42 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Programming the Remote
Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR’s remote has been programmed for
the codes of other devices, press the appropriate
Input Selector
4 to change the remote from
control over the AVR 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, 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. Other buttons
will change their function so that they corre-
spond 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 Sat-Receivers.
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 44. To use those
tables, first check the type of device being
controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the
remote control diagram on page 44. 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 46 is the”Direct” button for the
AVR, but it is the “Favorite” button for many
cable television boxes and satellite receivers.
Button number 32 is the Delay button for the
AVR, but the Open/Close button for CD players.
Note that the numbers used to describe the
button functions above and on page 44 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
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 remote,
the red light under the Input Selector
45
for the product being operated should flash
briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for
some but not all buttons for a particular prod-
uct, it does NOT indicate a problem with the
remote, but rather that no function is pro-
grammed for the button being pushed.
Volume Punch-Through
The AVR’s remote may be programmed to oper-
ate the Volume Control
d and the Mute
g from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction
with any of the devices controlled by the remote.
For example, since the AVR will likely be used as
the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish
to have the AVR’s volume activated although the
remote is set to run the TV.
Either the AVR or TV volume control may be
associated with any of the remote´s devices.
To program the remote for Volume Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector 4 for the unit you
wish to have associated with the volume control
and the Mute button
g at the same time until
the red light illuminates under the Input Selector
4 and note that the Program/SPL Indicator
2 will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up button d and note
that.the Program/SPL Indicator 2 will stop
flashing and stay amber.
3. Press either the AVR Selector 5 or the
Input Selector 4, depending on which
system’s volume control you wish to have
attached for the punch-through mode. The
Program/SPL Indicator
2 will blink green
three times and then go out to confirm the data
entry.
Example: To have the AVR’s volume control
activated even though the remote is set to con-
trol the TV, first press the Video/TV Input
Selector
4 and the Mute button g at the
same time. Next, press the Volume Up button
d, followed by the AVR Input Selector 5.
NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to
the original configuration after entering a
Volume Punch-Through, you will need to repeat
the steps shown above. However, press the same
Input Selector in steps one and three.
Channel Control Punch-Through
The AVR’s remote may be programmed to oper-
ate so that the channel control function, per-
formed with the Sleep
9 and Surround A
buttons, for either the TV, cable or satellite
receiver used in your system may be used in con-
junction with one of the other devices controlled
by the remote. For example, while using and
controlling the VCR, you may wish to change
channels on a cable box or satellite receiver
without having to change the device selected by
the AVR or the remote. To program the remote
for Channel Control Punch-Through, follow
these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector button 4 for the
device you wish to have the channel control
associated with and the Mute button
g at the
same time until the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector
4 and the Program/SPL
Indicator 2 flashes amber.
2. Press the Volume Down button d.The
Program/SPL Indicator 2 will stop flashing
and stay amber.
3. Press and release the AVR 5 or Input
Selector button 4 for the device that will be
used to change the channels. The Program/SPL
Indicator
2 will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the channels using your TV
while the remote is set to control the VCR, first
press the VID 1/VCR Input Selector button
4 and the Mute button g at the same time.
Next, release them and press the Volume Down
button
d, followed by the same Input
Selector button 4.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example
above. However, press the same Input Selector
in Steps 1 and 3.
