INSTALLATION

Enter a code from 

4. 

Step 1, above.

If the device turns off, press the Source Selector again to save the code. 

a) 

It will flash and the remote will exit Program mode.

If the device does not turn off, enter another code. If you run out of 

b) 

codes, search through all of the codes in the remote’s library for that 
product type by pressing the 

K

 or 

L

 Button repeatedly until the 

device turns off. When the device turns off, save the code by pressing 
the Source Selector. It will flash, and the remote will exit Program 
mode.

Check that other functions control the device correctly. Sometimes 

5. 

manufacturers use the same Power code for several models, while other 
codes vary. Repeat this process until you’ve programmed a satisfactory 
code set that operates most functions.

Find out which code number you have programmed by pressing and 

6. 

holding the Source Selector to enter the Program mode. Press the OK 
Button, and the Source Selector will flash in the code sequence. One 
flash represents “1”, two flashes for “2”, and so forth. A series of many fast 
flashes represents “0”. Record the codes programmed for each device in 
Table A9 in the appendix.

to “learn” individual key codes (aVr 460 

only):

You may reprogram individual keys from the device’s original remote by 
following this procedure:

Place the two remotes with their IR transmitters facing each other, about 

a) 

2,5 cm apart. See Figure 18.

Figure 18 – AVR and Device Remotes “Head to Head”

Press the destination Source Selector, then press and hold the Learn 

b) 

Button until the Source Selector lights up.

Press the destination button, and the Source Selector will flash once. You 

c) 

may learn a new code into the following buttons: Device Power On/Off, 
Alphanumeric Keys, Last Button, Back/Exit Button, Menu Button,

KLM 

N

 Navigation Buttons, OK Button, Disc Menu Button, the four Soft key 

Buttons, Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down, Mute and the Transport 
Controls (including Record).

Press and hold the source button until the Source Selector flashes three 

d) 

times.

Program additional buttons by repeating 

e) 

steps c) and d). Press the Learn 

Button once to exit Learning mode, or wait for the remote to “time out” 
and exit Learning mode on its own after about 30 seconds.

Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function 
when used to control the AVR. However, the button may perform a different 
function when used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control 
Function List, Table A13 in the Appendix.

Activities are preprogrammed code sequences that execute many code 
commands with a single button press. “Punch-through” programming allows 
the remote to operate a device’s channel or transport controls with the 
remote in another device’s mode. See the Advanced Functions Manual for 
instructions on these advanced programming functions.

Step tWeLVe – turn on the aVr 460/aVr 360

Two steps are required the first time you turn on the AVR 460/AVR 360.

Flip the rear-panel Main Power Switch to the "On" position. The Power 

1. 

Indicator on the front panel will turn amber, indicating that the AVR is in 
Standby mode and is ready to be turned on. Normally, you may leave the 
Main Power Switch on, even when the receiver is not being used.

There are several ways to turn on the AVR from Standby mode.

2. 

Press the Standby/On Switch on the front panel.

a) 

Using the remote, press the AVR Power On Button or any of the Source 

b) 

Selectors.

NOTES

:

Any time you press one of the Source Selectors on the remote, the 

 

remote will switch device modes. To control the receiver, press the Setup 
Button. Some AVR functions are available in all device modes: Volume 
Controls (including Mute), Audio Effects, Video Modes, Surround Modes, 
Setup, Info Settings, Sleep Settings and AVR Power On and Off.
