41PROGRAMMING THE REMOTEThe AVR580 is equipped with a powerfulremote control that will control not onlythe receiver’s functions, but also mostpopular brands of audio and video equip-ment, including CD players, cassettedecks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satel-lite receivers and other home theaterequipment. Once the AVR580’s remote isprogrammed with the codes for the pro-ducts you own, it is possible to eliminatemost other remotes and replace themwith the convenience of a single, universalremote control.Programming the ProductCodesThe AVR580 remote is factory-pro-grammed for all AVR functions, as well asthose of JBL DVD players. In addition, byfollowing one of the methods below, youmay program the remote to operate awide range of devices from other manu-facturers.Direct Code EntryThis method is the easiest way toprogram your remote to work withdifferent products.1. Use the tables in the following pagesto determine the three-digit code orcodes that match both the producttype (e.g., VCR, TV) and the specificbrand name. If there is more than onenumber for a brand, make note of thedifferent choices.2. Turn on the unit you wish to programinto the AVR580 remote.3. Press and hold both the InputSelector e for the product youwish to control (e.g., VCR, TV) and theMute Button at the same time.When the red light under the InputSelector e stays lit and theProgram/SPL Indicator c turnsamber and begins flashing, releasethe buttons. It is important that youbegin the next step within 20 sec-onds.4. Point the AVR580’s remote towardthe unit to be programmed, and enterthe first three-digit code using theNumeric Keys r. If the unit turnsoff, the correct code has been entered.Press the Input Selector e again,and note that the red light will flashthree times before going dark to con-firm the entry.5. If the device to be programmed indoes NOT turn off, continue to enterthree-digit codes until the equipmentturns off. At this point, the correctcode has been entered. Press theInput Selector e again and notethat the red light under the InputSelector e will flash three timesbefore going dark to confirm the entry.6. Try all of the functions on the remoteto make certain that the product oper-ates properly. Keep in mind that manymanufacturers use a number of differ-ent combinations of codes, so it is agood idea to make certain that notonly the power control, but the vol-ume, channel and transport controlswork as they should. If functions donot work properly, you may need touse a different remote code.7. If a code cannot be entered to turnthe unit off, if the code for your prod-uct does not appear in the tables inthis manual, or if not all functionsoperate properly, try programmingthe remote with the Auto SearchMethod.Auto Search MethodIf the unit you wish to include in theAVR580’s remote is not listed in the codetables in this manual or if the code doesnot seem to operate properly, you maywish to program the correct code usingthe Auto Search method that follows:1. Turn on the unit that you wish toinclude in the AVR580 remote.2. Press the Input Selector e for thetype of product to be entered (e.g.,VCR, TV) and the Mute Buttonat the same time. Hold both buttonsuntil the red light under the InputSelector e stays lit and theProgram/SPL Indicator c turnsamber and begins flashing. The nextstep must take place while the redlight is on, and it must begin within 20seconds after the light appears.3. Point the AVR580 remote toward theunit to be programmed, and presseither the ⁄ or ¤ Button n. Eachpress will send out a series of codesfrom the remote’s built-in database.When the unit being programmedturns off, release the ⁄ /¤ Buttonn, as that is your indication that thecorrect code is in use.4. Press the Input Selector e; thered light under the Input Selector willflash three times before going dark toconfirm the entry.5. Try all of the functions on the remoteto make certain that the product oper-ates. Keep in mind that many manu-facturers use a number of differentcombinations of codes, and it is agood idea to make certain that notonly the power control works, but alsothe volume, channel and transportcontrols, as appropriate. If all func-tions do not work properly, you mayneed to Auto-Search for a differentcode, or enter a code via the DirectCode Entry method.Code ReadoutWhen the code has been entered usingthe Auto Search method, it is always agood idea to find out the exact code sothat it may be easily reentered if neces-sary. You may also read the codes toverify which device has been programmedto a specific Control Selector button.1. Press and hold both the InputSelector e for the device whosecode you wish to find and the MuteButton at the same time. TheProgram/SPL Indicator c willturn amber and begin flashing, andthe red light under the InputSelector e will stay lit. Releasethe buttons and begin the next stepwithin 20 seconds.2. Press the Set Button p. TheProgram/SPL Indicator c willthen blink green in a sequence thatcorresponds to the three-digit code,with a one-second pause betweeneach digit. Count the number of blinksbetween pauses to determine the digitof the code. One blink is the number 1,two blinks is the number 2, and soforth. Ten blinks are used toindicate a “0.”Example: One blink, followed by a one-second pause, followed by six blinks, fol-lowed by a one-second pause, followedby ten blinks indicates that the code hasbeen set to 160.For future reference, enter the setupcodes for the equipment in your systemhere:DVD ____________ CD____________VID1/VCR ________ VID2/SAT ____VID2/CBL ________ VID3/TV ______VID4 ____________ TAPE ________434343
