46 CONFIGURING THE REMOTE

The AVR 7300 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 7300 remote using its

extensive library of remote codes or a head-to-head

learning process for codes not in the internal library.

Programming Remote Codes

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 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 pro-

gram 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 y for

about three seconds while the message shown

in Figure 21 appears in the remote’s LCD

Information Display c. Release the button

when the red light under the Set Button q

appears.

Figure 21

3. The remote’s MAIN MENU message

(Figure 22), will appear in the LCD display and

the Set Button q will remain illuminated

in red. Press the Set Button q to begin

the process of selecting a device and locating

the proper remote codes.

Figure 22

4. SELECT A DEVICE will appear in the LCD

display (Figure 23). Press the

⁄

Navigation

Button o to scroll through the list of device

categories and press the Set Button q 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 23

NOTE: The codes for both stand-alone and satellite-

based hard-drive recorder products (PVR) such as TiVo

and Replay TV

are found regardless of their brand by

selecting VCR as the device.

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

24), press the Set Button q to enter the

Manual mode, which means that you will select

the brand name of the device from the list pro-

grammed into the remote’s memory.

Figure 24

6. The next menu screen on the remote (Figure 25)

will show the start of the list of available brands.

Press the

⁄

Navigation Buttons o until

the brand name of the device you are program-

ming into the remote appears on the lower line of

the display and then press the Set Button q.

Figure 25

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 j to exit the programming process,

and skip to the instructions shown on page 47 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

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 47.

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 pro-

grammed and, following the instructions shown in

the remote’s LCD Information Display c,

press and release the Numeric Keys k shown

on the menu screen (Figure 26) one at a time,

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

“1” Button k, 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 26

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 27), if your device has turned off, press

the Set Button q, and then skip to Step 10. If

the unit does

not

turn off, proceed to the next step.

Figure 27

9. If the device being programmed into the AVR

remote does

not

turn off after you have pressed

the “1” Button k, repeat Steps 7 and 8 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 j to 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 47.

10. When the device being programmed does turn off

after a numeric key has been pressed, you must

press the Set Button q within five seconds to

enter the setting into the remote’s memory. After

you press the Set Button q, 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 d that was just

programmed, the codes for the new device will

be used.

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 but-

tons 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. Although the AVR remote is

preprogrammed with an extensive library of codes for

many major brands, it is also possible that you may

have attempted to program a product that is too new

or too old, and thus not all of its commands will be in

the code library. You may fill in the codes for any button
