2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by
pressing the button for the actual command step.
Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps,
each button press, including those used to
change devices, counts as a step. The
Program/SPL Indicator
will flash green to
confirm each button press as you enter com-
mands.
NOTE: While entering commands for Power On of
any device during a macro sequence, press the
Mute button
. DO NOT press the actual
Power ON button.
• Remember to press the appropriate Input
Selector button
before functions are
changed to another device. This is also needed
for the AVR Selector button
as it's not lit red and AVR functions shall be pro-
grammed.
3. When all the steps have been entered, press
the Sleep button
to enter the commands.
The red light under the Input Selector
will blink and then turn off.
Example: To program the Macro 1
so that it turns on the AVR and your TV, follow
these steps:
• Press the Macro 1 button
and Mute
buttons at the same time and then release them.
• Note that the Program/SPL Indicator will
flash amber.
• Press the AVR Selector
.
• Press the Mute
button to store the AVR's
power on command.
• Press the VID 2 Input Selector button
indicate the next command is for "TV Power On."
• Press the Mute
button to store the TV
Power On Command.
• Press the Sleep/Channel Up button
complete the process and store the macro
sequence.
After following these steps, each time you press
the Macro 1 button
, the remote will send
all Power On commands.
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. Note that the Program/SPL Indicator
will flash amber, and the LED under the AVR
Selector
will turn red.
3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround
Mode Selector/Channel Down button

will flash
4. The red LED under the AVR Selector will go
out, and the Program/SPL Indicator
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 3550's remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices, press the
appropriate Input Selector
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 func-
tion printed on the remote or button. Some com-
mands, such as the volume control, are the same
itself, as long
as they are with the AVR. 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
Sat-Receivers.
button
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 38. To use those
tables, first check the type of device being con-
trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote
control diagram on page 38. Note that each but-
ton has a number on it.
To find out what function a particular button has
to
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 52 is the Macro 2 button for the
to
AVR 3550, but it is the "Favorite" button for
many cable television boxes and satellite
receivers. Button number 30 is the Delay button
for the AVR 3550, but the Open/Close button for
CD players.
Note that the numbers used to describe the but-
ton functions at the left 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 3550
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
will
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
goes
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
the product being operated should flash briefly. If
to change the
the Device Control Selector flashes for some but
not all buttons for a particular product, it does
NOT indicate a problem with the remote, but
rather that no function is programmed for the
button being pushed.
• The remote was pre-programmed with codes
for units of the latest generation, but some codes
may differ from those needed for earlier units.
Volume Punch-Through
The AVR's remote may be programmed to operate
the Volume Control
from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction with
any of the six 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.
To program the remote for Volume Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector
wish to have associated with the volume control
and the Mute button
the red light illuminates under the Input Selector
and note that the Program/SPL Indicator
will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up button

Example: To have the AVR's volume control acti-

the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector
and the Mute button
Next, press the Volume Up button
by the AVR Input Selector
