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 indi-
cate a “0.”
Example: One blink, followed by a one-
second pause, followed by six blinks, fol-
lowed by a one-second pause, followed
by 10 blinks indicates that the code has
been set to 160.

Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat fre-
quently used combinations of commands
with the press of a single button on the
AVR480 remote control. Once programmed,
a macro will send out up to 19 different
remote codes in a predetermined sequen-
tial order, enabling you to automate the
process of turning on
your system, chang-
ing devices, or other common tasks. The
AVR480 remote can store up to five sepa-
rate macro command sequences: one that
is associated with the Power On Button
d, and four more that are accessed by
pressing the Macro Buttons .
1. Press the Mute Button and the
Macro Button
to be pro-
grammed or the Power On Button
dat the same time. Note that the
last Input Selector fpressed will
light red, and the Program Indicator
cwill flash amber.
2. Enter the steps for the macro
sequence by pressing the button for
the actual command step. Although
the macro may contain up to 19 steps,
each button press, including those
used to change devices, counts as a
step. The Program Indicator c
will flash green to confirm each but-
ton press as you enter commands.
NOTE: When entering commands for
Power On/Off of any device during a
macro sequence, press the Mute
Button for a Power On com-
mand. The Power Off Button a
should be used for Power Off com-
mands.
3. When all the steps have been
entered, press the Sleep Button
ito enter the commands. The
Program Indicator cwill flash
green three times and then turn off.
Example: To program the Macro 1
Button
so that it turns on the
AVR480, TV and a Cable Box, follow
these steps:
• Press the Macro 1
and Mute
buttons at the same time and
then release them.
• The Program Indicator cwill
flash amber.
• Press the AVR Selector g.
• Press the Mute Button to
store the AVR480’s Power On
command.
• Press the TV Input Selector
Button fto indicate the next
command is to be transmitted
to the TV.
• Press the Mute Button to
store the TV Power On Command.
• Press the VID2 Input Selector
Button fto indicate the next
command is to be transmitted to
the cable box.
• Press the Mute Button to
store the Cable Power On command.
• Press the Sleep Button ito
complete the process and store the
macro sequence.
After following these steps, each time
you press the Macro 1 Button
,
the remote will send the Power
On/Off command to the AVR480, the
television and the cable box with a
single button press.
Erasing Macro Commands
To erase the commands that have been
programmed into one of the Macro but-
tons, follow these steps:
1. Press the Mute Button and the
Macro Button
that contains the
commands you wish to erase.
2. The Program Indicator cwill
flash amber, and
the LED under the
AVR Selector gwill turn red.
3.
Within 10 seconds, press the Surround
Mode Selector/Channel Down
Button j.
4. The red LED under the AVR Selector
gwill go out, and the Program
Indicator cwill turn green and
flash three times before it goes out.
5. When the Program Indicator c
goes out, the Macro has been erased.
Programmed Device Functions
Once the AVR480’s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices,
press the appropriate Input Selector f
to change the remote from controlling the
AVR480 to controlling the additional prod-
uct. When you press any one of the selec-
tors, it will briefly flash in red to indicate
that you have changed the device being
controlled.
When operating a device other than the
AVR480, the controls may not correspond
exactly to the function printed on the
remote or button. Some commands, such
as the Volume Control, are the same as
they are with the AVR480. Other buttons
will change their function so that they
correspond to a secondary label on the
remote. For example, the Sleep and
Surround mode selector buttons also func-
tion as the Channel Up and Channel Down
buttons when operating most TV sets,
VCRs or cable boxes. The Channel Up/
Down indication is printed directly on the
remote. For many standard CD players,
cassette decks, VCRs and DVD functions,
the standard function icons are printed on
top of the buttons.
For some products, however, the function
of a particular button does not follow the
command printed on the remote. In order
to see which function a button controls,
consult the Function List tables on pages
36 and 37. To use those tables, first
check the type of device being controlled
(e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote
control diagram pictured just before the
Function List tables. Note that each but-
ton has a number on it.
To find out what function a particular but-
ton has for a specific device, find the but-
ton number on the Function List and then
look in the column for the device you are
controlling. For example, button number 7
is the Macro 2 button for the AVR480, but
it is the “Favorite” button for many cable
