AVR21ENR1 Remote Control
Programming the AVR21ENR1
Remote Control
To control devices such as your TV/projector, or a video game or
camcorder using the AVR21ENR1 remote control, the AVR’s remote
must be manually programmed using the remote’s built-in menu
system. The process is similar in some ways to how the common-
source components (DVD, VR, cable/satellite) are programmed
with the AVR OSD, but remote programming is done with the
remote’s menu instead.
NOTE: There are only three devices that can be configured for
direct control using the AVR21ENR1 remote. They are TV, a video
game or a camcorder. These devices will be controlled directly from
the AVR21ENR1 with their original IR codes. All other system
devices (sources) will be controlled from the control output of the
AVR21 when accessed when using the AVR21ENR1.
TV Setup
To configure the AVR21ENR1 remote to control
the Main Room TV:
1. Turn on the power to the TV. This is important, because in a
later step you will need to see whether the TV turns off to
determine whether the remote has been programmed for
the proper remote codes.
2. Press and hold the
Rem Menu Button for about 3 seconds
while the message shown in
Figure 83 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display 2. Release the button when the red
light under the
Set Button H appears.
Figure 83.
3. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 84) will appear in
the LCD, and the
Set Button H will remain illuminated in red.
Press the
Set Button H to begin the process of selecting a
device and locating the proper remote codes.
Figure 84.
4. GAME/CAM will appear in the LCD . Press the

to scroll to TV (Figure 85). Press the
Set Button H.

Manual Program
5. Press the Set Button H again to enter the Manual mode,
which means that you will select the brand name of the device
from the list programmed into the remote’s memory.
Figure 86.
6. The next menu screen on the remote (Figure 87) will show
the start of the list of available brands. Press the
⁄

¤
Navigation Buttons F until the brand name of the device
you are programming into the remote appears on the lower
line of the display and then press the
Set Button H.
Figure 87.
NOTE: If the brand name for the product you wish to program
does not appear in the list, the codes may still be available, as
some manufacturers share codes. If the desired brand is not listed,
press the
Exit Button G to exit the programming process, and
skip to the instructions shown in
Automatic Code Entry for the
“Automatic” method of programming the remote. If desired, or if
the codes for your brand are not part of the remote’s library at all,
you may still use the remote to program most infrared-controlled
products by “learning” the commands from the product’s original
remote into the AVR remote. The instructions for Learning
Commands are in the
Learning Commands section.
7. The next step is important, as it determines which codes will
operate the source device or display. Point the AVR remote at
the device being programmed and, following the instructions
shown in the remote’s LCD
Information Display 2, press and
release the
Alphanumeric Keys shown on the menu screen
(
Figure 88) one at a time, starting with the “1” button. After
you press the
“1” Button , the remote’s LCD screen will
briefly go blank as the code is being transmitted, but you will
see the “transmit” icon in the upper right corner of the display
to serve as confirmation that the remote control is sending out
commands.
Figure 88.
8. After you press and release the number key, watch the device
being programmed to see whether it turns off. As shown in the
instructions that will appear on the next menu screen (
Figure
89
), if your device has turned off, press the Set Button H,
and then skip to Step 10. If the unit does not turn off, proceed
to the next step.
