of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 26.
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 17). 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 exam-
ple, we will select "TV" to enter the codes
needed to operate your TV.
4. The next menu screen (Figure 27) 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.

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 28).

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 29. If you see that menu, proceed to
Step 9. If the code is not successfully learned,
you will see the display shown in Figure 30. If
that menu appears, proceed to Step 7.

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 28, immediately press
the button on the source remote again. To
avoid another failed attempt, make certain
that the windows on the two remotes are fac-
ing 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 25.
In that case, skip to the next step. If the
LEARN FAILED display (Figure 30) appears
again you may either try to program the key
again, or press the
to 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 can-
not be learned. When the display shown in
Figure 31 appears, press the Set Button
to exit the Learning system.

9. When a code has been learned successfully,
you have three options. When the display
shown in Figure 29 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
that the display shown in Figure 32 appears
in the LCD display. Press the Set Button
to open the RENAME KEY menu. Enter the
new name for the key following the instruc-
tions shown in the Renaming Individual Keys
section of this manual on page 48. 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 52.

device, repeat the procedure outline above,

Learning Codes for an Input

Selector

The AVR 635's remote allows you to learn a spe-
cific 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
you to have that special code transmitted, as
well. This allows you to have an input (or other
Navigation Buttons
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.
To learn a remote code into one of the Input
Selectors
above for learning the keys for an entire device
remote with the following exceptions:
• In Step 3, press the
Button
appears in the bottom line of the LCD display.
• When the
(Figure 26) appears, as described in Step 4,
press the specific Input Selector Button
code when it is pressed.
• When the
offered by the remote after the code is pro-
grammed, you will be changing the name that
is shown in the remote's LCD display every
time that Input Selector is pressed.

Device Priority

so
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
until the MAIN MENU appears.
2. Press the
DEVICE PRIORITY appears. Press the Set
Button

3. Press the
select the requested setting. Confirm the set-
ting by pressing the Set Button

Changing Devices

In the factory default settings, the AVR remote is
programmed so that the commands transmitted
correspond to the device selected by pressing
one of the Input Selectors
as you want the remote to control the device
you have selected. However, in some circum-
stances you may have configured your system so
that the devices connected to the AVR do not
correspond to the default device settings and
the legends printed on the remote. For example,
if your system has two VCRs you may connect
the second VCR to the VID 2 input. There is no
