“TV,” and show how to change it to take on the

codes for operating a VCR. When that

device’s

name appears, press the

Figure 37

4. Once the “old” device type has been selected,

you need to tell the remote which set of remote

codes

to use as a replacement for the device just

selected.

When the instructions shown in Figure

38 appear, press the

⁄

/

¤

Navigation Button

o

to scroll through the list of device categories

to find the name of the device that you wish to

use. The old device name will remain on the left

side of the LCD screen, while the replacement

device list will scroll to its right. For example, press

the

⁄

Navigation Button

o

until the display

screen reads

TV

<

-VCR

to have the VID 2/TV

Button transmit the commands used to control a

VCR. Press the

Set Button

q

when the

desired device combination appears.

Figure 38

5. Once the new device is selected, the remainder of

the process will select the codes for the specific

brand to be used, and for that reason they are

identical to the way a device is programmed using

manual entry. Continue the process as outlined in

the next few steps, remembering that if the codes

for your specific device are not found, you may

select any brand and then “learn” the proper

codes into the AVR remote using the process out-

lined on page 41. To begin the process, start by

selecting the brand of device, as shown in Figure

21. Press the

⁄

/

¤

Navigation Button

o

until the brand name of the device you are

programming into the remote appears on

the lower line of the display and then press

the

Set Button

q

.

6. The next step is important, as it determines which

codes will operate the source device or display.

Point the AVR remote at the device being pro-

grammed and, following the instructions shown

on the remote’s

LCD Information Display

2

,

press and release the

Numeric Keys

A

one at

a time, starting with the

“1” Button

A

. After

you press the

“1” Button

A

, the remote’s

LCD screen

will briefly go blank as the code is

being transmitted,

but you will see the “transmit”

icon in the upper right corner of the display to

serve as confirmation that the remote is sending

out commands.

7. After you press and release the number key,

watch the device being programmed to see

whether it turns off. As shown in the instructions

that will appear on the next menu screen (Figure

23), press the

Set Button

q

, and then skip to

Step 9. If the unit does

not

turn off, proceed to

the next step.

8. If the device being programmed into the AVR

remote does

not

turn off after you have pressed

the

“1” Button

A

, continue Steps 6 and 7 by

pressing the available numeric keys shown until

the device turns off. If the device still does not turn

off after all choices have been tried, the code for

this specific device is not in the AVR remote

library under that brand name. If that is the case,

we suggest that you press the

Set Button

q

to accept the codes from another brand so that

the programming is completed, but remember

that you will then have to program the remote

manually by following the Learning Commands

instructions on page 41.

9. When the device being programmed does turn off

after a numeric key has been pressed, you must

press the

Set Button

q

within five seconds to

enter the setting into the remote’s memory. After

you press the Set button, the top line of the LCD

display will read

SAVING...

and then the word

SAVED

will flash four times in the center of the

bottom line.

10. When the codes are saved the remote will return

to normal operation, and whenever you press

the

Input Selector Button

3

that was just

programmed, the display will show the original

device type code at the far left side of the display,

with the name of the new code set type in brack-

ets. For example, the display will read

TV

<

-VCR

in our example of replacing the TV codes with

those for a VCR.

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used

combinations of multiple remote control commands

with the touch of a single button. Once a macro is

programmed, you may send up to 20 commands with

one press of the Power On or Macro buttons. This will

greatly simplify the process of turning on your system,

changing devices or other common tasks. Thanks

to the remote’s two-line display, it is easier than ever

for you to take advantage of the power of macro

commands.

Recording a Macro

To record a macro into the remote’s memory, follow

these steps:

1. Press and hold the

Program Button

y

for

about three seconds while the message shown

in Figure 17 appears in the remote’s

LCD

Information Display

2

. Release the button

when the red light under the

Set Button

q

appears.

2. The remote’s

MAIN MENU

message (Figure

18), will appear in the LCD display and the

Set

Button

q

will remain illuminated in red. Press

the

⁄

Navigation Button

o

three times so

that

MACRO

appears on the bottom line of the

LCD screen, as shown in Figure 39. Press the

Set Button

q

to enter the main macro menu

branch.

Figure 39

3. At the next menu screen (Figure 40) press the

Set Button

q

to begin recording a macro.

Figure 40

4. The next display screen (Figure 41) is where you

select the button that will be used to recall the

macro. The choices are the

Power On Button

1

or one of the discrete

Macro Buttons

±

.

Press the

⁄

/

¤

Navigation Button

o

until the

name of the button you wish to program the

macro into is shown. For this example we will

show how to program a series of commands that

will automatically be sent out every time the

Power button is pressed.

Figure 41

5. The next screen that appears (Figure 42) is where

you select the device for the first command that

will be sent out as part of the macro. Press the

⁄

/

¤

Navigation Button

o

until the name of

the device appears on the left side of the lower

line in the LCD display. For this example, the first

button we want to have the macro “press” is the

Power On button, so the AVR device is selected.

Press the

Set Button

q

when the desired

device name appears to move to the next pro-

gramming step.

Figure 42

6. The next display (Figure 43) is where you begin

entering the individual commands for the macro,

in the order you wish them to be transmitted.
