AVR16Making Connections, continued,and Set Up the Remote ControlConnect to AC Powerconnect the Ac power cord to the AVr’s Ac Input connector and then to a working Acpower outlet.AVr AcInput connectorAc poweroutletpower cord(supplied)Set Up the Remote ControlInstall the Batteries in the Remote Controlremove the remote control’s battery cover, insert the three supplied AAA batteries asshown in the illustration, and replace the battery cover.NOTE: Remove the protective film from the AVR’s front panel to keep it fromreducing the remote control’s effectiveness.Program the Remote to Control Your Source Devices and TVIn addition to using the remote to control the AVr itself and the Am/fm radio, you canprogram the remote to control up to five additional audio/video source devices plusyour tV via the cable/Sat, disc, Server, game, Stb and tV Source Selector buttons. theremote is also ready to operate your ipod or iphone device when the device is connectedto the AVr’s front-panel uSb port.once you have programmed the remote, you can switch the remote’s control mode toaccess the functions for a particular source device by pressing the remote’s SourceSelector button for that device. to control the AVr, press the remote’s AVr button.before you begin programming the remote, review the connections you filled in on theInput connections and Source buttons table on page 13. the Source Selector buttons areassigned to the components that you listed in the table’s “connected device” column.each of the programmable Source Selector buttons is set at the factory to control thatspecific type of device: the cable/Sat button is set to control cable/satellite tuners, thedisc button is set to control dVd and blu-ray disc players, the Server button is set tocontrol digital music servers, the game button is set to control game consoles, the Stbbox is set to control dVrs and tiVo® devices, and the tV button is set to control tVs.you can program an unused Source Selector button to control a source device that isdifferent from that button’s factory setting (such as programming the Server button tocontrol a dVd player or a second tV), but completely different types of devices, suchas cd players and Vcrs, cannot be controlled at all. See Advanced Remote ControlProgramming, on page 26, for more information.1. turn on the source device you want to program the remote to control.2. look up the code numbers for the device in tables A10 – A17 in the Appendix. write allthe applicable code numbers in a convenient place.3. press and hold the Source Selector button for that source device until the programIndicator led on the remote starts to flash, then release it. (this procedure places theremote in the programming mode.)4. Aim the remote at the source device and use the remote’s number buttons to enter acode number from Step 2, above.a) If the device turns off, press the Source Selector button again to save its code. theSource Selector button will flash, and the remote will exit the programming mode.b) If the device does not turn off, enter another code number.c) If you run out of code numbers for a device, you can search through all of the codesin the remote’s library for devices of its type by pressing the up or down buttonrepeatedly until the device turns off. when it does, press the Source Selector buttonto save the code.5. check that other functions control the device correctly. Sometimes manufacturers usethe same power code for several models, while other function codes vary. repeat thisprocess until you’ve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of thedevice’s functions.6. If you searched through the remote’s code library to find the code, you can find outwhich code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source Selectorbutton to re-enter the programming mode. then press the remote’s ok button, and theprogram Indicator led will flash in the code sequence. one flash represents “1,” twoflashes represent “2,” and so forth. A series of quick flashes represents “0.” recordthe code number programmed for each device in table A6 in the Appendix.repeat Steps 3 – 6 for each source device you want to control with the AVr remote.In general, the label for each button on the remote describes the button’s function whenused to control the AVr. however, the button may perform a very different function whenused to control another device. refer to the Remote Control Function List, table A9 in theAppendix, for each button’s functions with the various product types.you can also program the remote to perform macros (preprogrammed code sequencesthat execute many code commands with a single button press) and “punch-through”programming (allowing the remote to operate a device’s channel or transport controlswhen the remote is in another device’s mode). See Advanced Remote ControlProgramming, on page 26, for instructions on these functions.
