Programming the Remote
Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR's remote has been programmed for
the codes of other devices, press the appropriate
Input Selector
to change the 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
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.
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 50. 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 50. Note that each but-
ton has a number on it.
To find out what function a particular button has
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 46 is the"Direct" button for the
AVR 8500, but it is the "Favorite" button for
many cable television boxes and satellite
receivers. Button number 32 is the Delay button
for the AVR 8500, but the Open/Close button for
CD players.
Note that the numbers used to describe the but-
ton functions above and on page 50 for the pur-
poses 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 func-
tions for the AVR 8500.
Notes on Using the AVR 8500
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
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
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
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.
When your device doesn't react as listed in the
function list (page 50/51), let the AVR 8500
remote learn the appropriate codes from the
original remote (learning codes see page 45).
Volume Punch-Through
The AVR 8500's remote may be programmed to
operate the Volume Control
from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction
with any of the 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.
Either the AVR or TV volume control may be
associated with any of the remote´s devices.
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
for
and note that the Program/SPL Indicator
will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up button
that.the Program/SPL Indicator
flashing and stay amber.
3. Press either the AVR Selector
Input Selector
, depending on which sys-
tem's volume control you wish to have attached
for the punch-through mode. The Program/SPL
Indicator
will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR's volume control acti-
vated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector
and the Mute button
Next, press the Volume Up button
by the AVR Input Selector
NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to
the original configuration after entering a Volume
Punch-Through, you will need to repeat the steps
shown above. However, press the same Input
Selector in steps one and three.
