ReplaceCoverProgram the Remote to Control Your Source Devices and TVYou can program your AVR remote to control many brands and models of audio/videosource devices and TVs. The remote is also ready to operate your iPod or iPhone when itis connected to the AVR’s front-panel USB port.Each of the remote’s Source Selector buttons has been preprogrammed to control certaintypes of source devices:Cable/Sat: Controls cable TV and satellite TV tuner boxesDisc: Controls Blu-ray Disc and DVD playersRadio: Controls the AVR’s built-in FM/AM tunerTV: Controls TVs and video displaysUSB: Browses compatible media on an Apple iOS device that is connected to, or a USBdevice that is inserted in the AVR’s USB port Note: Does not require programming.DVR: Controls TiVo® recordersGame: Controls video-game consolesMedia Server: Controls media serversNetwork: Browses compatible media on DLNA-compatible devices connected to yourhome network and on vTuner (Internet Radio). Note: Does not require programming.AUX: Controls HDTV tuner boxes, CD players, VCRs and PVDs.Although the Source Selector buttons are preprogrammed for the device types listedabove, you can reassign a Source Selector button to a different device type. SeeReassigning a Source Selector Button for a Different Device Type, on page 21.Once you have programmed the remote, you can switch the remote’s control mode toaccess the functions for a particular device by pressing the remote’s Source Selectorbutton for that device.Follow these steps to program the Source Selector buttons for your source devices: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 – A20 in the Appendix. Write allthe applicable code numbers in a convenient place.3. Press the Source Selector button for the device and hold it as it glows red, goes darkand glows red again. Then release it. The remote is now in the Programming mode.NOTE: The remote will remain in the Programming mode for 20 seconds. If you do notcomplete Step 4 within 20 seconds, the remote will exit the Programming mode, and youwill need to repeat Step 3.4. Aim the remote at the source device and use the remote’s Number buttons to enter acode number from Step 1, above.a) If the device turns off, press the Source Selector button again to save the 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 dervices of its type by pressing the remote’s Up 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 theSource Selector button will flash in the code sequence. One flash represents “1,” twoflashes for “2,” and so forth. A series of quick flashes represents “0.” Record the codenumber programmed for each device in Table A7 in the Appendix.Repeat Steps 3 – 6 for each source device you want to control with the AVR remote.Reassigning a Source Selector Button for a Different Device TypeYou can reassign a Source Button to control a different device type (for example, you canprogram the Media Server button to control a DVD player).1. Turn on the source device you want the remote to control.2. Look up the code numbers for the device in Tables A12 – A22 in the Appendix. Write allthe applicable code numbers in a convenient place.3. Press the Source Selector button you want to override and hold it for three secondsas it glows red, goes dark and glows red again. Then release it. The remote is now inthe Programming mode.4. Press the Source Selector button that corresponds to the source device’s type (i.e.,for a DVD player, press the Blu-ray button). The Source Selector button you pressed inStep 3 will flash once.5. 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 from Step 3 again tosave the code. The Source Selector button will flash, and the remote will exit theProgramming 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 remote’s Up buttonrepeatedly until the device turns off. When it does, press the Source Selector buttonfrom Step 3 to save the code.Most of the button labels on the AVR remote describe each button’s function when theremote is used to control the AVR. However, the button may perform a different functionwhen used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control Function List, TableA13 in the Appendix.TR00306_AVR_OM_161S and 171S_EMEA_B.indb 21 26/05/15 2:29 pm
