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 36 appear,

press the

⁄

/

¤

Navigation Button

n

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

n

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

F

when the desired

device combination appears.

Figure 36

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 outlined on

page 39. To begin the process, start by selecting

the brand of device, as shown in Figure 19. Press

the

⁄

/

¤

Navigation Button

n

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

F

.

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. 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 21),

press the

Set Button

F

, 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” key, 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

F

to accept the

codes from another brand so that the program-

ming is completed, but remember that you will

then have to program the remote manually by

following the Learning Commands instructions on

page 39.

9. When the device being programmed does turn off

after a numeric key has been pressed, you must

press the

Set Button

F

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 pro-

grammed, 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 brackets. 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 15 appears in the remote’s

LCD

Information Display

2

. Release the button

when the red light under the

Set Button

F

appears.

2. The remote’s

MAIN MENU

message (Figure 16),

will appear in the LCD display and the

Set Button

F

will remain illuminated in red. Press the

⁄

Navigation Button

D

three times so that

MACRO

appears on the bottom line of the LCD

screen, as shown in Figure 37. Press the

Set

Button

F

to enter the main macro menu

branch.

Figure 37

3. At the next menu screen (Figure 38) press the

Set Button

F

to begin recording a macro.

Figure 38

4. The next display screen (Figure 39) 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

n

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 39

5. The next screen that appears (Figure 40) is where

you select the device for the first command that

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

⁄

/

¤

Navigation Button

n

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

F

when the desired

device name appears to move to the next pro-

gramming step.

Figure 40

6. The next display (Figure 41) is where you begin

entering the individual commands for the macro,

in the order you wish them to be transmitted.

Remember that when you want to change devices,

you must first press the

Input Selector

de

for that button, and then press the Command or

Function key. Since we want to pro

gram a series

of events that occur each time the Power On

button is pressed, press the AVR button. In your

specific macro, this is the first command button.
