CONFIGURING THE REMOTECONFIGURING THE REMOTE 414. Once the “old” device type has been selected, youneed to tell the remote which set of remote codesto use as a replacement for the device just selected.When the instructions shown in Figure 36 appear,press the ⁄ /¤ Navigation Button n to scrollthrough the list of device categories to find thename of the device that you wish to use. The olddevice name will remain on the left side of theLCD screen, while the replacement device list willscroll to its right. For example, press the ⁄Navigation Button n until the display screenreads TV<-VCR to have the VID 2/TV Buttontransmit the commands used to control a VCR.Press the Set Button F when the desireddevice combination appears.Figure 365. Once the new device is selected, the remainder ofthe process will select the codes for the specificbrand to be used, and for that reason they areidentical to the way a device is programmed usingmanual entry. Continue the process as outlined inthe next few steps, remembering that if the codesfor your specific device are not found you mayselect any brand and then “learn” the proper codesinto the AVR remote using the process outlined onpage 39. To begin the process, start by selectingthe brand of device, as shown in Figure 19. Pressthe ⁄ /¤ Navigation Button n until the brandname of the device you are programming into theremote appears on the lower line of the displayand then press the Set Button F.6. The next step is important, as it determines whichcodes will operate the source device or display.Point the AVR remote at the device being pro-grammed and, following the instructions shownon the remote’s LCD Information Display 2,press and release the Numeric Keys A one ata time, starting with the “1” button. After you pressthe “1” Button A the remote’s LCD screen willbriefly go blank as the code is being transmitted,but you will see the “transmit” icon in the upperright corner of the display to serve as confirmationthat the remote is sending out commands.7. After you press and release the number key, watchthe device being programmed to see whether itturns off. As shown in the instructions that willappear on the next menu screen (Figure 21),press the Set Button F, and then skip toStep 9. If the unit does not turn off, proceed tothe next step.8. If the device being programmed into the AVRremote does not turn off after you have pressedthe “1” key, continue Steps 6 and 7 by pressingthe available numeric keys shown until the deviceturns off. If the device still does not turn off after allchoices have been tried, the code for this specificdevice is not in the AVR remote library under thatbrand name. If that is the case, we suggest thatyou press the Set Button F to accept thecodes from another brand so that the program-ming is completed, but remember that you willthen have to program the remote manually byfollowing the Learning Commands instructions onpage 39.9. When the device being programmed does turn offafter a numeric key has been pressed, you mustpress the Set Button F within five seconds toenter the setting into the remote’s memory. Afteryou press the Set button, the top line of the LCDdisplay will read SAVING... and then the wordSAVED will flash four times in the center of thebottom line.10. When the codes are saved the remote will returnto normal operation, and whenever you pressthe Input Selector Button 3 that was just pro-grammed, the display will show the original devicetype code at the far left side of the display, with thename of the new code set type in brackets. Forexample, the display will read TV<-VCR in ourexample of replacing the TV codes with thosefor a VCR.Macro ProgrammingMacros enable you to easily repeat frequently usedcombinations of multiple remote control commandswith the touch of a single button. Once a macro isprogrammed you may send up to 20 commands withone press of the Power On or Macro buttons. This willgreatly simplify the process of turning on your system,changing devices or other common tasks. Thanksto the remote’s two-line display, it is easier than everfor you to take advantage of the power of macrocommands.Recording a MacroTo record a macro into the remote’s memory, followthese steps:1. Press and hold the Program Button y forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display 2. Release the buttonwhen the red light under the Set Button Fappears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 16),will appear in the LCD display and the Set ButtonF will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄Navigation Button D three times so thatMACRO appears on the bottom line of the LCDscreen, as shown in Figure 37. Press the SetButton F to enter the main macro menubranch.Figure 373. At the next menu screen (Figure 38) press theSet Button F to begin recording a macro.Figure 384. The next display screen (Figure 39) is where youselect the button that will be used to recall themacro. The choices are the Power On Button1 or one of the discrete Macro Buttons .Press the ⁄ /¤ Navigation Button n until thename of the button you wish to program themacro into is shown. For this example we willshow how to program a series of commands thatwill automatically be sent out every time the Powerbutton is pressed.Figure 395. The next screen that appears (Figure 40) is whereyou select the device for the first command thatwill be sent out as part of the macro. Press the⁄ /¤ Navigation Button n until the name ofthe device appears on the left side of the lowerline in the LCD display. For this example, the firstbutton we want to have the macro “press” is thePower On button, so the AVR device is selected.Press the Set Button F when the desireddevice name appears to move to the next pro-gramming step.Figure 406. The next display (Figure 41) is where you beginentering the individual commands for the macro,in the order you wish them to be transmitted.Remember that when you want to change devices,you must first press the Input Selector defor that button, and then press the Command orFunction key. Since we want to program a seriesof events that occur each time the Power Onbutton is pressed, press the AVR button. In yourspecific macro, this is the first command button.Figure 41S E L E C T A D E V I C EA V RS E L E C T A D E V I C EA V RR E C O R D A M A C R OP O W E R O NM A C R OR E C O R D A M A C R OM A I N M E N UM A C R ON E W D E V I C E T Y P ET V < - V C R
