Learning Codes
In addition to using codes from the remote’s internal code library, the AVR580’s remote is able to “learn” codes from remotes that may not be in the code library. Also, you may use this function to “learn over” the codes from a prepro- grammed device to add functions not included in the preprogrammed codes. To learn or transfer codes from an IR remote to the AVR580’s remote, follow these steps:
1.Place the front of the original remote with the code being sent so that it is facing the IR Transmitter Window b on the AVR580 remote
2.Select the button on the remote that you wish to use as the device selector for the codes about to be entered. This may be any of the Input Selectors e.
3.Press the Input Selector e button chosen and the Learn Button 42 at the same time. Hold these buttons until the Program/SPL Indicator c flashes amber and the light under the device selector button turns red. Release the buttons.
4.Press the button on the AVR580 remote that you wish to program. The Program/SPL Indicator c will stop flashing.
5.Within five seconds, press and hold the button on the original remote that you wish to “teach” into the AVR580 remote. When the Program/SPL Indicator c turns green three times, release the button. The Program Indicator will then begin to flash amber again.
NOTE: If the Program/SPL Indicator c turns red during Step 5, the pro- gramming was not successful. Repeat the steps to see whether the code will “take.”
6.Repeat Steps 4 through 6 for each button on the source remote that you wish to transfer to the AVR580 remote.
7.Once all codes have been transferred from the original source remote to the AVR580 remote, press the Learn Button 42 .
8.Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any addi- tional remotes you wish to “teach” into the AVR580 remote.
Erasing Learned Codes
The AVR580’s remote allows you to remove or erase the code learned into a single button for a single device, to remove or erase the code set for all the codes that have been programmed into specific device buttons, or to erase all commands that have been learned to all devices.
To erase a single learned code from within a single device’s settings, follow these steps:
1.Press and hold both the Input Selector e within which the individual button to be erased has been programmed and the Learn Button 42 .
2.When the LED under the Input Selector turns red and the Program/ SPL Indicator c flashes amber, release the buttons.
3.Press and release the Input Selector e again for the device within which the individual button to be erased has been programmed.
4.Press the 7 Button r four times.
5.Press and release the individual button for which the code is to be erased. The Program/SPL Indicator c will blink green two times and then return to amber.
6.To erase other buttons within the same device, press them as described in Step 5.
7.When all buttons to be erased have been pressed, press the Learn Button 42 to complete the process.
To erase all codes within a single device, follow these steps:
1.Press and hold both the Input Selector e for which you wish to erase the codes and the Learn Button 42 .
2.When the LED under the Input Selector turns red and the Program/ SPL Indicator c flashes amber, release the buttons.
3.Press and release the Input Selector e again for the device whose codes you wish to erase.
4.Press the 8 Button r four times.
5.The Program/SPL Indicator c will turn off and the red light under the Input Selector will flash on and off once to indicate that the codes have been erased.
To erase all codes that have been pro- grammed to all devices in the remote, follow these steps:
1.Press any Input Selector e for which you wish to erase the codes and also the Learn Button 42 .
2.When the LED under the Input Selector turns red and the Program/ SPL Indicator c flashes amber, release the buttons.
3.Press and release the Input Selector e again for the device whose codes you wish to erase.
4.Press the 9 Button r four times.
5.The Program/SPL Indicator c will turn off and the red light under the Input Selector will flash on and off once to indicate that the codes have been erased.
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used combinations of com- mands with the press of a single button on the AVR580’s remote control. Once programmed, a macro will send out up to 19 different remote codes in a predeter- mined sequential order, enabling you to automate the process of turning on your system, changing devices, or other com- mon tasks. The AVR580’s remote can store up to five separate macro command sequences: one that is associated with the Power On Button a and four more that are accessed by pressing the Macro Buttons 31 .
1.Press the Mute Button 43 and the Macro Button 31 to be pro- grammed or the Power On Button a at the same time. An Input Selector ef will light red, and the Program/SPL Indicator c will flash amber.
2.Enter the steps for the macro sequence by pressing the button for the actual command step. Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps, each button press, including those used to change devices, counts as a step. The Program/SPL Indicator
