3. The SELECT A DEVICE message will appear
in the LCD display (Figure 17). Press the
Navigation Buttons n to scroll through the list
of device categories and press the Set Button
p 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 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.

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 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 dis-
play shown in Figure 29. If you see that menu, pro-
ceed to Step 8. If the code is not successfully learned,
you will see the display shown in Figure 30. If that
menu appears, proceed to Steps 7 and 8.

7. If the message shown in Figure 30 appears in
the display, press the Set Button p to try pro-
gramming 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 facing one another.
8. Continue to hold the button on the original remote
until the LCD display changes again. If the code
was successfully learned, you will see the display
shown in Figure 29. In that case, go to Step 9. If

use code sequences or infrared frequencies that
are not compatible with the AVR remote, and those
codes cannot be learned. When the display shown

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 p to
learn additional codes from the buttons on a
source remote into the AVR remote. Follow Steps
4 through 6 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 Button n so that the display
⁄
shown in Figure 32 appears in the LCD display.
At this point you will be taken to a RENAME
KEY display. Enter the new name for the key
following the instructions shown in the Renaming
Individual Keys section of this manual on pages 45
and 46. If you find it more convenient to rename
the buttons at a later time, you may do that sepa-
rately by following the instructions on page 45.

show in Figure 33. The remote will return to
normal operation.

select a different device in Step 3.

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 3. This is logical, as you
want the remote to control the device you have selected.
However, in some circumstances you may have config-
ured your system so that the devices connected to the
AVR 7200 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 con-
nect the second VCR to the VID 2 input. There is no
problem in doing that, but in normal operation the
commands issued after selecting the VID 2 input are
for a television, not a VCR.
The AVR remote allows you to correct that situation
through the "Changing Devices" process. That enables
you to assign the codes from one type of device to
a different button. For example, in the steps below,
we will explain how to program the VID 2 buttons to
provide the commands to operate a VCR. Of course,
you may program the remote to have any of the
devices take on the code set of any other device, as
your system requires. And, with the AVR remote's
"Rename" function, you can even change the way
the name of the device appears on the remote's LCD
display so that you see exactly which commands are
being sent.
To program the buttons normally assigned to one
device for the commands of another, follow these
steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button O for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 16 appears in the remote's LCD
Information Display 2. Release the button
when the red light under the Set Button F
appears.
2. The remote's MAIN MENU message (Figure 16),
will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button
F will remain illuminated in red. Press the
Navigation Button D twice so that CHANGE
DEVICE appears on the bottom line of the LCD
screen, as shown in Figure 34. Press the Set
Button F to begin the process of reassigning
Navigation
⁄
the commands used for a particular device.

3. The next menu display is where you select the
Input Select, or device, that you wish to change.
When the display shown in Figure 35 appears,
press the
through the list to find the device you wish to use
for another function. In this case we will select
"TV," and show how to change it to take on the
codes for operating a VCR. When that device's
name appears, press the Set Button F.
