Device Priority Timing
The remote’s Device Priority mode allows you to
select the length of time that the remote continues to
issue codes for a device other than the AVR once you
use the remote to control a source or other product.
The default operation for the remote is to have all
buttons on the remote return to their AVR functions
5 seconds after the last button press. However, you
may program the AVR remote to remain active as the
source device remote for 12 seconds, or to keep the
source device’s codes active until another
Input
Selector
d is pressed. If you wish to keep the
default setting of a 5-second return, no changes
are needed.
To change the device priority timing, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button y for
about 3 seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display
c. Release the button
when the red light under the

Backlight Options
The A
VR 445’s remote has a built-in backlight system
that makes it easier to use the remote when the room
lighting is dimmed for an optimal home theater experi-
ence. To turn the backlighting on, simply press the
Light Button z.
That button is made from a spe
-
cial “glow” material that makes it easier to find in dark
rooms. This glow feature does not use any battery
power
,
so the glow will fade when the remote is kept
in a dark room for an extended period of time. You
may
“recharge” it by placing the remote in nor
mal
room lighting for a few hours.
Once the
Light Button z is pressed, the remote’s
backlighting will remain on for approximately 7 sec-
onds, and when you press any button on the remote
while the backlighting is on, the light will stay on for
another 7 seconds. However, the remote’s “Couch”
function will conserve battery power by turning both
the backlighting and the LCD off when any button is
pressed for more than 30 seconds
.
You may also configure the remote so that the back-
lighting will come on, any time a button is pressed.
T
o set this option,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the
Program Button y for
about 3 seconds while the message shown in
Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD. Release
the button when the red light under the
Set
B
