Learning Codes For An Input Selector - Harman Kardon AVR 445 Owner's Manual

CONFIGURING THE REMOTE
The learning 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 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.
Learning Keys for an Entire Device Remote
1. Press and hold the Program Button y for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote's LCD
Information Display c. Release the button
when the red light under the Set Button
appears.
2. The remote's MAIN MENU message (Fig. 26),
will appear in the LCD and the Set Button
will remain illuminated in red. Press the
Navigation Button so that LEARN appears
on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown
in Figure 36. Press the Set Button

5. The next menu screen (Figure 38) 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.

the AVR remote, press and hold the button on the
remote control for the device to be programmed
within 5 seconds, as instructed on the next menu
screen (Figure 39).

7. 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 40. If you see that
message, proceed to Step 10. If the code is not
successfully learned, you will see the display shown
in Figure 41. If that menu appears, proceed to
Steps 8 and 9.

If the LEARN FAILED display (Figure 41)
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 cannot be learned.

have a number of options. When the display

you find it more convenient to rename the buttons
at a later time, you may do that separately by

Learning Codes for an Input Selector

The AVR 445's remote allows you to learn a specific
code to be attached to one of the Input Selectors
d so that whenever that button is 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 programmed to belong to that device, it also allows
Navigation Button 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 con-
nected 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
to exit the Learning
Selectors d, follow the same steps shown above
for learning the keys for an entire device remote with
the following exceptions:
• In Step 3, press the
bottom line of the LCD.
• When the SELECT A DEVICE message
(Figure 27) appears, as described in Step 4, press
the specific Input Selector Button d that you
wish to have transmit a special code when it is
pressed.
