Indicator

c will flash green to confirm each

button press as you enter commands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power On/Off of
any device during a macro sequence, press the Mute
Button

. DO NOT press the actual Power button.

3. When all the steps have been entered, press the

Sleep Button

j to enter the commands. The

red light under the Input Selectors

ef will

blink and then turn off.

Example: To program the Macro 1 button so that it
turns on the AVR 230, TV and a cable box, follow
these steps:

• Press the Macro 1 Button

and Mute

Button

at the same time and then release

them.

• Note that the Program/SPL Indicator

c will

flash amber.

• Press the AVR Selector

f.

• Press the Mute Button

to store the

AVR 230’s Power On command.

• Press the VID 2 Input Selector Button

e to

indicate the next command is for “TV Power On.”

• Press the Mute Button

to store the TV

Power On Command.

• Press the VID 3 Input Selector Button

e to

indicate the next command is for “Cable Power On.”

• Press the Mute Button

to store the Cable

Power On command.

• Press the Sleep/Channel Up Button

j to

complete the process and store the macro
sequence.

After following these steps, each time you press
the Macro 1 Button

, the remote will send

the Power On/Off command.

Erasing Macro Commands

To remove the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow these
steps:

1. Press the Mute Button

and the Macro

Button

that contains the commands you

wish to erase.

2. The Program/SPL Indicator

c will flash

amber, and the LED under the AVR Selector

f

will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround Mode

Selector/Channel Down Button

k.

4. The red LED under the AVR Selector

f will

go out, and the Program/SPL Indicator

c

will turn green and flash three times before it
goes out.

5. When the Program/SPL Indicator

c goes

out, the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 230’s remote has been programmed for
the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input
Selector

e to change the remote from controlling

the AVR 230 to controlling the additional product. When
you press any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in
red to indicate that you have changed the device being
controlled.

When operating a device other than the AVR 230, 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 230. Other buttons will change their
function 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
and Channel Down buttons when operating most TV
sets, VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down
indication is printed directly on the remote. For many
standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD
functions, the standard function icons are printed on
top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a particu-
lar button does not follow the command printed on
the remote. In order to see which function a button
controls, consult the Function List tables on pages 36
and 37. To use those tables, first check the type of
device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at
the remote control diagram in Figure 11. 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, button number 46
is the Direct button for the AVR 230, but it is the
“Favorite” button for many cable television boxes
and satellite receivers. Button number 32 is the Delay
button for the AVR 230, but the Open/Close button for
CD players.

NOTE: The numbers used to describe the button
functions in Figure 11 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 230.

Notes on Using the AVR 230 Remote With Other
Devices.

• Manufacturers may use different code sets for the

same product category. For that reason, it is impor-
tant that you check to see whether the code set you
have entered operates as many controls as possible.
If it appears that only a few functions operate, check
to see whether another code set will work with more
buttons.
