Learning Commands; Learning Codes For An Input Selector; Device Priority - Harman Kardon AVR 645 Owner's Manual

Programming the Remote
2. 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 Navigation Buttons
⁄
once so that Learn appears on the bottom line
of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 36.
Press the Set Button to begin the
process of learning commands from another
device's remote into the AVR remote.

3. The SELECT A DEVICE message will appear
in the LCD display (Figure 27). Press the
Navigation Buttons to 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.
4. 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.

5. 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 five seconds, as instructed
on the next menu screen (Figure 38).

6. 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 menu, proceed to
Step 9. If the code is not successfully learned,
you will see the display shown in Figure 40.
If that menu appears, proceed to Step 7.

7. If the message shown in Figure 36 appears in
the display, press the Set Button
programming 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.
8. Continue to hold the button on the original
remote until the AVR's display changes again.
If the code was successfully learned, you will
see the display shown in Figure 35. In that
case, skip to the next step. If the LEARN
⁄¤
FAILED display (Figure 40) appears again
you may either try to program the key again,
or press the Navigation Buttons
⁄
stop the process. It is possible that some
remotes may use code sequences or infrared
frequencies 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
exit the Learning system.

9. When a code has been learned successfully,
you have three options. When the display
shown in Figure 39 is on the LCD screen on
the AVR remote, you may press the Set
Button to learn additional codes from
the buttons on a remote into the AVR
remote. Follow Steps 4 through 8 as often as
needed to complete the code-learning
process.
10. 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 Buttons
⁄
display shown in Figure 42 appears in the LCD
display. Press the Set Button
the RENAME KEY menu. Enter the new
name for the key following the instructions
shown in the Renaming Individual Keys
section of this manual on page 60. 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 59.

Learning Codes for an Input
Selector
The AVR 645's remote allows you to learn a
specific code to be attached to one of the Input
Selectors
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 pro-
grammed to belong to that device, it also allows
to
you to have that special code transmitted, as
well. This allows you to have an input (or other
command) sent to a display so that when video
sources are directly connected to the display, you
can automatically command it to switch to the
same input selected for the AVR.

After having programmed or learnt the different
sources, you can set the Device Priority. The
default setting is that after pressing one of the
Input Selectors and any of its function keys, the
remote control defaults back to controlling the
AVR functions after 6 seconds. You can either
extend this time to 12 seconds, or leave the
remote control to control the last used source, by
following the steps below.
1. Press and hold the Program Button
