Learning Codes for an Input Selector

Programming the Remote

2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 26), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button F will remain illuminated in red. Press the Navigation Buttons E once so that Learn appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 36. Press the Set Button F to begin the process of learning commands from another device’s remote into the AVR remote.

3.The SELECT A DEVICE message will appear in the LCD display (Figure 27). Press the ⁄¤

Navigation Buttons E to scroll through the list of device categories and press the Set Button F when the device for which you wish to set the codes appears. For this example, we will select “TV” to enter the codes needed to operate your TV.

4.The next menu screen (Figure 37) will prompt you to select the button, or “key,” on the AVR remote that you wish to program. Press that button on the AVR remote.

5.Once you press the button to be programmed on the AVR remote, press and hold the button on the remote control for the device to be programmed within five seconds, as instructed on the next menu screen (Figure 38).

6.Continue to hold the button on the original remote until the menu on the AVR remote’s LCD screen changes. If the code is successfully learned you will see the display shown in Figure 39. If you see that menu, proceed to Step 9. If the code is not successfully learned, you will see the display shown in Figure 40. If that menu appears, proceed to Step 7.

7.If the message shown in Figure 36 appears in the display, press the Set Button F to try programming the button again. When the remote prompts you to press and hold the key on the original remote again by showing the display shown in Figure 38, immediately press the button on the source remote again. To avoid another failed attempt, make certain that the windows on the two remotes are facing one another.

8.Continue to hold the button on the original remote until the AVR’s display changes again. If the code was successfully learned, you will see the display shown in Figure 35. In that case, skip to the next step. If the LEARN FAILED display (Figure 40) appears again you may either try to program the key again, or press the Navigation Buttons E to stop the process. It is possible that some remotes may use code sequences or infrared frequencies that are not compatible with the AVR remote, and those codes cannot be learned. When the display shown in Figure 41 appears, press the Set Button F to exit the Learning system.

9.When a code has been learned successfully, you have three options. When the display shown in Figure 39 is on the LCD screen on the AVR remote, you may press the Set Button F to learn additional codes from the buttons on a remote into the AVR remote. Follow Steps 4 through 8 as often as needed to complete the code-learning process.

10.If you wish to change the name that appears in the LCD display when the button that has just had a new code learned is pressed, press the Navigation Buttons E so that the display shown in Figure 42 appears in the LCD display. Press the Set Button F to open the RENAME KEY menu. Enter the new name for the key following the instructions shown in the Renaming Individual Keys section of this manual on page 60. If you find it more convenient to rename the buttons at a later time, you may do that separately by following the instructions on page 59.

11.When you have programmed all keys for the desired device, press the Navigation Buttons E twice when the LEARN MENU (Figure 39) appears so that you see the display show in Figure 43. The remote will return to normal operation.

12.If you wish to program the codes for another device, repeat the procedure outline above, but select a different device in Step 3.

Learning Codes for an Input Selector

The AVR 645’s remote allows you to learn a specific code to be attached to one of the Input Selectors 4 so that whenever that button is pressed, you will not only be selecting that device as the AVR’s input and telling the remote to use the remote codes that have been pro- grammed to belong to that device, it also allows you to have that special code transmitted, as well. This allows you to have an input (or other command) sent to a display so that when video sources are directly connected to the display, you can automatically command it to switch to the same input selected for the AVR.

To learn a remote code into one of the Input Selectors 4, follow the same steps shown above for learning the keys for an entire device remote with the following exceptions:

In Step 3, press the /¤ Navigation Button E until LEARN DEVICE appears in the bottom line of the LCD display.

When the SELECT A DEVICE message (Figure 36) appears, as described in Step 4, press the specific Input Selector Button 4 that you wish to have transmit a special code when it is pressed.

When the RENAME DEVICE option is offered by the remote after the code is pro- grammed, you will be changing the name that is shown in the remote’s LCD display every time that Input Selector is pressed.

Device Priority

After having programmed or learnt the different sources, you can set the Device Priority. The default setting is that after pressing one of the Input Selectors and any of its function keys, the remote control defaults back to controlling the AVR functions after 6 seconds. You can either extend this time to 12 seconds, or leave the remote control to control the last used source, by following the steps below.

1.Press and hold the Program Button until the MAIN MENU appears.

2.Press the ¤ Navigation Button E until

DEVICE PRIORITY appears. Press the Set Button F.

3.Press the /¤ Navigation Button E to select the requested setting. Confirm the setting by pressing the Set Button F.
