PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

Example:

To program the Macro 1 button

so that it turns on the AVR 520, TV and a

Cable Box, follow these steps:

• Press the

Macro 1 Button

and

Mute Button

at the same time and

then release them.

• Note that the

Program/SPL Indicator

c

will flash amber.

• Press the

AVR Selector

f

.

• Press the

Mute Button

to store the

AVR 520’s power on command.

• Press the

VID 2 Input Selector Button

e

to indicate the next command is for

“TV Power On.”

• Press the

Mute Button

to store the

TV Power On Command.

• Press the

VID 3 Input Selector Button

e

to indicate the next command is for

“Cable Power On.”

• Press the

Mute Button

to store the

Cable Power On command.

• Press the

Sleep/Channel Up Button

j

to complete the process and store the

macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you

press the

Macro 1 Button

, the

remote will send the Power On/Off com-

mand.

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. Note that the


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

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 520’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 AV R

520 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 520, 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 520. 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

buttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs or

cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down indication is

printed directly on the remote. For many stan-

dard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD

functions, the standard function icons are print-

ed on top of the buttons.

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 43. To use those

tables, first check the type of device being con-

trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote

control diagram pictured at the left. Note that

each button has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button

has for a specific device, find the button num-

ber 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 520, but it is the “Favorite” button

for many cable television boxes and satellite

receivers. Button number 31 is the Delay but-

ton for the AVR 520, but the Open/Close but-

ton for CD players.

NOTE:

That the numbers used to describe the

button functions at the left for the purposes of

describing how a button operates are a differ-

ent set of numbers than those used in the rest

of this manual to describe the button functions

for the AVR 520.
