Remote Control Functions

The AVR5’s

remote may be programmed to con-
trol up to three additional devices,
including the AVR5. Before using the
remote, it is important to remember to
press the 

button 

∂ ≠ that corresponds to the

unit you wish to operate. The remote
is capable of operating a wide variety
of products using the control codes
that are part of the remote. Before
using the remote with other products,
follow the instructions on pages
23–26 to program the proper codes
for the products in your system.

It is also important to remember that
many of the buttons on the remote
take on different functions, depend-
ing on the product selected using
the Device Control Selectors. The
descriptions shown here primarily
detail the functions of the remote
when it is used to operate the AVR5.
(See page 24 for information about
alternate functions for the remote’s
buttons.)
