PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 55ENGLISHProgramming the RemoteMacro ProgrammingMacros enable you to easily repeat frequentlyused combinations of commands with the pressof a single button on the AVR’s remote control.Once programmed, a macro will send out up to19 different remote codes in a pre-determinedsequential order enabling you to automate theprocess of turning on your system, changingdevices, or other common tasks. The AVR’sremote can store up to five separate macro com-mand sequences, one that is associated with thePower On button 3, and four more that areaccessed by pressing the Macro buttons .1. To start programming a macro, press theMute button and the Macro button to be programmed or the Power-On button3 at the same time. Note that the latestselected Input Selector will light red, and theProgram Indicator 2 will flash amber.2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence bypressing the button for the actual commandstep. Although the macro may contain up to 19steps, 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 Onof any 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 neededfor the AVR Selector button 5 itself, as longas it’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 Selector45 will blink and then turn off and theProgram Indicator 2 will flash green twiceto confirm the 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 turngreen and 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 toa secondary label on the remote. For example,the Sleep and Surround mode selector buttonsalso function as the Channel Up and ChannelDown buttons when operating most TV sets,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 58-59. To use thosetables, first check the type of device beingcontrolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at theremote control diagram on page 58. 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, but-ton number 45 is the”Direct” button for theAVR, but it is the “Favorite” button for manycable television boxes and satellite receivers.Button number 31 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 58 for thepurposes of describing how a button operatesare a different set of numbers than those used inthe rest of this manual to describe the buttonfunctions for the AVR.
