Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR5’s
remote may be programmed to con-
trol up to three additional devices,
including the AVR5. Before using the
remote, it is important to remember to
press the Device Control Selector
button ∂≠that corresponds to the
unit you wish to operate. The remote
is capable of operating a wide variety
of products using the control codes
that are part of the remote. Before
using the remote with other products,
follow the instructions on pages
23–26 to program the proper codes
for the products in your system.
It is also important to remember that
many of the buttons on the remote
take on different functions, depend-
ing on the product selected using
the Device Control Selectors. The
descriptions shown here primarily
detail the functions of the remote
when it is used to operate the AVR5.
(See page 24 for information about
alternate functions for the remote’s
buttons.)
å LED Indicator: This indicator
will flash whenever a button is
pressed to confirm that a remote
command is being transmitted. It will
also flash while the remote is being
programmed to assist in entering or
reading remote codes. Note that this
is NOT a standard remote button,
and has no function when pressed.

AVR5 on.
∂ Device Control Selectors: Press
one of these buttons to use the
remote to control the functions of
another audio/video device. Note
that the button will briefly turn red

your selection. (See pages 23–25 for
information on programming the
AVR5’s remote to operate these
devices.)

DVD and LD equipment when the
remote is properly programmed to
control them.
