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 7000, 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 7000. 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 players, cassette decks, VCRs 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 on page 38. To use those tables, first check the type of device being controlled (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 number on the Function List and then look in the column for the device you are controlling. For example, button number 9 is the Test Tone button for the AVR 7000, but it is the "Favorite" button for many cable television boxes and satellite receivers. Button number 35 is the Preset Tune Down button for the AVR 7000, the Reverse Skip button for CD players and the Page Down button for some VCRs. Note that the numbers used to describe the button functions at the left for the purposes of describing how a button operates are a different set of numbers than those used in the rest of this manual to describe the button functions for the AVR. Notes on Using the AVR 7000 Remote With Other Devices. • Manufacturers may use different code sets for the same product category. For that reason, it is important that you check to see if the code set you have entered operates as many controls as possible. If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see if another code set will work with more buttons. • When a button is pressed on the AVR 7000 remote, the red light under the Input or Video Selector c 34 for the product being operated should flash briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for some but not all buttons for a particular product, it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote but rather that no function is programmed for the button being pushed. Volume Punch-Through The AVR 7000's remote may be programmed to operate the Volume Control 32 from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction with any of the eight devices controlled by the remote. For example, since the AVR 7000 will likely be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have the AVR's volume activated although the remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR or TV volume control may be associated with any of the remote's devices. To program the remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow these steps: 1. Press the Input or Video Selector c 34 for the unit you wish to have associated with the volume control and the Mute button f at the same time until the red light illuminates under the Device Selector. 2. Press the Volume Up button 32 . 36 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
