the red light is on, and it must begin within 20
seconds after the light illuminates.

2. Press the Test Tone button 

4.The red light

under the Input or Video Selector

2# will

blink in a sequence that corresponds to the three-
digit code, with a one-second pause between each
digit. Count the number of blinks between each
pause to determine the digit of the code. One blink
is the number 1, two blinks is the number 2, and
so forth. Ten blinks are used to indicate a “0.”

Example: One blink, followed by a one-second
pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a one-
second pause, followed by ten blinks indicates
that the code has been set to 160.

Once the AVR 7000’s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices, press the
appropriate Input or Video Selector

2# to

change the remote from control over the AVR
7000 to the additional product. When you press
any of these buttons, it will briefly flash in red to
indicate that you have changed the device being
controlled.

When operating a device other than the 
AVR 7000 RDS, the controls may not correspond
exactly to the function printed on the remote 
or button. Some commands, such as the volume
control, are the same as they are with the 
AVR 7000. Other buttons will change their func-
tion so that they correspond to a secondary label
on the remote. For example, the Sleep and
Surround Mode selector buttons 

"  also

function as the Channel Up/Down button when
operating most TV sets, VCRs or cable boxes. The
Channel Up/Down indication is printed directly on
the remote. The same is true for standard CD
player, cassette deck, VCR and DVD functions,
which follow the standard function icons printed
on top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a
particular button does not follow the command
printed on the remote. In order to see which
function a button controls, consult the Function
List tables printed on page 42/43. To use those
tables, first check the type of device being con-
trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote

control diagram pictured on page 42. Note that
each button has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button has
for a specific device, find the button number on
the Function List and then look in the column for
the device you are controlling. For example, but-
ton number 22 is the Speaker button for the AVR
7000, but it is the “Menu” button for many TVs,
VCRs and Satellite receivers. Button number 35 is
the Preset Tune Down button for the AVR 7000,
the “Reverse Skip” button for CD players and the
“Page Down” button for some cable boxes.

Note that the numbers used to describe the but-
ton functions on page 42/43 for the purposes of
describing how a button operates are a different
set of numbers than those used in the rest of this
manual to describe the button functions for the
AVR.

Notes on Using the AVR 7000 Remote With
Other Devices.
• Manufacturers may use different code sets for
the same product category. For that reason, it is
important that you check to see if the code set
you have entered operates as many controls as
possible. If it appears that only a few functions
operate, check to see if another code set will
work with more buttons.

• Depending on the brand and product type used
the functions listed in the Function List tables
may not correspond with the function the unit
reacts on the command. In these cases it’s a
good idea to edit the reaction of the unit into the
corresponding line of the table or to set up a
separate list.

• When a button is pressed on the AVR 7000
remote, the red light under the Input or Video
Selector

2# 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 prob-
lem with the remote, but rather that no function
is programmed for the button being pushed.

In addition to using codes from the remote’s
internal code library, the AVR 7000’s remote is
able to “learn” codes from remotes that may not
be in the code library. In addition, you may use
this function to “learn over” the codes from a
preprogrammed device to add functions not
included in the preprogrammed codes. To learn
or transfer codes from an IR remote to the AVR
7000’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

$ on the AVR 7000

remote “head-to-head.” The remotes should be
between 2 and 8 cm apart.

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
CD/Tape/DVD Input Selectors

2 or the

#.

3. Press the Device Selector button chosen
2# and the Set Button 8 at the same
time. Hold these buttons until the Program
Indicator light

0 turns orange and the red

light under the device selector button turns red.
Release the buttons.

4. Within 20 seconds press the button on the
AVR 7000 remote that you wish to program.
Note that the Program Indicator light

0

will begin to flash for six seconds and the red
light under the device selector will go out. Note
that any button on the remote EXCEPT the AVR
button 

1, the CD/Tape/DVD Input

2 or the Video Remote

# and the Light button J may

be “taught” a remote code from another remote.
The Power On function (if different from the
Power Off function, taught to the Power

3

button), that normally is associated with the
Input Selectors

2 #, can be taught to any

button, that is not charged with any function for
the device selected, e.g. Test 

4.

5. As long as the Program Indicator light

0

is flashing, press and hold the button on the
original remote that you wish to “teach” into the
AVR 7000 remote. When the Program
Indicator light

0 turns green, release the

button. Note that the Program Indicator will then
begin to flash orange again.

6. Within five seconds, press the same button on
the source remote again to verify that the remote
code has been learned correctly. The Program
Indicator light 0 will flash green twice and
then turn to a steady orange color indicating that
the programming was successful.

NOTE: If the Program Indicator light

0

turns red during step 5 or 6, the programming
was not successful. Repeat the step 3 through 6,
but in step 5 hold the button on the original
remote pressed for some seconds after the
Program Indicator light

0 turned green. If

the indicator keeps flashing red in steps 5 or 6,
this code cannot be taught.

7. Repeat steps 4 though 6 for each button on
the source remote that you wish to transfer to
the AVR 7000 remote.

8. Once all codes have been transferred from the
original source remote to the AVR 7000 remote,
press and hold the Device Selector button
2# for the device being programmed and
the Set Button 

8 at the same time until the

0 flashes orange

twice. Release the buttons.
