IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR580’s
remote may be programmed to control up
to eight devices, including
the AVR580.
Before using the remote, it is important to
remember to press the Input Selector
Button
e that corresponds to the unit
you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR580’s remote is shipped from the fac-
tory to operate the AVR580 and JBL DVD
players. The remote is also capable of
operating a wide variety of other products
using the control codes that are part of
the remote. Before using the remote with
other products, follow the instructions on
pages 40–41 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, depending 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
AVR580. (See page 42 for information
about alternate functions for the remote’s
buttons.)
