/SPL Indicator c will stop flashing and stay amber.

3.Press either the AVR Selector for the Input Selector e, depending on which system’s volume control you wish to have attached for the punch-through mode. The Program/SPL Indicator cwill blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To have the AVR 520’s volume control activated even though the remote is set to control the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector eand the Mute Button 43 at the same time. Next, press the Volume Up Button 40 , fol- lowed by the AVR Selector f.

NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to the original configuration after entering a Volume Punch-Through, you will need to repeat the steps shown above. However, press the same Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 520’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the channel control function for either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be used in conjunction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For example, while using and controlling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a cable box or satellite receiver without having to change the device selected by the AVR 520 or the remote. To program the remote for Channel Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1.Press the Input Selector Button e for the device you wish to have the channel con- trol associated with and the Mute Button 43 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and the Program/ SPL Indicator c flashes amber.

2.Press the Volume Down Button 40 . The Program/SPL Indicator c will stop flash- ing and stay amber.

3.Press and release the Input Selector Button e for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program/SPL Indicator c will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To control the channels using your Cable Box or Satellite Receiver while the remote is set to control the VCR, first press the VID 1/VCR Input Selector Button e and the Mute Button 43 at the same time. Next, release them and press the Volume Down Button 40 , followed by the VID 2/TV Input Selector Button e.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch- Through and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat the steps shown in the

example above. However, press the VID 1/VCR Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 520’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the Transport Control Functions z(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in conjunction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For example, while using and controlling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your VCR or DVD with- out having to change the device selected by the AVR 520 or the remote. To program the remote for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1.Press the Input Selector e for the device you wish to have the channel control associ- ated with and the Mute Button 43 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and the Program/ SPL Indicator c flashes amber.

2.Press the Play Button z. The Program/ SPL Indicator c will stop flashing and stay amber.

3.Press and release the Input Selector Button e for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program/SPL Indicator c will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To control the transport of a DVD player while the remote is set to control the TV, first press the VID 2/TV Input Selector Button eand the Mute Button 43 at the same time. Next, release them and press the Play Button z, followed by the DVD Input Selector Button e.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch- Through and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat the steps shown in the example above. However, press the VID 2/TV Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

NOTE: Before programming the remote for Volume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through, make certain that any programming needed for the specific TV, CD, DVD, Cable or Satellite Receivers has been completed.
