Programming the Remote
Control

programming other

components’ functions

The remote control provided with the PAV is capable of learning the commands
of almost any other remote control. This is true of any and all buttons on the re-
mote, including those that are pre-programmed from the factory to operate spe-
cific PAV functions. If you find that some other configuration of the PAV remote
control better suits your particular needs, you are free to assign any command to
any button.

Chances are you will want to leave the pre-programmed functions of the remote
control where they are. The first order of business will be to teach the remote
control the critical functions of your other remote controls so you can put them
safely away in a drawer somewhere (reducing the clutter on your coffee table).
Before teaching the PAV remote control new commands, it is a good idea to orga-
nize your thoughts regarding which commands you would like to teach it, and
which buttons are the most logical “locations” for those commands. (See 

Plan-

ning Your Remote Control

, pp. 74-75.)

For example, you may want to group the commands for your most-used compo-
nents (perhaps your CD player and your TV) on the same bank as the PAV com-
mands. Doing so minimizes the need to switch to the other bank.

Once planned, actually teaching the PAV remote the new commands is simple.
Follow these steps:

1

USING A PEN OR SIMILAR OBJECT, PRESS USE/LEARN.

This action places the remote control in the Learning mode, indicated by
the 

ready to learn 

and the 

learned/sending 

lights both being lit. Whenever

you wish to return to normal 

use 

mode, you may press the 

use/learn 

but-

ton again.

2

PRESS THE BUTTON WHICH IS TO RECEIVE A NEW COMMAND

This button becomes the “destination” for the command you are about to
“send” to the PAV remote control from the other component’s remote.

3

WITH THE OTHER REMOTE POINTING INTO THE PAV REMOTE CONTROL’S
IR WINDOW, PRESS AND HOLD THE COMMAND TO BE LEARNED FROM
THE OTHER REMOTE

Note that the PAV remote’s IR window is on the left side of its front surface
as seen from the normal user’s position. The PAV remote control will “re-
ceive” the IR command from the other remote and 

learn 

it, indicated by the

learned/sending 

LED lighting for a few moments. When this occurs, you

may release the button on your other remote.
