PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

Macro Programming

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR 220 remote con-
trol. Once programmed, a macro will send out
up to 19 different remote codes in a predeter-
mined sequential order, enabling you to auto-
mate the process of turning on your system,
changing devices, or other common tasks. The
AVR 220 remote can store up to five separate
macro command sequences: one that is
associated with the

Power On Button

and four more that are accessed by pressing the

Macro Buttons

1. Press the

Mute Button

and the

Macro Button

to be programmed or

the

Power On Button

at the same

time. Note that the last

Input Selector

pressed will light red, and the

Program/SPL Indicator

will flash

amber.

2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by

pressing the button for the actual command
step. Although the macro may contain up to
19 steps, each button press, including those
used to change devices, counts as a step.
The

Program/SPL Indicator

will flash

green to confirm each button press as you
enter commands.

NOTE:

While entering commands for Power

On/Off of any device during a macro sequence,
press the

Mute Button

. DO NOT press the

actual Power Button.

3. When all the steps have been entered,

press the

Sleep Button

to enter the

commands. The red light under the

Input

Selectors

will blink and then

turn off.

Example:

To program the

Macro 1 Button

so that it turns on the AVR 220, TV and

a Cable Box, follow these steps:
• Press the

Macro 1

and

Mute

buttons at the same time and then release
them.

• Note that the

Program/SPL Indicator

will flash amber.

• Press the

AVR Selector

• Press the

Mute Button

to store the

AVR 220’s Power On command.

• Press the

VID2 Input Selector Button

to indicate the next command is to be

transmitted to the TV.

• Press the

Mute Button

to store the

TV Power On Command.

• Press the

VID3 Input Selector Button

to indicate the next command is to be

transmitted to the cable box.

• Press the

Mute Button

to store the

Cable Power On command.

• Press the

Sleep Button

to complete

the process and store the macro sequence.

After following these steps, each time you
press the

Macro 1 Button

, the

remote will send the Power On/Off com-
mand to the AVR 220, the television and
the cable box with a single button press.

Erasing Macro Commands

To erase the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:

1. Press the

Mute Button

and the

Macro Button

that contains the

commands you wish to erase.

2. Note that the

Program/SPL Indicator

will flash amber, and the LED under the

AVR Selector

will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the

Surround

Mode Selector/Channel Down
Button

4. The red LED under the

AVR Selector

will go out, and the

Program/SPL

Indicator

will turn green and flash

three times before it goes out.

5. When the

Program/SPL Indicator

goes out, the Macro has been erased.

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 220’s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices, press
the appropriate

Input Selector

to change

the remote from controlling the AVR 220 to con-
trolling the additional product. 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 220, 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 220. 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 func-
tion as the Channel Up and Channel Down
