CONFIGURING THE REMOTECONFIGURING THE REMOTE 39or too old, and thus not all of its commands will be inthe code library. You may fill in the codes for any buttonthat does not operate properly by using the learningtechnique shown on page 39.Automatic Code EntryIn addition to manual code selection using the brandname list, it is also possible to automatically searchthrough all the codes that are stored in the AVR remote’slibrary to see whether a device will respond even if itis not listed among the brands that appear when youprogram the remote manually. To automatically searchthrough the codes that are available for a specific devicetype (e.g., DVD, VCR), follow these steps:1. Turn on the power to the device you wish toprogram into the AVR remote. This is important,as in a later step you will need to see whether thedevice turns off to determine whether the remote hasbeen programmed for the proper remote codes.2. Press and hold the Program Button y forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 16 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display c. Release the buttonwhen the red light under the Set Button pappears.3. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 16)will appear in the LCD display and the Set Buttonp will remain illuminated in red. Press the SetButton p to begin the process of selecting adevice and locating the proper remote codes.4. SELECT A DEVICE will appear in the LCD dis-play (Figure 17). Press the ⁄ /¤ NavigationButtons n to scroll through the list of devicecategories and press the Set Button p 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. At the next menu screen on the remote (Figure 18),press the ⁄ Navigation Button n so that thebottom line of the LCD display reads AUTO(Figure 22) and then press the Set Button pto enter the Automatic programming mode.Figure 226. As instructed on the next menu screen, pressthe ⁄ Navigation Button n to begin the auto-matic code search process. Your confirmationthat the remote is sending out commands is themovement of a square block across the top line ofthe LCD display screen while the bottom line readsPLEASE WAIT…. You will also see the transmiticon in the upper right corner of the LCD display’stop line to remind you that the remote is workingeven though you may not see anything happeningto the device being programmed.7. It will take a few seconds for the remote to sendout the first group of commands, after which youwill see a new display in the LCD screen, asshown in Figure 23. Following the instructions, ifthe device being programmed has not turned off,press the ⁄ Navigation Button n again tosend another group of codes. If the device beingprogrammed has turned off, skip to Step 9.Figure 238. By pressing the ⁄ Navigation Button nagain, the remote will send out a new set ofcommands. When it pauses, follow the instructionsshown in Step 7. Depending on how many codesare stored for a specific device type, you may haveto repeat this process as many as fifteen times.Remember, if the device turns off, skip to Step 9.When all the codes for the device being pro-grammed have been tried, the instruction shown inFigure 24 will appear. This means that the codesfor the product you are trying to program are notin the AVR remote library and you will have to“learn” them into the remote following the instruc-tions shown in the next section. Press the SetButton p 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 k in sequence, as instructed inFigure 23. Point the remote at the device beingprogrammed, and press the “1” Button k tosee whether the device turns back on.10. After pressing and releasing the “1” Button k,check to see whether the device has turned backon. If it has, skip to Step 12. If it does not turn off,press the “2” Button k, or the next button inthe numeric sequence if you are repeating theprocedure, as instructed by the LCD screen inFigure 25.Figure 2511. When pressing the “1” button does not turnthe device being programmed back on, repeatthe procedure by trying the remainder of theNumeric Keys k in sequence, each timepressing and then releasing the button to seewhether the new device turns back on. When itdoes, skip to the next step. However, if you try all10 numeric keys and find that the unit will not turnon, you won’t be able to use this method to pro-gram the device. Press the Clear Button j toexit the programming process. You’ll need to followthe Learning Commands instructions below to enterthe codes for this device into the AVR remote.12. When pressing one of the numeric keys in Step10 or 11 causes the device being programmed toturn back on, follow the instructions shown inFigure 23 and press the Set Button p withinfive seconds of the device turning on. After youpress the Set button, the top line of the LCD dis-play will read SAVING… and then the wordSAVED will flash four times in the center of thebottom line.13. When the codes are saved, the remote will returnto normal operation, and whenever you pressthe Input Selector Button d that was justprogrammed, the codes for the new device willbe used. If no further buttons are pressed, theremote will revert back to the default setting forAVR commands.Learning CommandsOn occasions when the AVR remote does not containthe codes for a particular product’s remote in its built-inlibrary, or when you wish to program a missing or spe-cial function into one button of a device, the AVRremote’s learning capability allows you to do that. Toteach commands from one product’s remote into theAVR remote, follow these steps:The process requires that both the device’s originalremote and the AVR remote be available. Before press-ing any buttons on either remote, place them so thatthe IR transmitter on the remote from the device to beprogrammed is facing the Infrared Lens on theAVR remote. The two remotes should be no more thanan inch apart, and there should not be any direct sun-light or other bright light source near the remotes.1. Press and hold the Program Button y forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 16 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display c. Release the buttonwhen the red light under the Set Button pappears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 16),will appear in the LCD display and the Set Buttonp will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄Navigation Button n once so that LEARNappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, asshown in Figure 26.
