PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 27
PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
The AVR 130 is equipped with a powerful remote
control that will control both the receiver’s functions
and most popular brands of audio and video equip-
ment, including CD players, cassette decks, TV sets,
cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers and other home
theater equipment. Once the AVR 130’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, univer-
sal remote control.
As shipped from the factory, the remote is fully pro-
grammed for all AVR 130 functions, as well as those of
most Harman Kardon CD changers, DVD players, CD
recorders, CD players and cassette decks. In addition,
by following one of the methods below, you may pro-
gram 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 printed on the remote above the
Input Selector e (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. Turn on the unit you wish to program into the
AVR 130 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
Program Indicator c turns amber and
begins flashing, and the
Input Selector e turns
red, release the buttons. It is important that you
begin the next step within 20 seconds.
NOTE: Be certain that the device you are attempt-
ing to program is connected to the corresponding
input jacks. For example, you may only program
the codes for a VCR or PVR device such as a
TiVo
®
to the VID1/VCR Input Selector e,
only TVs and projectors to the
VID2/TV Input
Selector
e, only cable and satellite set-tops
to the
VID3/CBL/SAT Input Selector e, and
so forth.
4. Point the AVR 130’s remote towards the unit to be
programmed and enter the first three-digit code
number using the
Numeric Keys r. The
Program Indicator c will change to a flashing
green to indicate that a code has been entered.
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 confirm the entry.
5. If the device to be programmed into the remote
does NOT turn off, continue to enter three-digit
code numbers 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 confirm the entry.
6. Try 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 con-
trol, 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, try programming the remote with
the Auto Search Method.
Auto Search Method
If the unit you wish to include in the AVR 130’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. Turn on the unit that you wish to include in the
AVR 130 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 Indicator c
turns amber and begins flashing. Note that the next
step must take place while the red light is on, and
it must begin within 20 seconds after the light
appears.
3. Point the AVR 130 remote toward the unit to be
programmed and press either the
⁄
or
¤
Button
n. The Program Indicator c will change to
a flashing green to indicate that a code has been
entered. Each press will send out a three-digit code
from the remote’s built-in database.When the unit
being programmed turns off, release the
⁄
or
¤
Button n, as that is your indication that the cor-
rect code is in use.
4. Press the
Input Selector e, and note that the
red light under the Input Selector will flash three
times before going dark to confirm the entry.
5. Try 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 that the volume, channel and
transport controls function properly. If all functions
do not work properly, you may need to Auto-
Search for a different 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-
sary. You 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 for which you wish to find the code
and the
Mute Button at the same time.
Note that the
Program Indicator c will initally
turn amber. Release the buttons and begin the
next step within 20 seconds.
2. Press the
Set Button o.The Program
Indicator
c will then blink green in a sequence
that corresponds to the three-digit code, with a one-
second pause between digits. Count the number of
blinks between pauses to determine the digit of the
code. One blink is the number 1, two blinks indicate
the number 2, and so forth, while 10 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 10 blinks indicates that the code
has been set to 160.
