PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 49Programming the RemoteRenamingWhile the names given to the buttons and inputson the AVR represent recognizable categories ofaudio/ video products, system operation may beeasier if the displays shown in the remote’s LCDscreen are customized to reflect the specific char-acteristics of a playback source’s brand name orthe new function given to a specific button whenone remote’s controls are programmed into theAVR remote. The AVR remote allows you tochange the name of either a master device orany button on the remote using the followingsteps.Renaming a DeviceTo rename a specific device/input source button,follow these steps. For this example, we willshow you how to rename the Device/InputSelector normally shown as “TV” to “HDTVTUNER.”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. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation ButtonsE until RENAME appears on the bottomline of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 66.Figure 663. At the next menu screen press the ⁄¤Navigation Buttons E until RENAMEDEVICE appears on the bottom line of theLCD screen, as shown in Figure 67. Press theSet Button F to begin renaming a device.Figure 674. The next display screen (Figure 68) is whereyou select the device that will be renamed. Inour example, that is the TV button. Press the⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until thename of the base device appears and thenpress the Set Button F.Figure 685. At the next menu screen you will see thedevice name on the bottom line of the displaywith a blinking cursor box to the right of thedevice name. Press the ‹ NavigationButtons E to return the blinking cursor tothe far left side of the display line. You maythen retitle the device name as shown in thenext step.6. To enter the new name, press the NumericKeys H. The letters above the numberedbuttons indicate which letter or symbol willappear when the button is pressed during therenaming process. The first press of the buttonwill enter the first letter shown, subsequentpresses of the same button will change thedisplay to the other letters above that num-bered key. For example, since the first letter weneed to rename the input to HDTV Tuner is an“H”, you would locate the “H” above the “4”button, and press the button twice. The firstpress shows a “G,” the second press changesit to an “H.” Consult the table at the end ofthis section to see which characters pressing aparticular button generates.7. After you enter the first letter of the newdevice name, there are three options for enter-ing the next character:a. To enter a letter that requires a differentnumeric key to be pressed, simply press thatbutton. The cursor will automatically moveto the next position and the first letteraccessed by the new button will appear.Following our example, the next letter need-ed is a “D,” so you would press the “3”button once.b. To enter a letter that uses the same numerickey, you must first press the › NavigationButtons E to move the blinking cursorblock to the next position. Then press theNumeric Key H as required to enter thedesired letter.c. To enter a blank space, press the ›Navigation Buttons E twice. The firstpress will move the cursor to the right, andthe second press will move the cursor onemore space to the right, leaving a blankspace between the last letter and the nextone.8. Repeat Step 7 as needed to enter all theneeded letters, numbers, characters andspaces.9. When the text entry is complete, press theSet Button F. The LCD display will blinkDEVICE RENAMED three times and thenreturn to normal operation.Once a device is renamed you will see the newname on the top line of the remote’s LCD displaywhenever the Input/Device Selector 4 ispressed, or when any other command/functionbutton on the remote is pressed after the mainDevice Selector is pressed. Note that renaming adevice in the remote will not change the name ofthe input used by the on-screen menu system ofthe AVR.Notes on Renaming Devices:• To move the cursor to the right or left of thedisplay during the renaming process, press the‹/› Navigation Buttons E as required.• The table below shows the letters, numbersand characters that may be accessed by press-ing the Numeric Keys:Key Characters Key Characters1 [,],/,1 6 M,N,O,62 A,B,C,2 7 P,Q,R,S,73 D,E,F,3 8 T,U,V,84 G,H,I,4 9 W,X,Y,Z,95 J,K,L,5 0 -,.,#,0• Renaming a device changes the name of thedevice only, not any of the individual key func-tions within that device memory. To change thename of an individual device, follow theinstructions in the next section.Renaming Individual KeysThanks to the programming flexibility of the AVRremote, an individual button on the remote maybe assigned a feature or function that is differentfrom the name that appears as the factorydefault when the button is pressed. However,with the Rename Key function it is possible torename almost any button on the remote so thatwhen the button is pressed you will see a moredescriptive or appropriate name displayed.To rename a specific button on the remote, fol-low these steps. For this example, we will showyou how to rename the Tone Control Button., which is normally not used when DVD isselected so that it reads ZOOM in the remote’sdisplay.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. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation ButtonsE until RENAME appears on the bottomline of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 66.3. At the next menu screen press the ⁄¤Navigation Buttons E until RENAMEKEY appears on the bottom line of the LCDscreen, as shown in Figure 69. Press the SetButton F to continue.Figure 694. The next display screen (Figure 70) is whereyou select the device within which the key tobe renamed exists. Press the ⁄¤Navigation Buttons E until the name ofthe base device appears. In our example, sincewe want to rename a button within the DVDdevice memory, DVD should appear in theR E N A M ER E N A M E K E YR E N A M E D E V I C ET VR E N A M ER E N A M E D E V I C EM A I N M E N UR E N A M E
