CONFIGURING THE REMOTE

CONFIGURING THE REMOTE 41

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

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

until the display screen

reads

-VCR

to have the VID 2/TV Button

transmit the commands used to control a VCR.
Press the

Set Button

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

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

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

press and release the

Numeric Keys

one at

a time, starting with the “1” button. After you press
the

“1” Button

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

, 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

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

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

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

-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

for

about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s

LCD

Information Display

. Release the button

when the red light under the

Set Button

appears.

2. The remote’s

MAIN MENU

message (Figure 16),

will appear in the LCD display and the

Set Button

will remain illuminated in red. Press the

⁄

Navigation Button

three times so that

MACRO

appears on the bottom line of the LCD

screen, as shown in Figure 37. Press the

Set

Button

to enter the main macro menu

branch.

Figure 37

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

Set Button

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

or one of the discrete

Macro Buttons

Press the

⁄

Navigation Button

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

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

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

for that button, and then press the Command or
Function key. Since we want to program 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.
