2. Press and hold the Rem Menu Button while the message
HOLD BUTTON FOR 3 SECONDS appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display 2. Release the button when the red
light under the
Set Button H appears.
3. The remote’s MAIN MENU message 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.
4. Press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button 9 to scroll through the list
of device categories and press the
Set Button H when the
device for which you wish to set the codes appears. For this
example, we will select “TV” to enter the codes needed to
operate your TV.
5. In the next menu screen on the remote, press the
⁄
/
¤
Navigation Button 9 so that the bottom line of the LCD
reads AUTO (
Figure 90) and then press the Set Button H
to enter the Automatic programming mode.
Figure 90.
6. As instructed on the next menu screen, press the
⁄
Navigation
Button F
to begin the automatic code search process. Your
confirmation that the remote is sending out commands is the
movement of a square block across the top line of the LCD
screen while the bottom line reads PLEASE WAIT… You will
also see the transmit icon in the upper right corner of the
LCD’s top line to remind you that the remote is working,
even though you may not see anything happening to the
device being programmed.
7. It will take a few seconds for the remote to send out the first
group of commands, after which you will see a new display
in the LCD screen, as shown in
Figure 91. Following the
instructions, if the device being programmed has not turned
off, press the
⁄
Navigation Button F again to send another
group of codes. If the device being programmed has turned
off, skip to Step 9.
Figure 91.
8. By pressing the
⁄
Navigation Button F again, the remote will
send out a new set of commands. When it pauses, follow the
instructions shown in Step 7. Depending on how many codes are
stored for a specific device type, you may have to repeat this
process as many as 15n 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 in
Figure 92
will appear. This means that the codes for the product you are
trying to program are not in the AVR remote library and you
will have to “learn” them into the remote following the
instructions shown in the next section. Press the
Rem Menu
Button
as instructed to exit the programming process.
Figure 89.
9. If the device being programmed into the AVR remote does not
turn off after you have pressed the
“1” Button , repeat
Steps 7 and 8 by pressing the available numeric keys shown until
the device turns off. If the device still does not turn off after all
choices have been tried, or if there is only one number key
shown as available to try, the code for this specific device is not
in the AVR remote library under that brand name. If that is the
case, press the
Exit Button G to exit the manual programming
mode. Remember that the codes may still be stored in the
AVR remote’s library under another brand, and you can have
the remote control search for them by following the instructions
below for automatic programming. You may also manually
“learn” the codes for most devices into the AVR remote by
following the
Learning Commands instructions.
10. When the device being programmed does turn off after a
numeric key has been pressed, you must press the
Set Button
H
within 5 seconds to enter the setting into the remote’s
memory. After you press the
Set Button H, the top line of
the LCD will read SAVING… and then the word SAVED will
flash four times in the center of the bottom line.
11. When the codes are saved, the remote will return to normal
operation, and whenever you press the
TV Button 5 that was
just programmed, the codes for the new device will be used.
NOTE: Some brands share a common remote control code for
“Power Off” for many models. For that reason, it is possible that
even though the remote appears to be properly programmed, you
may find that some buttons do not appear to issue the correct
command. If this is the case, repeat the procedure outlined above,
but if more than one numeric key selection is suggested in Step 7,
try a different number to see whether the remote operates correctly.
Although the AVR remote is preprogrammed with an extensive
library of codes for many major brands, it is also possible that you
may have attempted to program a product that is too new or too
old, and thus not all of its commands will be in the code library. You
may fill in the codes for any button that does not operate properly
by using the learning technique shown throughout the following
pages.
Automatic Code Entry
In addition to manual code selection using the brand name list,
it is also possible to automatically search through all the codes that
are stored in the AVR remote’s library to see whether a device will
respond even if it is not listed among the brands that appear
when you program the remote manually. To automatically search
through the codes that are available for a specific device type
(e.g., TV, Game, Camcorder), follow these steps:
1. Turn on the power to the device you wish to program into the
AVR remote (TV, Game, Camcorder). This is important because
in a later step you will need to see whether the device turns off
to determine whether the remote has been programmed for
the proper remote codes.
