Carrier
With the cursor positioned next to CARRIER, press the

¤
Navigation Button F to select the proper setting. Press the
Set Button H. NOTE: Most IR remotes used with common
source components will have a carrier, so YES should be selected
as a first test. Some cable box remotes do not use a carrier, so if
the CARRIER: YES setting doesn’t work, try changing the
setting to NO.
There are two options for programming IR codes:
PROGRAM:
This option uses a setup screen to configure IR
commands from the onboard IR code library. This method will
be effective for programming most devices.
LEARN: This option allows individual buttons to be programmed
for specific IR codes, as desired, from other IR remotes. This
method would typically be used to add a particular command that
is not included in the onboard library.
Program Code
With the cursor next to PROGRAM CODE, press the Set Button
H
. The DISC 1 CODE PROGRAM screen will appear.
If you wish to make other adjustments, press the

until the on-screen cursor is next to the desired setting
or the BACK TO MAIN ROOM SETUP line, and press the

press the
Exit Button G to exit the menu system and return
to operational mode.
Remote Control Setup
NOTE: Before proceeding in this section, all source components
connected to the rear panel of the AVR21EN MUST have IR emitters
attached to their IR eyes and the emitters must be connected to
the appropriate AVR rear panel
Control Out Jacks to complete
this setup. Additionally, any devices utilizing the DVD Changer
Interface terminals must also have an IR emitter connected to the
appropriate
Control Out Jack . The DVD Changer Interface only
provides Disc and Track data for display on the multiroom keypads.
The AVR21EN utilizes a unique control system in which the external
sources connected to the AVR rear panel (Disc 1, Disc 2, Disc 3,
AUX, VR, Cable/Sat) are not controlled directly from the
AVR21ENR1 Main Room remote. Instead, the remote outputs
proprietary Audioaccess IR commands that are recognized by
the AVR21EN and converted to the specific manufacturer’s
control codes for the external sources.
This section of the OSD setup configures IR control of the devices
controlled via the AVR21EN rear-panel
Control Out Jacks
specifically. Two other devices, TV and Game/Cam, can be
controlled directly from the AVR21ENR1 Main Room remote
and are set up in the remote itself.
The AVR21EN outputs the IR commands from its rear-panel
Control Out Jacks via IR emitters. Emitters are tiny LEDs that
get attached to the front panels of external, common-source
components, over the IR eyes, and “flash” the specific control
codes for the various devices, as prompted by the AVR.
This method allows the AVR to manage source IR control beyond
regular device control for Play, Stop, etc. It provides additional
system capabilities for functions such as power management,
to govern the on/off status of the sources and keep them in
sync with the system. It also allows selective control of multiple
same-brand, same-model components (multiple DVD players,
cable/sat receivers, etc) with what is called IR routing. This method
of setting up each source’s control codes also allows the multiroom
section of the system control the common-source components
from remote locations.
To configure the AVR21EN for source IR control, press the
Menu
Button
to bring the MAIN MENU to the screen. Press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Button F so that the cursor is pointed to the
REMOTE CONTROL SETUP line. Press the
Set Button H.
The REMOTE CNTL SETUP 1 screen will appear (
