Programming the Remote
Although the AVR remote is preprogrammed with
an extensive library of codes for many major
brands, it is also possible that you may have
attempted to program a product that is too new
or too old, and thus not all of its commands will
be in the code library. You may fill in the codes
for any button that does not operate properly by
using the learning technique shown on page 54.
Automatic Code Entry
In addition to manual code selection using the
brand name list, it is also possible to
automatically search through all the codes that
are stored in the AVR remote's library to see
whether a device will respond even if it is not
listed among the brands that appear when you
program the remote manually. To automatically
search through the codes that are available for a
specific device type (e.g., DVD, VCR), follow these
steps:
1. Turn on the power to the device you wish to
program into the AVR remote. This is
important, as in a later step you will need to
see whether the device turns off to determine
whether the remote has been programmed for
the proper remote codes.
2. Press and hold the Program Button
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote's LCD
Information Display
. Release the
button when the red light under the Set
Button
appears.
3. The remote's MAIN MENU message (Figure
26) will appear in the LCD display and the Set
Button
will remain illuminated in red.
Press the Set Button
to begin the
process of selecting a device and locating the
proper remote codes.
4. SELECT A DEVICE will appear in the
LCD display (Figure 27).
Press the
Navigation Buttons
⁄¤
scroll through the list of device categories and
press the Set Button
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. At the next menu screen on the remote (Figure
28), press the
Navigation Buttons
⁄
so that the bottom line of the LCD display
reads AUTO (Figure 32) and then press the
Set Button
to enter the Automatic
programming mode.

6. As instructed on the next menu screen, press
the
Navigation Buttons
⁄
the automatic code search process. Your
confirmation that the remote is sending out
commands is the movement of a square block
across the top line of the LCD display screen
while the bottom line reads PLEASE WAIT....
You will also see the transmit icon in the upper
right corner of the LCD display's top line to
remind you that the remote is working even
though you may not see anything happening
to the device being programmed.
7. It will take a few seconds for the remote to
send out the first group of commands, after
which you will see a new display in the LCD
screen, as shown in Figure 33. Following the
instructions, if the device being programmed
has NOT turned off, press the
Buttons
again to send another group of
codes. If the device being programmed has
turned off, skip to Step 9.

Navigation Buttons

for
again, the remote will send out a new set of
commands. When it pauses, follow the
instructions shown in Step 7. Depending on
how many codes are stored for a specific
device type, you may have to repeat this
process as many as fifteen times. Remember, if
the device turns off, skip to Step 9. When all
the codes for the device being programmed
have been tried, the instruction shown in
Figure 34 will appear. This means that the
codes for the product you are trying to
program are not in the AVR remote library and
you will have to "learn" them into the remote
following the instructions shown on page 54.
Press the Set Button
to
exit the programming process.

9. If the device being programmed does turn off
after following the instructions in Step 7, you
will need to verify the code set by pressing the
Numeric Keys
in sequence, as instructed
in Figure 33. Point the remote at the device
being programmed, and press the "1" Button
to see whether the device turns back on.
10. After pressing and releasing the "1" Button
, check to see whether the device has
turned back on. If it has, skip to Step 12. If it
does not turn on, press the "2" Button
or the next button in the numeric sequence if
you are repeating the procedure, as
instructed by the LCD screen in Figure 35.

the procedure by trying the remainder of the
Numeric Keys

whether the new device turns back on. When
it does, skip to the next step. However, if you
try all 10 numeric keys and find that the unit
will not turn on, you won't be able to use this
method to program the device. Press the

button, the top line of the LCD display will
read SAVING... and then the word SAVED

bottom line.
13. When the codes are saved, the remote will
return to normal operation, and whenever
you press the Input Selector Button
that was just programmed, the codes for the
new device will be used. If no further buttons
are pressed, the remote will revert back to
the default setting for AVR commands.
Learning Commands
On occasions when the AVR remote does not
contain the codes for a particular product's
remote in its built-in library, or when you wish to
as instructed to
program a missing or special function into one
button of a device, the AVR remote's learning
capability allows you to do that. To teach
commands from one product's remote into the
AVR remote, follow these steps:
The 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
on the AVR's 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.
