REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The AVR 254 remote is capable of controlling 7 devices, including the

AVR itself. During the installation process, you may program the codes

for each of your source components into the remote. Each time you

wish to use the codes for any component, first press its Selector button.

This changes the button functions to the appropriate codes.

Each Source Selector has been preprogrammed to control certain types

of components, with only the codes specific to each brand and model

changing, depending on which product code is programmed. The AUX

Source Selector may be used for any of five device types: a CD player,

an HDTV set-top box, a PVD recorder used with cable or satellite televi-

sion, a TiVO

set-top box or a VCR. The device mode will depend

on the product code programmed into the AUX Source Selector as

described in the Initial Setup section. CD players use codes beginning

with a 0, 1 or 2; VCRs use codes beginning with a 3 or 4; HDTV

set-top boxes use codes beginning with a 6; PVDs use codes beginning

with a 7 and TiVO set-top boxes use codes beginning with an 8.

The remote automatically switches to the correct device mode, and

it will operate the device as described in the function list in Table A13

in the appendix.

Similarly, the CBL/SAT Source Selector automatically selects cable or

satellite television operation depending on the first digit of the product

code: 0, 1 or 2 for cable and 3 or 4 for satellite boxes.

IMPORTANT NOTE: All of the AVR 254’s audio and video

inputs are independently assignable. As explained in the Initial

Setup section, it is necessary to set up each source, which

includes selecting the inputs to which the device is physically

connected. Any device may be connected to any compatible

input and given any name (e.g. DVD or Game). The Source

Selectors’ device types may be changed. For example, the TV

Source Selector may be reprogrammed to operate a DVD player.

Most of the buttons on the remote have dedicated functions, although the

precise codes transmitted will vary depending on which source device

has been selected for operation. Due to the wide variety of functions

unique to various source devices, we have included only a few of the most-

often used functions on the remote, including alphanumeric keys, transport

controls, television-channel control, menu access and power on and off.

Please refer to the descriptions below for more specific information.

Some buttons are only used to operate the AVR, and their functions are

available at any time, even if the remote has been switched to another

device’s mode: AVR Power On and Off, Audio Effects, Video Modes,

Surround Modes, Volume and Mute. Press the AVR Settings button near

the bottom of the remote to return it to AVR mode.

Any given button may have different functions, depending on which

component is being controlled. Some buttons are labeled with these

functions. For example, the Page Up/Down Buttons are labeled for use

as Channel Up/Down Buttons when controlling a television or cable box.

See Table A13 in the appendix for listings of the different functions for

each type of component.

IR Transmitter Lens: As buttons are pressed on the remote,

infrared codes are emitted through this lens. Make sure it is pointing

toward the component being operated.

AVR Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the AVR. The

Master Power Switch on the AVR 254’s front panel must first have been

switched on.

Device Power Off Button: When the remote has been switched to

a device’s mode by pressing its Source Selector, press this button to

turn off the device.

Device Power On Button: When the remote has been switched

to a device’s mode by pressing its Source Selector, press this button to

turn on the device.

Mute Button: Press this button to mute the AVR 254’s speaker and

headphone outputs temporarily. To end the muting, press this button

or adjust the volume. Muting is also canceled when the receiver is

turned off.

AVR Power Off Button: Press this button to turn off the AVR 254.

Source Selectors: Press one of these buttons to select a source

device, which is a component where a playback signal originates, e.g.,

DVD, CD, cable TV, satellite or HDTV tuner. This will also turn on the

receiver and switch the remote’s mode to operate the source device.

The first press of the Radio Selector switches the AVR to the last-used

tuner band (AM, FM or XM). Each successive press changes the band.

Audio Effects: This button is only used to operate the AVR. Press it

to directly access the Audio Effects submenu, which allows adjustment

of the tone and other controls. Each successive press scrolls to the next

line in the menu. See the Initial Setup section for more information.

Video Modes: This button is only used to operate the AVR. Press it

for direct access to the Video Modes submenu, which contains settings

that may be used to improve the picture if necessary after you have

adjusted the picture settings using the video display or TV. Each succes-

sive press scrolls to the next line in the menu. See the Advanced

Functions section for more information.

Surround Modes: This button is only used to operate the AVR. Press

it to directly access the Surround Modes submenu. Each successive

press scrolls to the next line in the menu, or use the

⁄

Buttons

to scroll to the next line: Auto Select, Virtual Surround, Stereo, Movie,

Music or Video Game. Each menu line represents a type of audio signal,

and is set to the preferred surround mode that you manually select.

Press the OK Button when the menu line is highlighted, and the available

surround mode options for the current signal will appear. Use the

⁄

Buttons to select the desired mode, and press the OK Button to engage

it. Press the Back/Exit Button to exit the Surround Modes menu and

display the next higher menu in the hierarchy.

See the Advanced Functions section for more information on surround

modes.

Sleep Settings Button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer,

which turns off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to

90 minutes. Each successive press increases the timer by 10 minutes,

ending with the “Sleep Off” message.
