PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 43
Programming the Remote
Although the AVR remote is preprogrammed with
an extensive library of codes for many major
brands, it is also possible that you may have
attempted to program a product that is too new
or too old, and thus not all of its commands will
be in the code library. You may fill in the codes
for any button that does not operate properly by
using the learning technique shown on page 43.
Automatic Code Entry
In addition to manual code selection using the
brand name list, it is also possible to automati-
cally search through all the codes that are stored
in the AVR remote’s library to see whether a
device will respond even if it is not listed among
the brands that appear when you program the
remote manually. To automatically search
through the codes that are available for a specific
device type (e.g., DVD, VCR), follow these steps:
1.Turn on the power to the device you wish to
program into the AVR remote.This is impor-
tant, as in a later step you will need to see
whether the device turns off to determine
whether the remote has been programmed for
the proper remote codes.
2. Press and hold the Program Button
a
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display
2
. Release the but-
ton when the red light under the Set Button
F
appears.
3.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure
16) will appear in the LCD display and the Set
Button
F
will remain illuminated in red.
Press the Set Button
F
to begin the
process of selecting a device and locating the
proper remote codes.
4. SELECT A DEVICE will appear in the
LCD display (Figure 17).
Press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons
E
to
scroll through the list of device categories and
press the Set Button
F
when the device
for which you wish to set the codes appears.
For this example, we will select “TV” to enter
the codes needed to operate your TV.
5.At the next menu screen on the remote (Figure
18), press the
⁄
Navigation Buttons
E
so that the bottom line of the LCD display
reads AUTO (Figure 22) and then press the
Set Button
F
to enter the Automatic pro-
gramming mode.
Figure 22
6.As instructed on the next menu screen, press
the
⁄
Navigation Buttons
E
to begin
the automatic code search process. Your con-
firmation that the remote is sending out com-
mands is the movement of a square block
across the top line of the LCD display screen
while the bottom line reads PLEASE WAIT….
You will also see the transmit icon in the upper
right corner of the LCD display’s top line to
remind you that the remote is working even
though you may not see anything happening
to the device being programmed.
7. It will take a few seconds for the remote to
send out the first group of commands, after
which you will see a new display in the LCD
screen, as shown in Figure 23. Following the
instructions, if the device being programmed
has NOT turned off, press the
⁄
Navigation
Buttons
E
again to send another group of
codes. If the device being programmed has
turned off, skip to Step 9.
Figure 23
8. By pressing the
⁄
Navigation Buttons
E
again, the remote will send out a new set of
commands. When it pauses, follow the instruc-
tions shown in Step 7. Depending on how
many codes are stored for a specific device
type, you may have to repeat this process as
many as fifteen times. Remember, if the device
turns off, skip to Step 9.When all the codes for
the device being programmed have been tried,
the instruction shown in Figure 24 will appear.
This means that the codes for the product you
are trying to program are not in the AVR
remote library and you will have to “learn”
them into the remote following the instruc-
tions shown on page 34. Press the Set
Button
F
as instructed to exit the program-
ming process.
Figure 24
9. If the device being programmed does turn off
after following the instructions in Step 7, you
will need to verify the code set by pressing the
Numeric Keys
H
in sequence, as instructed
in Figure 23. Point the remote at the device
being programmed, and press the “1” Button
H
to see whether the device turns back on.
10.After pressing and releasing the “1” Button
H
, check to see whether the device has
turned back on. If it has, skip to Step 12. If it
does not turn on, press the “2” Button
H
,
or the next button in the numeric sequence if
you are repeating the procedure, as instruct-
ed by the LCD screen in Figure 25.
Figure 25
11.When pressing the “1” button does not turn
the device being programmed back on,
repeat the procedure by trying the remainder
of the Numeric Keys
H
in sequence, each
time pressing and then releasing the button
to see whether the new device turns back on.
When it does, skip to the next step. However,
if you try all 10 numeric keys and find that
the unit will not turn on, you won’t be able
to use this method to program the device.
Press the Clear Button
X
to exit the
programming process. You’ll need to follow
the Learning Commands instructions below
to enter the codes for this device into the
AVR remote.
12.When pressing one of the numeric keys in
Step 10 or 11 causes the device being
programmed to turn back on, follow the
instructions shown in Figure 22 and press the
Set Button
F
within five seconds of the
device turning on.After you press the Set
button, the top line of the LCD display will
read SAVING… and then the word SAVED
will flash four times in the center of the
bottom line.
13.When the codes are saved, the remote will
return to normal operation, and whenever
you press the Input Selector Button
4
that was just programmed, the codes for the
new device will be used. If no further buttons
are pressed, the remote will revert back to
the default setting for AVR commands.
Learning Commands
On occasions when the AVR remote does not
contain the codes for a particular product’s
remote in its built-in library, or when you wish to
program a missing or special function into one
button of a device, the AVR remote’s learning
capability allows you to do that.To teach com-
mands from one product’s remote into the AVR
remote, follow these steps:
The process requires that both the device’s origi-
nal remote and the AVR remote be available.
Before pressing any buttons on either remote,
place them so that the IR transmitter on the
remote from the device to be programmed is fac-
ing the Infrared Lens
1
on the AVR’s remote.
The two remotes should be no more than an inch
apart, and there should not be any direct
sunlight or other bright light source near the
remotes.
