Erasing Macro Commands

To remove 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

that contains the commands you

wish to erase.

2. The

Program/SPL 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

k

.

4. The red LED under the

AVR Selector

f

will

go out, and the


c

will turn green and flash three times before it

goes out.

5. When the


c

goes

out, the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 325’s remote has been programmed for

the codes of other devices, press the appropriate

Input

Selector

e

to change the remote from controlling

the AVR 325 to controlling 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 325, 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 325. 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 cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down

indication is printed directly on the remote. For many

standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD

functions, the standard function icons are printed on

top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a particu-

lar button does not follow the command printed on

the remote. In order to see which function a button

controls, consult the Function List tables on pages 40

and 41. To use those tables, first check the type of

device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at

the remote control diagram in Figure 12. Note that

each button has a number on it.

T

o 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, button number 45

is the Direct button for the AVR 325, but it is the

“Favorite” button for many cable television boxes

and satellite receivers. Button number 31 is the Delay

button for the AVR 325, but the Open/Close button for

CD players.

NOTE:

The numbers used to describe the button

functions in Figure 12 for the purposes 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 functions for the AVR 325.

Notes on Using the AVR 325 Remote With Other

Devices.

•

Manufacturers may use different code sets for the

same product category. For that reason, it is impor-

tant that you check to see whether the code set you

have entered operates as many controls as possible.

If it appears that only a few functions operate, check

to see whether another code set will work with more

buttons.

•

When a button is pressed on the AVR 325 remote,

the red light under the

Input Selector

ef

for

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.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 325’s remote may be programmed to oper-

ate the

Volume Control

and

Mute

func-

tions of either the TV or the AVR 325 in conjunction

with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For

example, since the AVR 325 will likely be used as the

sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have

the AVR 325’s volume activated, although the remote

is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 325 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

e

for the unit you wish

to have associated with the volume control and the

Mute Button

at the same time until the red

light appears under the

Input Selector

e

; the


c

will flash amber.

2. Press the

Volume Up Button

; the

Program/

SPL Indicator

c

will stop flashing and stay amber.

3. Press either the

AVR Selector

f

or the

Input

Selector

e

, depending on which system’s

volume control you wish to have attached for the

punch-through mode. The


c

will blink green three times and then go out to

confirm the data entry.

Example:

To have the AVR 325’s volume control

activated even though the remote is set to control

the TV, first press the

Video/TV Input Selector

e

and the

Mute Button

at the same time.

Next, press the

Volume Up Button

, followed

by the

AVR Selector

f

.

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 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 325’s remote may be programmed to operate

so that the channel control function for either the TV,

cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be

used in conjunction with one of the other devices con-

trolled by the remote. For example, while using and con-

trolling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a

cable box or satellite receiver without having to change
