13ENGLISHADVANCED FuNCTIONSaDVanceD remote controLfunctIonSThe AVR 760/AVR 660 remote control also serves as a universal remote thatmay be programmed to operate other components. Refer to the FunctionList (Table A14 in the appendix) for assistance in operating your othercomponents. The function of each button will not necessarily correspond tothe label printed on the button.The AVR 760/AVR 660 remote is a sophisticated and versatile device that iseasy to program, thanks to its menu-based system.To access the menu, press and hold the AVR Settings Button for at least 3seconds, until the remote’s Main Menu appears in its LCD Text Display.The remote’s menu is navigated using the KLM N Buttons and the OKButton. Scroll up or down to a desired menu option, and press the OK Buttonto select it.main menuProgram Device• : Used to program the control codes for a sourcedevice into the appropriate Source Selector. See Step 14 in the BasicManual for detailed instructions.Learn• : Used to “learn” control codes from a source device’s originalremote, or to delete previously learned codes for individual keys or entiredevices. See Step 14 in the Basic Manual for detailed instructions.Change Device• : Used while programming a Source Selector whenthe source device doesn’t match the Source Selector’s device type. Forexample, when the system uses two DVD players but no media server, youmay program the second DVD player’s control codes into the Media ServerSource Selector by changing its device type to DVD. See Step 14 in theBasic Manual for detailed instructions.Activity• : Used to program a sequence of up to 20 commands into one of10 activities so that the sequence may be executed by pressing only twobuttons (Activity Button and Alphanumeric Key for the specific activity).See below for detailed instructions.Punch-Through• : Used to allow transport- or channel-control of adifferent system component than the one currently being used. See belowfor detailed instructions.Rename• : Used to rename a Source Selector or key on the remote tocorrespond to its actual function. Renaming only affects informationappearing in the remote’s LCD Text Display. See Step 14 in the BasicManual for detailed instructions.Back Light• : Used to program the functioning of the remote’s back light.See below for detailed instructions.Remote Reset• : Used to reset the remote to its factory defaults,deleting all user programming. See below for detailed instructions.Exit• : Exits the remote’s Program Mode when you scroll to this option andpress the OK Button.activities (macros)Activities are used to program sequences of up to 20 commands that areexecuted with a single button press. Activities are well suited for power-onand -off commands, to send out a multidigit channel number with onebutton press, or to control another device with more flexibility than the built-in punch-through controls. Up to 11 activities may be programmed.NOTE: Use caution when programming complicated activities. It isn’tpossible to program a pause or delay before sending commands afterPower On, and the component may not be ready to respond to commandsimmediately after powering on.To program, or “record” an activity:Press and hold the AVR Settings Button for 3 seconds. The remote will1.enter Program mode, and its Main Menu will be displayed.Use the2. KL Buttons to scroll to the Activity option, and press the OKButton.Use the3. KL Buttons to select the Record Activity option, and press theOK Button.Use the4. KL Buttons to select the command button, and press the OKButton. The command button is the key the user will press to execute theactivity. Select the AVR Power On Button, the AVR Power Off Button or oneof the Alphanumeric Keys.NOTE: When one of the Alphanumeric Keys is used as the commandbutton, first press the Activity Button, then the Alphanumeric Key, toexecute the activity. When the Alphanumeric Key is pressed by itself, theactivity will not be executed. However, when the AVR Power On Button orthe AVR Power Off Button is selected as the command button, the activitywill be executed every time the programmed AVR Power Button is pressed.Use the5. KL Buttons to select the last source, and press the OK Button.This places the AVR and the remote in the desired device mode after theActivity is finished.Begin pressing the keys for the desired commands. Each command will6.appear in the LCD Display, with the source in use shown in square bracketson the left.To switch to another source, press its Source Selector. This will count as•one of the 20 commands allowed in each activity.To include the AVR Power On or AVR Power Off commands, first press•the AVR Settings Button to set the remote in AVR device mode, thenpress the desired power button.To program menu navigation, press the• N Button to make a selection,and press the M Button to return to a previous menu level. Pressing theOK Button will end the command sequence and save it as an activity,while pressing the Back/Exit Button will exit Program mode withoutsaving the activity.To end the command sequence, press the OK Button.7.Use the8. KL Buttons to select either the End Activity option or the EditTitle option, and press the OK Button.End Activity• : The activity will be saved. When the activity isexecuted, its command button, e.g., Activity 9, will appear in the LCDDisplay.
