3.The SELECT A DEVICE message will appear in the LCD display (Figure 17). Press the ⁄¤
Navigation Buttons Eto scroll through the list of device categories and press the Set Button Fwhen the device for which you wish to set the codes appears. For this exam- ple, we will select “TV” to enter the codes needed to operate your TV.
4.The next menu screen (Figure 27) 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.

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 29. If you see that menu, proceed to Step 9. If the code is not successfully learned, you will see the display shown in Figure 30. If that menu appears, proceed to Step 7.

7.If the message shown in Figure 26 appears in the display, press the Set Button Fto 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 28, immediately press the button on the source remote again. To avoid another failed attempt, make certain that the windows on the two remotes are fac- ing 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 25. In that case, skip to the next step. If the LEARN FAILED display (Figure 30) appears again you may either try to program the key again, or press the ⁄ Navigation Buttons Eto 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 can- not be learned. When the display shown in Figure 31 appears, press the Set Button Fto exit the Learning system.

9.When a code has been learned successfully, you have three options. When the display shown in Figure 29 is on the LCD screen on the AVR remote, you may press the Set Button Fto 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
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 Eso that the display shown in Figure 32 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 instruc- tions shown in the Renaming Individual Keys section of this manual on page 48. 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 52.

Learning Codes for an Input Selector
The AVR 635’s remote allows you to learn a spe- cific code to be attached to one of the Input
Selectors 4so 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 Euntil LEARN DEVICE appears in the bottom line of the LCD display.
•When the SELECT A DEVICE message (Figure 26) appears, as described in Step 4, press the specific Input Selector Button 4that 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 Euntil
DEVICE PRIORITY appears. Press the Set Button F.
3.Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button Eto select the requested setting. Confirm the set- ting by pressing the Set Button F.
Changing Devices
In the factory default settings, the AVR remote is programmed so that the commands transmitted correspond to the device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors 4. This is logical, as you want the remote to control the device you have selected. However, in some circum- stances you may have configured your system so that the devices connected to the AVR do not correspond to the default device settings and the legends printed on the remote. For example, if your system has two VCRs you may connect the second VCR to the VID 2 input. There is no
