34 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Programming the Remote
The AVR 7000 is equipped with a powerful
remote control that will control not only the
receiver’s functions, but also most popular
brands of audio and video equipment, including
CD players, cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes,
VCRs, satellite receivers and other home-theater
equipment. Once the AVR 7000’s remote is pro-
grammed with the codes for the products you
own, it is possible to eliminate most other
remotes and replace them with the convenience
of a single, backlit universal remote control.
Programming the Remote
As shipped from the factory, the remote
is fully programmed for all AVR 7000 functions,
as well as those of most Harman Kardon CD
changers, DVD players, CD players and cassette
decks. In addition, by following one of the
methods below, you may program the remote
to operate a wide range of devices from other
manufacturers.
Direct Code Entry
This method is the easiest way to program your
remote to work with different products.
1. Use the tables in the following pages to
determine the three-digit code or codes that
match both the product type (e.g., VCR,TV),
and the specific brand name. If there is
more than one number for a brand, make
note of the different choices.
2.Turn on the unit you wish to program into
the AVR 7000 remote.
3. Press and hold both the Input or Video
Selector c for the type of product
to be entered (e.g., VCR,TV) and the Mute
button f at the same time. Hold both
buttons until the red light under the
Selector buttonc stays lit. Note
that the next step must take place while the
red light is on, and it must begin within 20
seconds after the light illuminates.
4. Point the AVR 7000’s remote towards the
unit to be programmed, and enter the first
three-digit code number using the Numeric
Keys buttons q. If the unit turns off, the
correct code has been entered. Press the
Input or Video Selector c again,
and note that the red light will flash twice
before going dark to confirm the entry.
5. If the device to be programmed in does NOT
turn off, continue to enter the three-digit
code numbers until the equipment turns off.
At this point, the correct code has been
entered. Press the Input or Video
Selector c again and note that the
red light will flash twice before going dark
to confirm the entry.
6.Try all of the functions on the remote to
make certain that the product operates
properly. Keep in mind that many manufac-
turers use a number of different combina-
tions of codes, so it is a good idea to make
certain that not only does the Power control
work, but that the volume, channel and
transport controls work as they should. If
functions do not work properly, you may
need to use a different remote code.
7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the
unit off, if the code for your product does
not appear in the tables in this manual, or
if not all functions operate properly, try
programming the remote with the Auto
Search Method.
Auto Search Method
If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 7000’s
remote is not listed in the code tables in this
manual or if the code does not seem to operate
properly, you may wish to program the correct
code using the Auto Search method that follows:
1.Turn on the unit that you wish to include in
the AVR 7000 remote.
2. Press the Input or Video Selector c
for the type of product to be entered
(e.g., VCR,TV) and the Mute button f at
the same time. Hold both buttons until the
red light under the button c stay lit.
Note that the next step must take place
while the red light is on, and it must begin
within 20 seconds after the light illuminates.
3. Point the AVR 7000 remote towards the
unit to be programmed, and press and
hold the Surround Mode Selector
or the Sleep button . This will send
out a series of codes from the remote’s built-
in data base, with each flash of the red light
under the Input or Video Selector c
indicating that a code has been sent.
When the device to be programmed turns off,
IMMEDIATELY release the Surround Mode
or Sleep button.
4. Press the Input or Video Selector c
again, and note that the red light will
flash twice before going dark to confirm
the entry.
5.Try all of the functions on the remote to
make certain that the product operates.
Keep in mind that many manufacturers use
a number of different combinations of
codes, and it is a good idea to make certain
that not only the Power control works, but
the volume, channel and transport controls,
as appropriate. If all functions do not work
properly, you may need to Auto-Search for a
different code, or enter a code via the Direct
Code Entry method.
Code Readout
When the code has been entered using the Auto
Search method, it is always a good idea to find
out the exact code so that it may be easily reen-
tered if necessary. You may also read the codes
to verify which device has been programmed to
a specific Control Selector button.
1. Press and hold both the Input or Video
Selector c for the type of product
to be entered (e.g., VCR, TV) and the
Mute button f at the same time. Hold
both buttons until the red light under the
buttons c stay lit. Note that the
next step must take place while the red
light is on, and it must begin within 20
seconds after the light illuminates.
2. Press the Test Tone button e.The red light
under the Input or Video Selector c
will blink in a sequence that corre-
sponds to the three-digit code, with a one-
second pause between each digit. Count the
number of blinks between each pause to
determine the digit of the code. One blink is
the number 1, two blinks is the number 2,
and so forth.Ten blinks are used to indicate
a “0.”
Example: One blink, followed by a one-second
pause, followed by six blinks, followed by a
one-second pause, followed by ten blinks indi-
cates that the code has been set to 160.
