Erasing Macro Commands
To remove the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow these
steps:
43
1. Press the Mute Button and the Macro
31
Button that contains the commands you
wish to erase.
2. The Program/SPL Indicator
amber, and the LED under the AVR Selector
will turn red.
3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround Mode
Selector/Channel Down Button
4. The red LED under the AVR Selector
go out, and the Program/SPL Indicator
will turn green and flash three times before it
goes out.
5. When the Program/SPL Indicator
out, the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 525's remote has been programmed for
the codes of other devices, press the appropriate Input
Selector to change the remote from controlling
the AVR 525 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.
will flash
When operating a device other than the AVR 525, 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 525. Other buttons will change their
function so that they correspond to a secondary label
will
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
goes
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 42
and 43. 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 12. 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 45
is the Direct button for the AVR 525, but it is the
"Favorite" button for many cable television boxes
and satellite receivers. Button number 31 is the Delay
button for the AVR 525, but the Open/Close button for
CD players.
NOTE: The numbers used to describe the button
functions in Figure 12 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 525.
Notes on Using the AVR 525 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.
• When a button is pressed on the AVR 525 remote,
the red light under the Input Selector
product being operated should flash briefly. If the
Device Control Selector flashes for some but not all
buttons for a particular product, it does NOT indi-
cate a problem with the remote but rather that no
function is programmed for the button being
pushed.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 525's remote may be programmed to oper-
40
ate the Volume Control and Mute
tions of either the TV or the AVR 525 in conjunction
with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For
example, since the AVR 525 will likely be used as the
sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have
the AVR 525's volume activated, although the remote
is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 525 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 for the unit you wish
to have associated with the volume control and the
Mute Button 43 at the same time until the red
light appears under the Input Selector
Program/SPL Indicator will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up Button 40
SPL Indicator will stop flashing and stay amber.
3. Press either the AVR Selector
Selector , depending on which system's
volume control you wish to have attached for the
punch-through mode. The Program/SPL Indicator
will blink green three times and then go out to
confirm the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR 525's volume control
activated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector
43
and the Mute Button at the same time.
Next, press the Volume Up Button
by the AVR Selector .
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 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 525's remote may be programmed to operate
so that the channel control function for either the TV,
cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be
used in conjunction with one of the other devices con-
trolled by the remote. For example, while using and con-
trolling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a
cable box or satellite receiver without having to change
for the
