PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 53

ENGLISH

Programming the Remote

Configuring the Remote

The AVR 645 remote is factory-programmed for

all functions needed to operate the unit. In

addition, it is also preprogrammed to operate

most recent Harman Kardon DVD players and

changers, CD players and changers, CD recorders

and cassette decks. The codes for other brand

devices may be programmed into the AVR 645

remote using its extensive library of remote codes

or a head-to-head learning process for codes not

in the internal library.

Thanks to the remote’s advanced technology and

two-line LCD display, it is no longer necessary to

look up cumbersome codes when programming

the remote; following the steps outlined below,

you simply search for the brand name from the

remote’s memory. We recommend that you first

try the preprogrammed code entry method. If

that procedure is not successful, then try the

code learning method.

Preprogrammed Code Entry

The easiest way to program the AVR remote for

operation with a source device from another

brand is to follow these steps:

1. Turn on the power to the device you wish to

program into the AVR remote.This is

important, as 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.

2. Press and hold the Program Button

for

about three seconds while the message shown

in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD

Information Display

. Release the

button when the red light under the Set

Button

appears.

Figure 25

3. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure

26), will appear in the LCD display and the

Set Button

will remain illuminated in

red. Press the Set Button

to begin the

process of selecting a device and locating the

proper remote codes.

Figure 26

4. SELECT A DEVICE will appear in the LCD

display (Figure 27).

Press the

⁄¤

Navigation Buttons

scroll through the list of device categories and

press the Set Button

when the device

you wish to set the codes for appears.

For this example, we will select “TV” to enter the

codes needed to operate your TV.

Figure 27

NOTE: The codes for hard-drive recorder

products (PVR) such as TiVo and Replay are

programmed by selecting VCR as the device. For

satellite-based TiVo products, check under the

brand name of the product.

5. At the next menu screen on the remote (Figure

28) press the Set Button

to enter the

Manual mode, which means that you will

select the brand name of the device from the

list programmed into the remote’s memory.

Figure 28

6. The next menu screen on the remote (Figure

29) will show the start of the list of available

brands. Press the

⁄¤

Navigation Buttons

until the brand name of the device you

are programming into the remote appears on

the lower line of the display and then press

the Set Button

Figure 29

NOTE: If the brand name for the product you

wish to program does not appear in the list, the

codes may still be available, as some

manufacturers share codes. If the desired brand

is not listed, press the Clear Button

to exit

the programming process, and skip to the

instructions shown on page 54 for the

“Automatic” method of programming the

remote. If desired, or if the codes for your brand

are not part of the remote’s library at all, you

may still use the AVR remote to program most

infrared-controlled products by “learning” the

commands from the product’s original remote

into the AVR remote. The instructions for

Learning Commands are on page 54.

7. The next step is important, as it determines

which codes will operate the source device or

display. Point the AVR remote at the device

being programmed and, following the

instructions shown in the remote’s LCD

Information Display

, press and release

the Numeric Keys

shown on the menu

screen (Figure 30) one at a time, starting with

the “1” button. After you press the “1”

Button

, the remote’s LCD screen will

briefly go blank as the code is being

transmitted, but you will see the “transmit”

icon in the upper right corner of the

display to serve as confirmation that the

remote is sending out commands.

Figure 30

8. After you press and release the number key,

watch the device being programmed to see

whether it turns off.As shown in the

instructions that will appear on the next menu

screen (Figure 31), if your device has turned

off, press the Set Button

, and then skip

to Step 10. If the unit does not turn off,

proceed to the next step.

Figure 31

9. If the device being programmed into the AVR

remote does not turn off after you have pressed

the “1” key, continue Steps 8 and 9 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 Clear Button

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 on page 54.

10. When the device being programmed does

turn off after a numeric key has been

pressed, you must press the Set Button

within five seconds to enter the setting into

the remote’s memory. After you press the Set

button, the top line of the LCD display 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 Input Selector Button

that was just programmed, the codes for the

new device will be used. If no further buttons

are pressed, the remote will revert back to

the default setting for AVR commands.

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.
