Learning Codes
In addition to using codes from the
remote’s internal code library, the
AVR580’s remote is able to “learn”codes
from remotes that may not be in the code
library. Also, you may use this function
to “learn over” the codes from a prepro-
grammed device to add functions not
included in the preprogrammed codes.
To learn or transfer codes from an IR
remote to the AVR580’s remote, follow
these steps:
1. Place the front of the original remote
with the code being sent so that it is
facing the IR Transmitter Window
bon the AVR580 remote “head-to-
head.” The remotes should be between
one and three inches apart.
2. Select the button on the remote that
you wish to use as the device selector
for the codes about to be entered.
This may be any of the Input
Selectors e.
3. Press the Input Selector ebutton
chosen and the Learn Button
at the same time. Hold these buttons
until the Program/SPL Indicator c
flashes amber and the light under the
device selector button turns red.
Release the buttons.
4. Press the button on the AVR580
remote that you wish to program. The
Program/SPL Indicator cwill
stop flashing.
5. Within five seconds, press and hold
the button on the original remote that
you wish to “teach” into the AVR580
remote. When the Program/SPL
Indicator cturns green three
times, release the button. The Program
Indicator will then begin to flash
amber again.
NOTE: If the Program/SPL Indicator
cturns red during Step 5, the pro-
gramming was not successful. Repeat
the steps to see whether the code
will “take.”
6. Repeat Steps 4 through 6 for each
button on the source remote that you
wish to transfer to the AVR580 remote.
7. Once all codes have been transferred
from the original source remote to the
AVR580 remote, press the Learn
Button .
8. Repeat Steps 1 through 7 for any addi-
tional remotes you wish to “teach”
into the AVR580 remote.
Erasing Learned Codes
The AVR580’s remote allows you to
remove or erase the code learned into
a single button for a single device, to
remove or erase the code set for all the
codes that have been programmed into
specific device buttons, or to erase all
commands that have been learned to all
devices.
To erase a single learned code from within
a single device’s settings, follow these
steps:
1. Press and hold both the Input Selector
ewithin which the individual button
to be erased has been programmed and
the Learn Button .
2. When the LED under the Input
Selector turns red and the Program/
SPL Indicator cflashes amber,
release the buttons.
3. Press and release the Input Selector
eagain for the device within which
the individual button to be erased has
been programmed.
4. Press the 7Button rfour times.
5. Press and release the individual button
for which the code is to be erased. The
Program/SPL Indicator cwill blink
green two times and then return to
amber.
6. To erase other buttons within the same
device, press them as described in
Step 5.
7. When all buttons to be erased have
been pressed, press the Learn Button
to complete the process.
To erase all codes within a single device,
follow these steps:
1. Press and hold both the Input Selector
efor which you wish to erase the
codes and the Learn Button .
2. When the LED under the Input
Selector turns red and the Program/
SPL Indicator cflashes amber,
release the buttons.
3. Press and release the Input Selector
eagain for the device whose codes
you wish to erase.
4. Press the 8 Button rfour times.
5. The Program/SPL Indicator cwill
turn off and the red light under the
Input Selector will flash on and off
once to indicate that the codes have
been erased.
To erase all codes that have been pro-
grammed to all devices in the remote,
follow these steps:
1. Press any Input Selector efor
which you wish to erase the codes and
also the Learn Button .
2. When the LED under the Input
Selector turns red and the Program/
SPL Indicator cflashes amber,
release the buttons.
3. Press and release the Input Selector
eagain for the device whose codes
you wish to erase.
4. Press the 9Button rfour times.
5. The Program/SPL Indicator cwill
turn off and the red light under the
Input Selector will flash on and off
once to indicate that the codes have
been erased.
Macro Programming
Macros enable you to easily repeat
frequently used combinations of com-
mands with the press of a single button
on the AVR580’s remote control. Once
programmed, a macro will send out up to
19 different remote codes in a predeter-
mined sequential order, enabling you to
automate the process of turning on your
system, changing devices, or other com-
mon tasks. The AVR580’s remote can
store up to five separate macro command
sequences: one that is associated with
the Power On Button aand 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
aat the same time. An Input
Selector ef will light red, and
the Program/SPL 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/SPL Indicator
