50 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 26.
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 17). Press the 

⁄¤

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 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.

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 28).

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

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 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 29.
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 

⁄

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 can-
not be learned. When the display shown in
Figure 31 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 29 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 

⁄

E so

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 55. 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 55.

11. When you have programmed all keys for the

desired device, press the 

⁄

E twice when the 

LEARN MENU

(Figure 29) appears so that you see the dis-
play show in Figure 33. 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.

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 

¤

E until

DEVICE PRIORITY

appears. Press the Set

F.

3. Press the 

⁄

/

¤

E to

select the requested setting. Confirm the set-
ting by pressing the Set Button

F.

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
problem in doing that, but in normal operation
the commands issued after selecting the VID 2
input are for a television, not a VCR.

The AVR remote allows you to correct that situa-
tion through the “Changing Devices” process.
That enables you to assign the codes from one
type of device to a different button. For example,
in the steps below, we will explain how to pro-
gram the VID 2 buttons to provide the com-
mands to operate a VCR. Of course, you may
program the remote to have any of the devices
take on the code set of any other device, as your
system requires. And, with the AVR remote’s
“Rename” function, you can even change the
way the name of the device appears on the
remote’s LCD display so that you see exactly
which commands are being sent.

To program the buttons normally assigned to
one device for the commands of another, follow
these steps:

1. Press and hold the Program Button

& for

about three seconds while the message
shown in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s
LCD Information Display

2. Release the

button when the red light under the Set
Button

F appears.

2. The remote’s 

MAIN MENU

message (Figure

16), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button

F will remain illuminated in

red. Press the 

⁄

E

twice so that 

CHANGE DEVICE

appears on

the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown
in Figure 34. Press the Set Button

F to

begin the process of reassigning the com-
mands used for a particular device.
