CONFIGURING THE REMOTE48 CONFIGURING THE REMOTE48 CONFIGURING THE REMOTEThe learning process requires that both the device’soriginal remote and the AVR remote be available.Before pressing any buttons on either remote, placethem so that the IR transmitter on the remote from thedevice to be programmed is facing the Infrared Lensj on the AVR remote. The two remotes should beno more than an inch apart, and there should not beany direct sunlight or other bright light source nearthe remotes.Learning Keys for an Entire Device Remote1. Press and hold the Program Button y forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display c. Release the buttonwhen the red light under the Set Button Fappears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Fig. 26),will appear in the LCD and the Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄Navigation Button D so that LEARN appearson the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shownin Figure 36. Press the Set Button F to beginthe process of learning commands from anotherdevice’s remote into the AVR remote.Figure 363. To program the codes for a device’s remote intothe AVR remote, press the ⁄ /¤ NavigationButtons D until the words LEARN KEYappear in the bottom line of the LCD, as shownin Figure 37. Press the Set Button F tocontinue. If you wish to program one of theInput Selector buttons for a special code,follow the instructions shown below for“Device Selector Programming”.Figure 374. The SELECT A DEVICE message will appearin the LCD (Figure 27). Press the ⁄ /¤ NavigationButtons D to scroll through the list of devicecategories and press the Set Button F whenthe device for which you wish to set the codesappears. For this example, we will select “TV” toenter the codes needed to operate your TV.5. The next menu screen (Figure 38) will prompt youto select the button, or “key,” on the AVR remotethat you wish to program. Press that button onthe AVR remote.Figure 386. Once you press the button to be programmed onthe AVR remote, press and hold the button on theremote control for the device to be programmedwithin 5 seconds, as instructed on the next menuscreen (Figure 39).Figure 397. Continue to hold the button on the original remoteuntil the menu on the AVR remote’s LCD screenchanges. If the code is successfully learned, you willsee the display shown in Figure 40. If you see thatmessage, proceed to Step 10. If the code is notsuccessfully learned, you will see the display shownin Figure 41. If that menu appears, proceed toSteps 8 and 9.Figure 40Figure 418. If the message shown in Figure 41 appears inthe display, press the Set Button F to tryprogramming the button again. When the remoteprompts you to press and hold the key on theoriginal remote again by showing the displayshown in Figure 39, immediately press the buttonon the source remote again. To avoid anotherfailed attempt, make certain that the windows onthe two remotes are facing one another.9. Continue to hold the button on the original remoteuntil the LCD changes again. If the code wassuccessfully learned, you will see the displayshown in Figure 40. In that case, go to Step 10.If the LEARN FAILED display (Figure 41)appears again, you may either try to program thekey again, or press the ⁄ Navigation ButtonD to stop the process. It is possible that someremotes may use code sequences or infraredfrequencies that are not compatible with theAVR remote, and those codes cannot be learned.When the display shown in Figure 42 appears,press the Set Button F to exit the Learningsystem.Figure 4210. When a code has been learned successfully, youhave a number of options. When the displayshown in Figure 40 is on the LCD screen on theAVR remote, you may press the Set Button Fto learn additional codes from the buttons on asource remote into the AVR remote. Follow Steps5 through 9 as often as needed to complete thecode-learning process.11. If you wish to change the name that appears inthe LCD when the button that has just had a newcode learned is pressed, press the ⁄ NavigationButton D so that the display shown in Figure43 appears in the LCD. Press the Set ButtonF to be taken to a RENAME KEY display.Enter the new name for the key following theinstructions shown in the Renaming IndividualKeys section of this manual on pages 53–54. Ifyou find it more convenient to rename the buttonsat a later time, you may do that separately byfollowing the instructions on page 53.Figure 4312. When you have programmed all keys for thedesired device, press the ⁄ Navigation ButtonD when LEARN MENU (Figure 40) appearsso that you see the display shown in Figure 44.Press the Set Button F to return the remote tonormal operation.Figure 4413. If you wish to program the codes for anotherdevice, repeat the procedure outline above, butselect a different device in Step 4.Learning Codes for an Input SelectorThe AVR 445’s remote allows you to learn a specificcode to be attached to one of the Input Selectorsd so that whenever that button is pressed, you willnot only be selecting that device as the AVR’s input andtelling the remote to use the remote codes that havebeen programmed to belong to that device, it also allowsyou to have that special code transmitted, as well. Thisallows you to have an input (or other command) sent toa display so that when video sources are directly con-nected to the display, you can automatically command itto switch to the same input selected for the AVR.To learn a remote code into one of the InputSelectors d, follow the same steps shown abovefor learning the keys for an entire device remote withthe following exceptions:• In Step 3, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation ButtonsD until LEARN DEVICE appears in thebottom line of the LCD.• When the SELECT A DEVICE message(Figure 27) appears, as described in Step 4, pressthe specific Input Selector Button d that youwish to have transmit a special code when it ispressed.L E A R N M E N UE N D L E A R N I N GL E A R N M E N UR E N A M E K E YL E A R N F A I L E DE X I TL E A R N F A I L E DR E T R YL E A R N M E N UL R N A N O T H E R K E YP R E S S K E Y O NO R I G I N A L R E M O T ES E L E C T A K E YT O P R O G R A ML E A R NL E A R N K E YM A I N M E N UL E A R N
