The AVR 760/AVR 660 remote control also serves as a universal remote that
may be programmed to operate other components. Refer to the Function
List (Table A14 in the appendix) for assistance in operating your other
components. The function of each button will not necessarily correspond to
the label printed on the button.
The AVR 760/AVR 660 remote is a sophisticated and versatile device that is
easy to program, thanks to its menu-based system.
To access the menu, press and hold the AVR Settings Button for at least 3
seconds, until the remote’s Main Menu appears in its LCD Text Display.
The remote’s menu is navigated using the KLM N Buttons and the OK
Button. Scroll up or down to a desired menu option, and press the OK Button
to select it.
main menu
Program Device • : Used to program the control codes for a source
device into the appropriate Source Selector. See Step 14 in the Basic
Manual for detailed instructions.
Learn
• : Used to “learn” control codes from a source device’s original
remote, or to delete previously learned codes for individual keys or entire
devices. See Step 14 in the Basic Manual for detailed instructions.
Change Device
• : Used while programming a Source Selector when
the source device doesn’t match the Source Selector’s device type. For
example, when the system uses two DVD players but no media server, you
may program the second DVD player’s control codes into the Media Server
Source Selector by changing its device type to DVD. See Step 14 in the
Basic Manual for detailed instructions.
Activity
• : Used to program a sequence of up to 20 commands into one of
10 activities so that the sequence may be executed by pressing only two
buttons (Activity Button and Alphanumeric Key for the specific activity).
See below for detailed instructions.
Punch-Through
• : Used to allow transport- or channel-control of a
different system component than the one currently being used. See below
for detailed instructions.
Rename
• : Used to rename a Source Selector or key on the remote to
correspond to its actual function. Renaming only affects information
appearing in the remote’s LCD Text Display. See Step 14 in the Basic
Manual for detailed instructions.
Back Light
• : Used to program the functioning of the remote’s back light.
See below for detailed instructions.
Remote Reset
• : Used to reset the remote to its factory defaults,
deleting all user programming. See below for detailed instructions.
Exit
• : Exits the remote’s Program Mode when you scroll to this option and
press the OK Button.
activities (macros)
Activities are used to program sequences of up to 20 commands that are
executed with a single button press. Activities are well suited for power-on
and -off commands, to send out a multidigit channel number with one
button press, or to control another device with more flexibility than the built-
in punch-through controls. Up to 11 activities may be programmed.
NOTE: Use caution when programming complicated activities. It isn’t
possible to program a pause or delay before sending commands after
Power On, and the component may not be ready to respond to commands
immediately after powering on.
To program, or “record” an activity:
Press and hold the AVR Settings Button for 3 seconds. The remote will 1.
enter Program mode, and its Main Menu will be displayed.
Use the 2. KL Buttons to scroll to the Activity option, and press the OK
Button.
Use the 3. KL Buttons to select the Record Activity option, and press the
OK Button.
Use the 4. KL Buttons to select the command button, and press the OK
Button. The command button is the key the user will press to execute the
activity. Select the AVR Power On Button, the AVR Power Off Button or one
of the Alphanumeric Keys.
NOTE: When one of the Alphanumeric Keys is used as the command
button, first press the Activity Button, then the Alphanumeric Key, to
execute the activity. When the Alphanumeric Key is pressed by itself, the
activity will not be executed. However, when the AVR Power On Button or
the AVR Power Off Button is selected as the command button, the activity
will be executed every time the programmed AVR Power Button is pressed.
Use the 5. KL Buttons to select the last source, and press the OK Button.
This places the AVR and the remote in the desired device mode after the
Activity is finished.
Begin pressing the keys for the desired commands. Each command will 6.
appear in the LCD Display, with the source in use shown in square brackets
on the left.
To switch to another source, press its Source Selector. This will count as •
one of the 20 commands allowed in each activity.
To include the AVR Power On or AVR Power Off commands, first press •
the AVR Settings Button to set the remote in AVR device mode, then
press the desired power button.
To program menu navigation, press the • N Button to make a selection,
and press the M Button to return to a previous menu level. Pressing the
OK Button will end the command sequence and save it as an activity,
while pressing the Back/Exit Button will exit Program mode without
saving the activity.
To end the command sequence, press the OK Button. 7.
Use the 8. KL Buttons to select either the End Activity option or the Edit
Title option, and press the OK Button.
End Activity • : The activity will be saved. When the activity is
executed, its command button, e.g., Activity 9, will appear in the LCD
Display.
