Try all of the functions on the remote to make certain that the product operates. Keep in mind that many manufacturers use a number of different combinations of codes, and it is a good idea to make certain that that not only the Power control works, but the volume, channel and transport controls, as appropriate. If all functions do not work properly, you may need to Auto-Search for a different code, or enter a code via the Direct Code Entry method. Code Readout When the code has been entered using the Auto Search method, it is always a good idea to find out the exact code so that it may be easily reentered if necessary. You may also read the codes to verify which device has been programmed to a specific Control Selector button. 1. Press and hold both the Device Control Selector b for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the Mute button d at the same time. Hold both buttons until the red light under the button stays lit. Note that the next step must take place while the red light is on, and it must begin within 20 seconds after the light illuminates. 2. Press the Night button j. The red light under the Device Control Selector b will blink in a sequence that corresponds to the three-digit code, with a one-second pause between each digit. Count the number of blinks between each pause to determine the digit of the code. One blink is the number 1, two blinks is the number 2, and so forth. Ten blinks are used to indicate a "0". Example: One blink, followed by a onesecond pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a one-second pause, followed by ten blinks indicates that the code has been set to 160.

When you press any of the Device Control Selectors, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that you have changed the device being controlled. When operating a device other than the AVR45, 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 with the AVR45. 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. The same is true for standard CD player, cassette deck, VCR and DVD functions, which follow the standard function icons printed 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 in this manual. To use those tables, first check the type of device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote control diagram pictured on the following page. Note that each button has a number on it.

Code Readout
When the code has been entered using the
Auto Search method, it is always a good
idea to find out the exact code so that it
may be easily reentered if necessary. You
may also read the codes to verify which
device has been programmed to a specific
Control Selector button.
1. Press and hold both the
Device
Control Selector
b
for the type
of product to be entered (e.g., VCR,
TV) and the
Mute
button
d
at the
same time. Hold both buttons until
the red light under the button stays
lit. Note that the next step must take
place while the red light is on, and it
must begin within 20 seconds after
the light illuminates.
2. Press the
Night
button
j
. The red
light under the
Device Control
Selector
b
will blink in a
sequence that corresponds to the
three-digit code, with a one-second
pause between each digit. Count the
number of blinks between each pause
to determine the digit of the code.
One blink is the number 1, two blinks
is the number 2, and so forth. Ten
blinks are used to indicate a “0”.
Example: One blink, followed by a one-
second pause, followed by six blinks, fol-
lowed by a one-second pause, followed by
ten blinks indicates that the code has
been set to 160.

Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR45’s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices,
press the appropriate
Device Control
Selector

to change the remote
from control over the AVR45 to the addi-
tional product. When you press any of the
Device Control Selectors
, it will
briefly flash in red to indicate that you
have changed the device being controlled.
When operating a device other than the
AVR45, 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

change their function so that they corre-
spond to a secondary label on the remote.

cation is printed directly on the remote.

printed on top of the buttons.
For some products, however, the function

trols, consult the Function List tables
