PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Programming the Remote
Returning the Transport Control Settings to
Default Operation:
If you wish to remove the Transport Punch-
Through so that the transport commands are
returned to the factory default setting, follow the
steps shown above, except that in Steps 4 and 5,
select the same device for both the
DEVICE IN
USE
on the left side of the bottom line and the
PUNCH-THROUGH
device. In the example used,
the display to return the remote to default
settings will appear as shown in Figure 73.

Renaming
While the names given to the buttons and inputs
on the AVR represent recognizable categories of
audio/ video products, system operation may be
easier if the displays shown in the remote’s LCD
screen are customized to reflect the specific
characteristics of a playback source’s brand name
or the new function given to a specific button
when one remote’s controls are programmed into
the AVR remote. The AVR remote allows you to
change the name of either a master device or
any button on the remote using the following
steps.
Renaming a Device
To rename a specific device/input source button,
follow these steps. For this example, we will
show you how to rename the Device/Input
Selector normally shown as “TV” to “HDTV
TUNER.”
1. Press and hold the
Program Button
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display
2
. Release the
button when the red light under the
Set
Button
F
appears.
2. The remote’s
MAIN MENU
message (Figure
26), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button
F
will remain illuminated in
red. Press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
until
RENAME
appears on the bottom
line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 74.
Figure 74
3. At the next menu screen press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
until
RENAME
DEVICE
appears on the bottom line of the
LCD screen, as shown in Figure 75. Press the
Set Button
F
to begin renaming a device.
Figure 75
4. The next display screen (Figure 76) is where
you select the device that will be renamed. In
our example, that is the TV button. Press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
until the
name of the base device appears and then
press the
Set Button
F
.
Figure 76
5. At the next menu screen you will see the
device name on the bottom line of the display
with a blinking cursor box to the right of the
device name. Press the
‹
Navigation
Buttons
E
to return the blinking cursor to
the far left side of the display line. You may
then retitle the device name as shown in the
next step.
6. To enter the new name, press the
Numeric
Keys
H
. The letters above the numbered
buttons indicate which letter or symbol will
appear when the button is pressed during the
renaming process. The first press of the button
will enter the first letter shown, subsequent
presses of the same button will change the
display to the other letters above that
numbered key. For example, since the first
letter we need to rename the input to HDTV
Tuner is an “H”, you would locate the “H”
above the “4” button, and press the button
twice. The first press shows a “G,” the second
press changes it to an “H.” Consult the table
at the end of this section to see which
characters pressing a particular button
generates.
7. After you enter the first letter of the new
device name, there are three options for
entering the next character:
a. To enter a letter that requires a different
numeric key to be pressed, simply press
that button. The cursor will automatically
move to the next position and the first
letter accessed by the new button will
appear. Following our example, the next
letter needed is a “D,” so you would press
the “3” button once.
b. To enter a letter that uses the same
numeric key, you must first press the
›
Navigation Buttons
E
to move the
blinking cursor block to the next position.
Then press the
Numeric Key
H
as
required to enter the desired letter.
c. To enter a blank space, press the
›
Navigation Buttons
E
twice. The first
press will move the cursor to the right, and
the second press will move the cursor one
more space to the right, leaving a blank
space between the last letter and the next
one.
8. Repeat Step 7 as needed to enter all the
needed letters, numbers, characters and
spaces.
9. When the text entry is complete, press the
Set Button
F
. The LCD display will blink
DEVICE RENAMED
three times and then
return to normal operation.
Once a device is renamed you will see the new
name on the top line of the remote’s LCD display
whenever the
Input/Device Selector
4
is
pressed, or when any other command/function
button on the remote is pressed after the main
Device Selector is pressed. Note that renaming a
device in the remote will not change the name of
the input used by the on-screen menu system of
the AVR.
Notes on Renaming Devices:
• To move the cursor to the right or left of the
display during the renaming process, press the
‹
/
›
Navigation Buttons
E
as required.

and characters that may be accessed by

• Renaming a device changes the name of the
device only, not any of the individual key
functions within that device memory. To
change the name of an individual device,
follow the instructions in the next section.
Renaming Individual Keys
Thanks to the programming flexibility of the AVR
remote, an individual button on the remote may
be assigned a feature or function that is different
from the name that appears as the factory
default when the button is pressed. However,
with the Rename Key function it is possible to
rename almost any button on the remote so that
when the button is pressed you will see a more
descriptive or appropriate name displayed.
To rename a specific button on the remote,
follow these steps. For this example, we will
show you how to rename the
Tone Control
Button
, which is normally not used when
DVD is selected so that it reads ZOOM in the
remote’s display.
1. Press and hold the
Program Button
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display
2
. Release the
button when the red light under the
Set
Button
F
appears.
2. The remote’s
MAIN MENU
message (Figure
26), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button
F
will remain illuminated in
red. Press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
until
RENAME
appears on the bottom
line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 74.
