30 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
The A VR 135 is equipped with a powerful remote
control that will control not only the receiver’s func-
tions , but also most popular brands of audio and video
equipment,
including CD players , cassette decks , TV
sets
, cable boxes , VCRs , satellite receivers and other
home theater equipment. Once the A VR 135’ s remote
is programmed with the codes for the products you
own, it is possible to eliminate most other
remotes and
replace them with the convenience of a single
, universal
remote control.
Programming Device Codes
The A VR 135 remote is factory-programmed for all A VR
functions , as well as those of most Harman Kardon CD
changers , DVD players , CD players and cassette decks .
In addition, by following one of the methods below , you
may program the remote to operate a wide range of
devices from other manufacturers .
Direct Code Entry
This method is the easiest way to program your
remote to work with different products .
1. Use the tables in the following pages to determine
the three-digit code or codes that match both the
product type (e .g ., VCR, TV) and the specific brand
name . If there is more than one number for a
brand, make note of the different choices .
2. T ur n on the unit you wish to program into the
A VR 135 remote .
3. Press and hold both the
Input Selector e for
the product you wish to control (e .g ., VCR, TV) and
the
Mute Button at the same time. When
the red light under the
Input Selector e stays
lit and the
Program Indicator c turns amber
and begins flashing , release the buttons . It is
important that you begin the next step within 20
seconds
.
4. P oint the A VR 135’ s remote toward the unit to be
programmed, and enter the first three-digit code
using the
Numeric Keys r. If the unit turns off ,
the correct code has been entered. Press the
Input
Selector
e again, and note that the red light
will flash three times before going dark to confir
m
the entry .
5. If the device to be programmed in does NOT turn
off
,
continue to enter three-digit codes until the
equipment turns off . At this point, the correct code
has been entered. Press the
Input Selector e
again and note that the red light under the Input
Selector
e will flash three times before going
dark to confir
m the entr
y.
6. T r y all of the functions on the remote to make cer-
tain that the product operates properly . Keep in
mind that many manufacturers use a number of
different combinations of codes , so it is a good
idea to make certain that not only the power
control, but the volume , channel and transport
controls work as they should.
If functions do not
work properly
, you may need to use a different
remote code .
7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the unit off , if
the code for your product does not appear in the
tables in this manual, or if not all functions oper-
ate properly , tr y programming the remote with
the Auto Search Method.
Auto Search Method
If the unit you wish to include in the
A
VR 135’s remote
is not listed in the code tables in this manual or if the
code does not seem to operate properly , you may wish
to program the correct code using the
Auto Search
method that follows:
1. T ur n on the unit that you wish to include in the
A VR 135 remote .
2. Press the
Input Selector e for the type of
product to be entered (e .g ., VCR, TV) and the
Mute Button at the same time . Hold both
buttons until the red light under the Input Selector
e stays lit and the Program Indica tor c
turns
amber and begins flashing . The next step must
take place while the red light is on, and it must
begin within 20 seconds after the light appears .
3. P oint the A VR 135 remote toward the unit to be
programmed, and press either the
⁄
or
¤
Button
n repeatedly . Each press will send out a series of
codes from the remote’s built-in database . When
the unit being programmed turns off , stop pressing
the
⁄ / ¤
Buttons n, as that is your indication
that the correct code is in use
.
4. Press the
Input Selector e; the red light under
the Input Selector will flash three times before
going dark to confirm the entr y .
5. T r y all of the functions on the remote to make cer-
tain that the product operates . Keep in mind that
many manufacturers use a number of different
combinations of codes , and it is a good idea to
make certain that not only the power control
works
,
but also the volume
,
channel and transport
controls , as appropriate . If all functions do not work
properly , you may need to Auto-Search for a dif-
ferent code
,
or enter a code via the Direct Code
Entry method.
Code Readout
When the code has been entered using the Auto
Search method,
it is always a good idea to find out the
exact code so that it may be easily reentered if neces-
sar
y
. Y ou may also read the codes to verify which
device has been programmed to a specific Control
Selector button.
1.
Press and hold both the
Input Selector e
for the device you wish to find the code for and
the
Mute Button at the same time . The
Program Indicator c will turn amber and
begin flashing
, and the red light under the
Input
Selector
e will stay lit. Release the buttons
and begin the next step within 20 seconds .
2.
Press the
Set
Button
p.
The
Program
Indicator
c will then blink green in a sequence
that corresponds to the three-digit code , with a one-
second pause between each digit. Count the num-
ber of blinks between pauses to deter
mine the digit
of the code
. One blink is the number 1, t wo blinks is
the number 2, and so forth. T en blinks are used to
indicate a “0. ”
Example: One blink, followed by a one-second pause ,
followed by six blinks , followed by a one-second
pause , followed by ten blinks indicates that the code
has been set to 160.

Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently used
combinations of commands with the press of a single
button on the
A VR 135’s remote control. Once pro-
grammed, a macro will send out up to 19 different
remote codes in a predeter
mined sequential order
enabling you to automate the process of tur
ning on
your system, changing devices , or other common
tasks . The A VR 135’ s remote can store up to five
separate macro command sequences:
one that is
associated with the
Powe r On Button a and four
more that are accessed by pressing the
Macro
Buttons
.
1. Press the
Mute Button and the Macro
Button
to be programmed or the P
o
wer On
Button
a at the same time . An Input Selector
ef will light red, and the Program
Indicator
c will flash amber .
2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by press-
ing the button for the actual command step
.
Although the macro may contain up to 19 steps
,
each button press , including those used to change
devices , counts as a step . The
