42 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR5000’s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices, press the
appropriate Input Selector
4
to change the
remote from control over the AVR5000 to the
additional product.When you press any of these
buttons, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that
you have changed the device being controlled.
When operating a device other than the
AVR5000, the controls may not correspond exact-
ly to the function printed on the remote or but-
ton. Some commands, such as the volume con-
trol, are the same as they are with the AVR5000.
Other buttons will change their function so that
they correspond to a secondary label on the
remote. For example, the Sleep and Surround
mode selector buttons also function as the
Channel Up and Channel Down buttons when
operating most TV sets, VCRs or Sat-Receivers.
For some products, however, the function of a
particular button does not follow the command
printed on the remote. In order to see which
function a button controls, consult the Function
List tables printed on page 44.To use those
tables, first check the type of device being con-
trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote
control diagram or page 44. Note that each but-
ton has a number on it.
To find out what function a particular button has
for a specific device, find the button number on
the Function List and then look in the column for
the device you are controlling. For example, but-
ton number 54 is the Macro 2 button for the
AVR5000, but it is the “Favorite” button for
many cable television boxes and satellite
receivers. Button number 32 is the Delay button
for the AVR5000, but the Open/Close button for
CD players.
Note that the numbers used to describe the but-
ton functions at the left for the purposes of
describing how a button operates are a different
set of numbers than those used in the rest of this
manual to describe the button functions for the
AVR 5000.
Notes on Using the AVR5000
Remote With Other Devices.
• Manufacturers may use different code sets for
the same product category. For that reason, it is
important that you check to see if the code set
you have entered operates as many controls as
possible. If it appears that only a few functions
operate, check to see if another code set will
work with more buttons.
• Depending on the brand and product type used
the functions listed in the Function List tables
may not correspond with the function the unit
reacts on the command. In these cases it’s a
good idea to edit the reaction of the unit into the
corresponding line of the table or to set up a
separate list.
• When a button is pressed on the AVR5000
remote, the red light under the Input Selector
4
for the product being operated should flash
briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for
some but not all buttons for a particular product,
it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote,
but rather that no function is programmed for
the button being pushed.
• The remote was pre-programmed with codes
for units of the latest generation, but some codes
may differ from those needed for earlier units.
When your device doesn’t react as listed in the
function list (page 44/45), let the AVR5000
remote learn the appropriate codes from the
original remote (learning codes see page 40).
Volume Punch-Through
The AVR5000’s remote may be programmed to
operate the Volume Control
X
and the Mute
b
from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction
with any of the six devices controlled by the
remote. For example, since the AVR5000 will likely
be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you
may wish to have the AVR’s volume activated
although the remote is set to run the TV.
To program the remote for Volume Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector
4
for the unit you
wish to have associated with the volume control
and the Mute button
b
at the same time until
the red light illuminates under the Input Selector
4
and note that the Program/SPL Indicator
2
will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up button
X
and note
that.the Program/SPL Indicator
2
will stop
flashing and stay amber.
3. Press either the AVR Selector
5
or the
Input Selector
4
, depending on which sys-
tem’s volume control you wish to have attached
for the punch-through mode. The Program/SPL
Indicator
2
will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR’s volume control acti-
vated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector
4
and the Mute button
b
at the same time.
Next, press the Volume Up button
X
, followed
by the AVR Input Selector
5
.
NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to
the original configuration after entering a Volume
Punch-Through, you will need to repeat the steps
shown above. However, press the Video/TV
Input Selector in steps one and three.
