PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Programming the Remote
Learning Codes
In addition to using codes from the remote’s
internal code library, the AVR 7000’s remote is
able to “learn” codes from remotes that may
not be in the code library. In addition, you may
use this function to “learn over” the codes from
a preprogrammed device to add functions not
included in the preprogrammed codes. To learn
or transfer codes from an IR remote to the
AVR 7000’s remote, follow these steps:
1. Place the front of the original remote with
the code being sent so that it is facing the
IR Transmitter Window
on the
AVR 7000 remote “head-to-head.” The
remotes should be between one and three
inches apart.
2. Select the button on the remote that you
wish to use as the device selector for the
codes about to be entered. This may be any
of the
CD
/
Tape
/
DVD Input Selectors
c
or the
Video Remote Selectors
.
3. Press the
Device Selector
button chosen
c
and the
Set
Button
i
at the
same time. Hold these buttons until the
Program Indicator light
a
turns orange
and the red light under the device selector
button turns red. Release the buttons.
4. Press the button on the AVR 7000 remote
that you wish to program. Note that the
Program Indicator light
a
will begin to
flash continuously and the red light under
the device selector will go out. Note that
any button on the remote EXCEPT the AVR
button
b
, the
CD
/
Tape
/
DVD Input
Selectors
c
or the
Video Remote
Selectors
and the
Light
button
t
may be “taught” a remote code from
another remote.
5. Within five seconds, press and hold the but-
ton on the original remote that you wish to
“teach” into the AVR 7000 remote. When
the
Program Indicator light
a
turns
green, release the button. Note that the
Program Indicator will then begin to flash
orange again.
6. Within five seconds, press the same button
on the source remote again to verify that the
remote code has been learned correctly. The
Program Indicator light
a
will flash
green twice and then turn to a steady
orange color indicating that the program-
ming was successful.
NOTE
: If the
Program Indicator light
a
turns red during step 5 or 6, the program-
ming was not successful. Repeat the steps to
see if the code will “take.”
7. Repeat steps 4 though 6 for each button on
the source remote that you wish to transfer
to the AVR 7000 remote.
8. Once all codes have been transferred from
the original source remote to the AVR 7000
remote, press and hold the
Device Selector
button
c
for the device being pro-
grammed and the
Set
Button
i
at the
same time until the
Program Indicator
light
a
flashes orange twice. Release the
buttons.
9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for any additional
remotes you wish to “teach” into the
AVR 7000 Remote.
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR’s remote control.
Once programmed, a macro will send out
up to eight different remote codes in a pre-
determined sequential order enabling you to
automate the process of turning on your system,
changing devices, or other common tasks. The
AVR’s remote can store up to five separate
macro command sequences, one that is
associated with the Power Button
d
, and four
more that are accessed by pressing the Macro
buttons
r u v
.
1. Press any of the
Input or Video Selectors
c
and the
Mute
button
f
at the
same time until the red light under the
Device Control Selector turns on.
2. Press the button on the remote that you
wish to use for this remote. This may be
either the
Power
button
d
or any of the
four Macro buttons
r u v
. However,
it is recommended that to avoid confusion,
the Power button only be used to enter
turn-on/turn-off sequences. When you press
the button the macro will be programmed
into the light under
Selector
button
c
will blink once.
3. Enter up to eight steps for the macro
sequence by pressing the
Selector
button
c
for the device to be controlled and
then pressing the button for the actual com-
mand step. Although the macro may contain
up to eight steps, each button press, includ-
ing those used to change devices, count as
a step. The red light under the
Selector
button
c
will blink once 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
f
. DO NOT press the
actual Power button.
4. When the eight steps have been entered,
press the
Sleep
button
to enter the
commands. The red light under the
Input
or Video Selectors
c
will blink
and then turn off.
Example:
To program your TV, Cable Box
and the AVR 7000 to turn on when the
Power button is pressed, first press and hold
down the
AVR
button
a
and
Mute
buttons
f
until the red light comes on
under the
AVR
button. Next, press the
Mute
button
f
to enter the Power command for
the AVR. Press the
TV Device Control
Selector
to select the TV mode, and
then press the
Mute
button
f
again, to
select TV Power. Finally, press the
CBL
Device Control Selector
followed
by the
Mute
button
f
to select Cable
Power. Press the
Sleep
button to
enter
the commands.
After following these steps, each time you
press the
Power
button
d
, the remote
will send the Power On/Off command.
To remove a macro program, follow steps 1, 2
and 4 above, but ignore step three. For exam-
ple, to erase the macro just entered, press the
Device Selector
c
and the
Mute
button
f
at the same time until the red light
under the Device Control Selector turns on.
Press the
Power
button
d
and then press
the
Sleep
button
. The red light under the
Device Control Selector
will blink twice to
confirm the data entry and then turn off.
