44 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTEExample: One blink, followed by a one-secondpause, followed by six blinks, followed by a one-second pause, followed by four blinks indicatesthat the code has been set to 164.For future reference enter the Setup Codes for theequipment in your system here:DVD ____________ CD ________________VID1/VCR ________ VID3/TV __________VID2/CBL/SAT ______________________TAPE ______________________________Macro ProgrammingMacros enable you to easily repeat frequentlyused combinations of commands with the press ofa single button on the AVR’s remote control. Onceprogrammed, a macro will send out up to 19different remote codes in a pre-determinedsequential order enabling you to automate theprocess of turning on your system, changingdevices, or other common tasks. The AVR’s remotecan store up to five separate macro commandsequences, one that is associated with the PowerOn button 3, and four more that are accessedby pressing the Macro buttons .1. To start programming a macro, press the Mutebutton and the Macro button to beprogrammed or the Power-On button 3 at thesame time. Note that the latest selected InputSelector will light red, and the ProgramIndicator 2 will flash amber.2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence bypressing the button for the actual command step.Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps,each button press, including those used tochange devices, counts as a step. The ProgramIndicator 2 will flash green twice to confirmeach button press as you enter commands.NOTE: While entering commands for Power On ofany device during a macro sequence, press theMute button . DO NOT press the Power ONbutton 3.• Remember to press the appropriate InputSelector button 4 before functions arechanged to another device. This is also needed forthe AVR Selector button 5 itself, as long asit’s not lit red and AVR functions shall beprogrammed.3. When all the steps have been entered, pressthe Sleep button 9 to enter the commands.The red light under the Input Selector 45will blink and then turn off and the ProgramIndicator 2 will flash green twice to confirmthe macro to be programmed.Example: To program the Macro 1 buttonso that it turns on the AVR, TV and a Sat-Receiver,follow these steps:• Press the Macro 1 button and Mutebuttons at the same time and then release them.• Note that the Program Indicator will flashamber.• Press the AVR Selector 5.• Press the Mute button to store the AVR’spower on command.• Press the VID 2 Input Selector button 4 toindicate the next command is for “TV”.• Press the Mute button to store the TVPower On Command.• Press the VID 3 Input Selector button 4to indicate the next command is for “Sat-Receiver”.• Press the Mute button to store the Sat-Receiver Power On command.• Press the Sleep/Channel Up button 9 tocomplete the process and store the macrosequence.After following these steps, each time you pressthe Macro 1 button , the remote will sendall Power On commands.Erasing Macro CommandsTo remove the commands that have been pro-grammed into one of the Macro buttons, followthese steps:1. Press the Mute button and the Macrobutton that contains the commands youwish to erase.2. Note that the Program Indicator 2 willflash amber, and the red LED under the InputSelector 45 last used will turn on.3. Within ten seconds, press the SurroundMode Selector/Channel Down button A.4. The red LED under the Selector will go out,and the Program Indicator 2 will turn greenand flash three times before it goes out.5. When the Program Indicator 2 goes out,the Macro has been erased.Programmed Device FunctionsOnce the AVR’s remote has been programmed forthe codes of other devices, press the appropriateInput Selector 4 to change the remote fromcontrol over the AVR to the additional product.When you press any of these buttons, it will brieflyflash in red to indicate that you have changed thedevice being controlled.When operating a device other than the AVR, thecontrols may not correspond exactly to the func-tion printed on the remote or button. Some com-mands, such as the volume control, are the sameas they are with the AVR. Other buttons willchange their function so that they correspond to asecondary label on the remote. For example, theSleep and Surround mode selector buttons alsofunction as the Channel Up and Channel Downbuttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs orSat-Receivers.For some products, however, the function of aparticular button does not follow the commandprinted on the remote. In order to see whichfunction a button controls, consult the FunctionList tables printed on page 46-47. To use thosetables, first check the type of device beingcontrolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at theremote control diagram on page 46. Note thateach button has a number on it.To find out what function a particular button hasfor a specific device, find the button number onthe Function List and then look in the column forthe device you are controlling. For example,button number 43 is the”Direct” button for theAVR, but it is the “Favorite” button for manycable television boxes and satellite receivers.Button number 29 is the Delay button for theAVR, but the Open/Close button for CD players.Note that the numbers used to describe thebutton functions above and on page 46 for thepurposes of describing how a button operates area different set of numbers than those used in therest of this manual to describe the buttonfunctions for the AVR.Notes on Using the AVRRemote With Other Devices.• Manufacturers may use different code sets forthe same product category. For that reason, it isimportant that you check to see if the code setyou have entered operates as many controls aspossible. If it appears that only a few functionsoperate, check to see if another code set willwork with more buttons.• Depending on the brand and product type usedthe functions listed in the Function List tablesmay not correspond with the function the unitreacts on the command. In these cases it’s agood idea to edit the reaction of the unit into thecorresponding line of the table or to set up aseparate list.• When a button is pressed on the AVR remote, thered light under the Input Selector 45 forthe product being operated should flash briefly. Ifthe Device Control Selector flashes for some butnot all buttons for a particular product, it doesNOT indicate a problem with the remote, butrather that no function is programmed for thebutton being pushed.Volume Punch-ThroughThe AVR’s remote may be programmed to operatethe Volume Control and the Mutefrom either the TV or the AVR in conjunction withany of the devices controlled by the remote. Forexample, since the AVR will likely be used as thesound system for TV viewing, you may wish tohave the AVR’s volume activated although theremote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR or TVvolume control may be associated with any of theremote´s devices.Programming the Remote
