The AVR480 is equipped with a powerful
remote control that will control both the
receiver’s functions and most popular
brands of audio and video equipment,
including CD players, cassette decks,
TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite
receivers and other home theater equip-
ment. Once the AVR480’s remote is pro-
grammed 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 the Product
Codes
As shipped from the factory, the remote is
fully programmed for all AVR480 functions,
as well as those of many CD changers,
DVD players, CD recorders, CD players and
cassette decks. 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 on pages 38–47 to
determine the three-digit code or
codes that match both the product
type printed on the remote above the
Input Selector f (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 AVR480 remote.
3. Press and hold both the Input
Selector ffor the product you
wish to control (e.g., VCR, TV) and
the Mute Button at the same
time. When the Program Indicator
cturns amber and begins flashing,
and the Input Selector fturns
red, release the buttons. It is impor-
tant that you begin the next step
within 20 seconds.
NOTE: Be certain that the device you
are attempting to program is connect-
ed 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 f, only cable and
satellite set-tops to the VID2/CBL/
SAT Input Selector f, only TVs
and projectors to the TV Input
Selector f, and so forth.
4. Point the AVR480’s remote towards the
unit to be programmed and enter the
first three-digit code number using the
Numeric Keys q. The Program
Indicator cwill change to a flash-
ing green to indicate that a code has
been entered. If the unit turns off, the
correct code has been entered. Press
the Input Selector fagain, 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
fagain and note that the red light
under the Input Selector fwill
flash three times before going dark to
confirm the entry.
6. Try all of the functions on the remote
to make certain that the product oper-
ates properly. Keep in mind that many
manufacturers use a number of differ-
ent combinations of codes, so it is a
good idea to make certain that not
only the power control, but the vol-
ume, 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 prod-
uct does not appear in the tables in
this manual, or if not all functions
operate properly, try programming
the remote with the Auto Search
Method.
Auto Search Method
If the unit you wish to include in the
AVR480’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 AVR480’s remote.
2. Press the Input Selector ffor 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 fstays lit and the
Program Indicator cturns amber
and begins flashing. Note that the
next step must take place while the
red light is on, and it must begin with-
in 20 seconds after the light appears.
3. Point the AVR480‘s remote toward the
unit to be programmed and press
either the
⁄
or
¤
Button m. The
Program Indicator cwill 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 m, as
that is your indication that the correct
code is in use.
4. Press the Input Selector f, 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 certain that the product oper-
ates. Keep in mind that many manu-
facturers 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 trans-
port controls function properly. If all
functions do not work properly, you
may need to Auto-Search for a differ-
ent 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 ffor the device for
which you wish to find the code and
the Mute Button at the same
time. Note that the Program
Indicator cwill initally turn
amber. Release the buttons and
begin the next step within 20
seconds.
2. Press the Set Button o. The
Program Indicator cwill then
blink green in a sequence that corre-
sponds to the three-digit code, with
