PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

The AVR 130 is equipped with a powerful remote

control that will control both the receiver’s functions

and most popular brands of audio and video equip-

ment, including CD players, cassette decks, TV sets,

cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home

theater equipment. Once the AVR 130’s remote is

programmed with the codes for the products you own,

it is possible to eliminate most other remotes and

replace them with the convenience of a single, univer-

sal remote control.

As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully pro-

grammed for all AVR 130 functions, as well as those of

most Harman Kardon CD changers, DVD players, CD

recorders, CD players and cassette decks. In addition,

by following one of the methods below, you may pro-

gram the remote to operate a wide range of devices

from other manufacturers.

Direct Code Entry

This method is the easiest way to program your

remote to work with different products.

1. Use the tables in the following pages to determine

the three-digit code or codes that match both the

product type printed on the remote above the

Input Selector

e

(e.g., VCR, TV), and the

specific brand name. If there is more than one

number for a brand, make note of the different

choices.

2. Turn on the unit you wish to program into the

AVR 130 remote.

3. Press and hold both the

Input Selector

e

for

the product you wish to control (e.g., VCR, TV) and

the

Mute Button

at the same time.When

the

Program Indicator

c

turns amber and

begins flashing, and the

Input Selector

e

turns

red, release the buttons. It is important that you

begin the next step within 20 seconds.

NOTE:

Be certain that the device you are attempt-

ing to program is connected to the corresponding

input jacks. For example, you may only program

the codes for a VCR or PVR device such as a

TiVo

®

to the

VID1/VCR Input Selector

e

,

only TVs and projectors to the

VID2/TV Input

Selector

e

, only cable and satellite set-tops

to the

VID3/CBL/SAT Input Selector

e

, and

so forth.

4. Point the AVR 130’s remote towards the unit to be

programmed and enter the first three-digit code

number using the

Numeric Keys

r

. The

Program Indicator

c

will change to a flashing

green to indicate that a code has been entered.

If the unit turns off, the correct code has been

entered. Press the

Input Selector

e

again, and

note that the red light will flash three times before

going dark to confirm the entry.

5. If the device to be programmed into the remote

does NOT turn off, continue to enter three-digit

code numbers until the equipment turns off. At this

point, the correct code has been entered. Press

the

Input Selector

e

again and note that the

red light under the

Input Selector

e

will flash

three times before going dark to confirm the entry.

6. Try all of the functions on the remote to make cer-

tain that the product operates properly. Keep in

mind that many manufacturers use a number of

different combinations of codes, so it is a good

idea to make certain that not only the power con-

trol, but the volume, channel and transport controls

work as they should. If functions do not work

properly, you may need to use a different remote

code.

7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit off, if

the code for your product does not appear in the

tables in this manual, or if not all functions oper-

ate properly, try programming the remote with

the Auto Search Method.

Auto Search Method

If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 130’s remote

is not listed in the code tables in this manual or if the

code does not seem to operate properly, you may wish

to program the correct code using the Auto Search

method that follows:

1. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in the

AVR 130 remote.

2. Press the

Input Selector

e

for the type of

product to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the

Mute Button

at the same time. Hold both

buttons until the red light under the

Input Selector

e

stays lit and the

Program Indicator

c

turns amber and begins flashing. Note that the next

step must take place while the red light is on, and

it must begin within 20 seconds after the light

appears.

3. Point the AVR 130 remote toward the unit to be

programmed and press either the

⁄

or

¤

Button

n

. The

Program Indicator

c

will change to

a flashing green to indicate that a code has been

entered. Each press will send out a three-digit code

from the remote’s built-in database. When the unit

being programmed turns off, release the

⁄

or

¤

Button

n

, as that is your indication that the cor-

rect code is in use.

4. Press the

Input Selector

e

, and note that the

red light under the Input Selector will flash three

times before going dark to confirm the entry.

5. Try all of the functions on the remote to make cer-

tain 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 not only the power control

works, but also that the volume, channel and

transport controls function properly. 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 neces-

sary. 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

Input Selector

e

for

the device for which you wish to find the code

and the

Mute Button

at the same time.

Note that the

Program Indicator

c

will initally

turn amber. Release the buttons and begin the

next step within 20 seconds.

2. Press the

Set Button

o

. The

Program

Indicator

c

will then blink green in a sequence

that corresponds to the three-digit code, with a one-

second pause between digits. Count the number of

blinks between pauses to determine the digit of the

code. One blink is the number 1, two blinks indicate

the number 2, and so forth, while 10 blinks are used

to indicate a “0.”

Example: One blink, followed by a one-second pause,

followed by six blinks, followed by a one-second

pause, followed by 10 blinks indicates that the code

has been set to 160.
