PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently

used combinations of commands with the press

of a single button on the AVR 120 remote con-

trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out

up to 19 different remote codes in a predeter-

mined sequential order, enabling you to auto-

mate the process of turning on your system,

changing devices, or other common tasks. The

AVR 120 remote can store up to five separate

macro command sequences: one that is

associated with the

Power On Button

d

,

and four more that are accessed by pressing the

Macro Buttons

v

.

1. Press the

Mute Button

and the

Macro Button

v

to be programmed or

the

Power On Button

d

at the same

time. Note that the last

Input Selector

e

pressed will light red, and the

Program Indicator

c

will flash amber.

2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by

pressing the button for the actual command

step. Although the macro may contain up to

19 steps, each button press, including those

used to change devices, counts as a step.

The

Program Indicator

c

will flash

green to confirm each button press as you

enter commands.

NOTE:

While entering commands for Power

On/Off of any device during a macro sequence,

press the

Mute Button

. DO NOT press the

actual Power Button.

3. When all the steps have been entered,

press the

Sleep Button

i

to enter the

commands. The red light under the

Input

Selectors

ef

will blink and then

turn off.

Example:

To program the

Macro 1 Button

v

so that it turns on the AVR 120, TV and

a Cable Box, follow these steps:

•

Press the

Macro 1

v

and

Mute

buttons at the same time and then release

them.

•

Note that the

Program Indicator

c

will flash amber.

•

Press the

AVR Selector

f

.

•

Press the

Mute Button

to store the

AVR 120

’

s Power On command.

•

Press the

VID2 Input Selector Button

e

to indicate the next command is to be

transmitted to the TV.

•

Press the

Mute Button

to store the

TV Power On Command.

•

Press the

VID3 Input Selector Button

e

to indicate the next command is to be

transmitted to the cable box.

•

Press the

Mute Button

to store the

Cable Power On command.

•

Press the

Sleep Button

i

to complete

the process and store the macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you

press the

Macro 1 Button

v

, the

remote will send the Power On/Off com-

mand to the AVR 120, the television and

the cable box with a single button press.

Erasing Macro Commands

To erase the commands that have been pro-

grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow

these steps:

1. Press the

Mute Button

and the

Macro Button

v

that contains the

commands you wish to erase.

2. Note that the

Program Indicator

c

will

flash amber, and the LED under the

AVR

Selector

f

will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the

Surround

Mode Selector/Channel Down

Button

j

.

4. The red LED under the

AVR Selector

f

will go out, and the

Program Indicator

c

will turn green and flash three times

before it goes out.

5. When the

Program Indicator

c

goes

out, the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 120

’

s remote has been pro-

grammed for the codes of other devices, press

the appropriate

Input Selector

e

to change

the remote from controlling the AVR 120 to con-

trolling the additional product. When you press

any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in red

to indicate that you have changed the device

being controlled.

When operating a device other than the

AVR 120, the controls may not correspond

exactly to the function printed on the remote

or button. Some commands, such as the Volume

Control, are the same as they are with the

AVR 120. 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 func-

tion as the Channel Up and Channel Down
