34 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTEProgramming the RemoteProgrammed Device FunctionsOnce the AVR 2000’s remote has been pro-grammed for the codes of other devices, press theappropriate Input Selector 4 to change theremote from control over the AVR 2000 to theadditional product. When you press any of thesebuttons, it will briefly flash in red to indicate thatyou have changed the device being controlled.When operating a device other than the AVR2000, the controls may not correspond exactly tothe function printed on the remote or button.Some commands, such as the volume control, arethe same as they are with the AVR 2000. Otherbuttons will change their function so that theycorrespond to a secondary label on the remote.For example, the Sleep and Surround mode selec-tor buttons also function as the Channel Up andChannel Down buttons when operating most TVsets, VCRs or Sat-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 36. To use thosetables, first check the type of device being con-trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remotecontrol diagram or page 36. Note that each but-ton 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, but-ton number 50 is the Macro 2 button for theAVR 2000, but it is the “Favorite” button formany cable television boxes and satellitereceivers. Button number 29 is the Delay buttonfor the AVR 2000, but the Open/Close button forCD players.Note that the numbers used to describe the but-ton functions at the left for the purposes ofdescribing how a button operates are a differentset of numbers than those used in the rest ofthis manual to describe the button functions forthe AVR 3000.Notes on Using the AVR 2000Remote 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 typeused the functions listed in the Function Listtables may not correspond with the function theunit reacts on the command. In these cases it’s agood idea to edit the reaction of the unit intothe corresponding line of the table or to set up aseparate list.• When a button is pressed on the AVR 2000remote, the red light under the Input Selector4 for the product being operated should flashbriefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes forsome but not all buttons for a particular prod-uct, it does NOT indicate a problem with theremote, but rather that no function is pro-grammed for the button being pushed.• The remote was pre-programmed with codesfor units of the latest generation, but somecodes may differ from those needed for earlierunits.Volume Punch-ThroughThe AVR 2000’s remote may be programmed tooperate the Volume Control " and theMute from either the TV or the AVR in con-junction with any of the six devices controlled bythe remote. For example, since the AVR 2000 willlikely be used as the sound system for TV view-ing, you may wish to have the AVR’s volume acti-vated although the remote is set to run the TV.To program the remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow these steps:1. Press the Input Selector 4 for the unit youwish to have associated with the volume controland the Mute button at the same time untilthe red light illuminates under the Input Selector4 and note that the Program Indicator 2will flash amber.2. Press the Volume Up button "and notethat.the Program Indicator 2 will stopflashing and stay amber.3. Press either the AVR Selector 5 or theInput Selector 4, depending on which sys-tem’s volume control you wish to have attachedfor the punch-through mode. The ProgramIndicator 2 will blink green three times andthen go out to confirm the data entry.Example: To have the AVR’s volume controlactivated even though the remote is set to con-trol the TV, first press the Video/TV InputSelector 4 and the Mute button at thesame time. Next, press the Volume Up button", followed by the AVR Input Selector 5.NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote tothe original configuration after entering aVolume Punch-Through, you will need to repeatthe steps shown above. However, press theVideo/TV Input Selector in steps one andthree.
