PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 43Programming the RemoteAlthough the AVR remote is preprogrammed withan extensive library of codes for many majorbrands, it is also possible that you may haveattempted to program a product that is too newor too old, and thus not all of its commands willbe in the code library. You may fill in the codesfor any button that does not operate properly byusing the learning technique shown on page 43.Automatic Code EntryIn addition to manual code selection using thebrand name list, it is also possible to automati-cally search through all the codes that are storedin the AVR remote’s library to see whether adevice will respond even if it is not listed amongthe brands that appear when you program theremote manually. To automatically searchthrough the codes that are available for a specificdevice type (e.g., DVD, VCR), follow these steps:1. Turn on the power to the device you wish toprogram into the AVR remote. This is impor-tant, as in a later step you will need to seewhether the device turns off to determinewhether the remote has been programmed forthe proper remote codes.2. Press and hold the Program Button & forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display 2. Release the but-ton when the red light under the Set ButtonF appears.3. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure16) will appear in the LCD display and the SetButton F will remain illuminated in red.Press the Set Button F to begin theprocess of selecting a device and locating theproper remote codes.4. SELECT A DEVICE will appear in theLCD display (Figure 17).Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E toscroll through the list of device categories andpress the Set Button F when the devicefor which you wish to set the codes appears.For this example, we will select “TV” to enterthe codes needed to operate your TV.5. At the next menu screen on the remote (Figure18), press the ⁄ Navigation Buttons Eso that the bottom line of the LCD displayreads AUTO (Figure 22) and then press theSet Button F to enter the Automatic pro-gramming mode.Figure 226. As instructed on the next menu screen, pressthe ⁄ Navigation Buttons E to beginthe automatic code search process. Your con-firmation that the remote is sending out com-mands is the movement of a square blockacross the top line of the LCD display screenwhile the bottom line reads PLEASE WAIT….You will also see the transmit icon in the upperright corner of the LCD display’s top line toremind you that the remote is working eventhough you may not see anything happeningto the device being programmed.7. It will take a few seconds for the remote tosend out the first group of commands, afterwhich you will see a new display in the LCDscreen, as shown in Figure 23. Following theinstructions, if the device being programmedhas NOT turned off, press the ⁄ NavigationButtons E again to send another group ofcodes. If the device being programmed hasturned off, skip to Step 9.Figure 238. By pressing the ⁄ Navigation Buttons Eagain, the remote will send out a new set ofcommands. When it pauses, follow the instruc-tions shown in Step 7. Depending on howmany codes are stored for a specific devicetype, you may have to repeat this process asmany as fifteen times. Remember, if the deviceturns off, skip to Step 9. When all the codes forthe device being programmed have been tried,the instruction shown in Figure 24 will appear.This means that the codes for the product youare trying to program are not in the AVRremote library and you will have to “learn”them into the remote following the instruc-tions shown on page 34. Press the SetButton F as instructed to exit the program-ming process.Figure 249. If the device being programmed does turn offafter following the instructions in Step 7, youwill need to verify the code set by pressing theNumeric Keys H in sequence, as instructedin Figure 23. Point the remote at the devicebeing programmed, and press the “1” ButtonH to see whether the device turns back on.10. After pressing and releasing the “1” ButtonH, check to see whether the device hasturned back on. If it has, skip to Step 12. If itdoes not turn on, press the “2” Button H,or the next button in the numeric sequence ifyou are repeating the procedure, as instruct-ed by the LCD screen in Figure 25.Figure 2511. When pressing the “1” button does not turnthe device being programmed back on,repeat the procedure by trying the remainderof the Numeric Keys H in sequence, eachtime pressing and then releasing the buttonto see whether the new device turns back on.When it does, skip to the next step. However,if you try all 10 numeric keys and find thatthe unit will not turn on, you won’t be ableto use this method to program the device.Press the Clear Button # to exit theprogramming process. You’ll need to followthe Learning Commands instructions belowto enter the codes for this device into theAVR remote.12. When pressing one of the numeric keys inStep 10 or 11 causes the device beingprogrammed to turn back on, follow theinstructions shown in Figure 22 and press theSet Button F within five seconds of thedevice turning on. After you press the Setbutton, the top line of the LCD display willread SAVING… and then the word SAVEDwill flash four times in the center of thebottom line.13. When the codes are saved, the remote willreturn to normal operation, and wheneveryou press the Input Selector Button 4that was just programmed, the codes for thenew device will be used. If no further buttonsare pressed, the remote will revert back tothe default setting for AVR commands.Learning CommandsOn occasions when the AVR remote does notcontain the codes for a particular product’sremote in its built-in library, or when you wish toprogram a missing or special function into onebutton of a device, the AVR remote’s learningcapability allows you to do that. To teach com-mands from one product’s remote into the AVRremote, follow these steps:The process requires that both the device’s origi-nal remote and the AVR remote be available.Before pressing any buttons on either remote,place them so that the IR transmitter on theremote from the device to be programmed is fac-ing the Infrared Lens 1 on the AVR’s remote.The two remotes should be no more than an inchapart, and there should not be any directsunlight or other bright light source near theremotes.1. Press and hold the Program Button & forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display 2. Release the but-ton when the red light under the Set ButtonF appears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure16), will appear in the LCD display and theSet Button F will remain illuminated inred.
