The learning process requires that both the device’s
original remote and the AVR remote be available.
Before pressing any buttons on either remote, place
them so that the IR transmitter on the remote from the
device to be programmed is facing the Infrared Lens
k on the AVR remote. The two remotes should be
no more than an inch apart, and there should not be
any direct sunlight or other bright light source near the
remotes.
Learning Keys for an Entire Device Remote
1. Press and hold the Program Button y for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 24 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display c. Release the button
when the red light under the Set Button q
appears.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Fig. 25),
will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button
q will remain illuminated in red. Press the
⁄
Navigation Button o once so that LEARN
appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as
shown in Figure 35. Press the Set Button q
to begin the process of learning commands from
another device’s remote into the AVR remote.
Figure 35
3. To program the codes for a device’s remote into
the AVR remote, press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation
Buttons o until the words LEARN KEY
appear in the bottom line of the LCD display, as
shown in Figure 36. Press the Set Button q
to continue. If you wish to program one of the
Input Selector buttons for a special code, follow
the instructions shown below for “Device Selector
Programming”.
Figure 36
4. The SELECT A DEVICE message will appear
in the LCD display (Figure 26). Press the ⁄ / ¤
Navigation Buttons o to scroll through the list
of device categories and press the Set Button
q when the device for which you wish to set the
codes appears. For this example, we will select “TV”
to enter the codes needed to operate your TV.
5. The next menu screen (Figure 37) 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.
Figure 37
6. 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 5 seconds, as instructed on the next menu
screen (Figure 38).

7. 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 39. If you see that
message, proceed to Step 10. If the code is not
successfully learned, you will see the display shown
in Figure 40. If that menu appears, proceed to
Steps 8 and 9.

8. If the message shown in Figure 40 appears in
the display, press the Set Button q to try pro-
gramming 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 38, immediately press the button
on the source remote again. To avoid another
failed attempt, make certain that the windows on
the two remotes are facing one another.
9. Continue to hold the button on the original remote
until the LCD display changes again. If the code
was successfully learned, you will see the display
shown in Figure 39. In that case, go to Step 10.
If the LEARN FAILED display (Figure 40)
appears again, you may either try to program the
key again, or press the
⁄ Navigation Button
o to stop the process. It is possible that some
remotes may use code sequences or infrared fre-
quencies that are not compatible with the AVR
remote, and those codes cannot be learned.
When the display shown in Figure 41 appears,
press the Set Button q to exit the Learning
system.
Figure 41
10. When a code has been learned successfully, you
have a number of options. When the display
shown in Figure 39 is on the LCD screen on the
AVR remote, you may press the Set Button q
to learn additional codes from the buttons on a
source remote into the AVR remote. Follow Steps
5 through 9 as often as needed to complete the
code-learning process.
11. 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
⁄ Navigation Button o so that the display
shown in Figure 42 appears in the LCD display.
Press the Set Button q to be taken to a
RENAME KEY display. Enter the new name for
the key following the instructions shown in the
Renaming Individual Keys section of this manual
on pages 50–51. 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 50.
Figure 42
12. When you have programmed all keys for the
desired device, press the ⁄ Navigation Button
o when LEARN MENU (Figure 39) appears
so that you see the display shown in Figure 43.
Press the Set Button q to return the remote to
normal operation.
Figure 43
13. If you wish to program the codes for another
device, repeat the procedure outline above, but
select a different device in Step 4.
Learning Codes for an Input Selector
The AVR 435’s remote allows you to learn a specific
code to be attached to one of the Input Selectors
d so that whenever that button is pressed, you will
not only be selecting that device as the AVR’s input
and telling the remote to use the remote codes that
have been programmed to belong to that device, it also
allows you to have that special code transmitted, as
well. This allows you to have an input (or other com-
mand) sent to a display so that when video sources
are directly connected to the display, you can auto-
matically command it to switch to the same input
selected for the AVR.
To learn a remote code into one of the Input
Selectors d, follow the same steps shown above
for learning the keys for an entire device remote with
the following exceptions:
• In Step 3, press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons
o until LEARN DEVICE appears in the
bottom line of the LCD display.
