PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 

To erase all codes that have been programmed to
all devices in the remote, follow these steps:

1. Press any Input Selector

456 and

also the Learn button 

7.

2. When the red LED under the Input Selector
turns red and the Program/SPL Indicator

2

flashes amber, release the buttons.

3. Press and release the same Input Selector
456 again.

4. Press the 9 button 

H three times.

5. The Program/SPL Indicator 

2 will turn off

and the red light under the Input Selector will
flash on and off once to indicate that the codes
have been erased.

Macros enable you to easily repeat frequently
used combinations of commands with the press
of a single button on the AVR 5000’s remote
control. Once programmed, a macro will send out 
up to 19 different remote codes in a pre-deter-
mined sequential order enabling you to automate
the process of turning on your system, changing
devices, or other common tasks. The AVR’s
remote can store up to five separate macro com-
mand sequences, one that is associated with the
Power On button 

0, and four more that are

accessed by pressing the Macro buttons 

M.

1. Press the Mute button 

 and the Macro

button 

M to be programmed or the Power-

On button

0 at the same time. Note that the

latest selected Input Selector will light red,
and the Program/SPL Indicator

2 will 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

2 will flash green

to confirm each button press as you enter com-
mands.

NOTE: While entering commands for Power On
of any device during a macro sequence, press the
Mute button 

. DO NOT press the actual

Power ON button.

• Remember to press the appropriate Input
Selector button 

4 before functions are

changed to another device. This is also needed
for the AVR Selector button

5 itself, as long

as it’s not lit red and AVR functions shall be pro-
grammed.

3. When all the steps have been entered, press
the Sleep button 

9 to enter the commands.

The red light under the Input Selector
45 will blink and then turn off.

Example: To program the Macro 1

M button

so that it turns on the AVR 5000, TV and a Sat-
Receiver, follow these steps:
• Press the Macro 1 button 

M and Mute 

buttons at the same time and then release them.
• Note that the Program/SPL Indicator will
flash amber.
• Press the AVR Selector

5.

• Press the Mute

 button to store the AVR’s

power on command.
• Press the VID 2 Input Selector button 

4 to

indicate the next command is for “TV Power On.”
• Press the Mute

 button to store the TV

Power On Command.

• Press the VID 3 Input Selector button 

4

to indicate the next command is for “Sat-
Receiver Power On.”
• Press the Mute

 button to store the Sat-

Receiver Power On command.
• Press the Sleep/Channel Up button 

9 to

complete the process and store the macro
sequence.

After following these steps, each time you press
the Macro 1 button 

M, the remote will send

all Power On commands.

Erasing Macro Commands
To remove the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:

1. Press the Mute button

 and the Macro

button

M that contains the commands you

wish to erase.

2. Note that the Program/SPL Indicator

2

will flash amber, and the LED under the AVR
Selector 

5 will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround
Mode Selector/Channel Down button

A.

4. The red LED under the AVR Selector will go
out, and the Program/SPL Indicator

2 will

turn green and flash three times before it goes
out.

5. When the Program/SPL Indicator

2 goes

out, the Macro has been erased.

42 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Once the AVR5000’s remote has been pro-
grammed for the codes of other devices, press the
appropriate Input Selector

4 to change the

remote from control over the AVR5000 to the
additional product. When you press any of these
buttons, it will briefly flash in red to indicate that
you have changed the device being controlled.

When operating a device other than the
AVR5000, the controls may not correspond exact-
ly to the function printed on the remote or but-
ton. Some commands, such as the volume con-
trol, are the same as they are with the AVR5000.
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 function as the
Channel Up and Channel Down buttons when
operating most TV sets, VCRs or Sat-Receivers.

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 printed on page 44. To use those
tables, first check the type of device being con-
trolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the remote
control diagram or page 44. Note that each but-
ton has a number on it.

To find out what function a particular button has
for a specific device, find the button number on
the Function List and then look in the column for
the device you are controlling. For example, but-
ton number 54 is the Macro 2 button for the
AVR5000, but it is the “Favorite” button for
many cable television boxes and satellite
receivers. Button number 32 is the Delay button
for the AVR5000, but the Open/Close button for
CD players.

Note that the numbers used to describe the but-
ton functions at the left for the purposes of
describing how a button operates are a different
set of numbers than those used in the rest of this
manual to describe the button functions for the
AVR 5000.

Notes on Using the AVR5000 
Remote With Other Devices.
• Manufacturers may use different code sets for
the same product category. For that reason, it is
important that you check to see if the code set
you have entered operates as many controls as
possible. If it appears that only a few functions
operate, check to see if another code set will
work with more buttons.

• Depending on the brand and product type used
the functions listed in the Function List tables
may not correspond with the function the unit
reacts on the command. In these cases it’s a
good idea to edit the reaction of the unit into the
corresponding line of the table or to set up a
separate list.

• When a button is pressed on the AVR5000
remote, the red light under the Input Selector
4 for the product being operated should flash
briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for
some but not all buttons for a particular product,
it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote,
but rather that no function is programmed for
the button being pushed.

• The remote was pre-programmed with codes
for units of the latest generation, but some codes
may differ from those needed for earlier units.
When your device doesn’t react as listed in the
function list (page 44/45), let the AVR5000
remote learn the appropriate codes from the
original remote (learning codes see page 40).

The AVR5000’s remote may be programmed to
operate the Volume Control

$ and the Mute

 from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction
with any of the six devices controlled by the
remote. For example, since the AVR5000 will likely
be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you
may wish to have the AVR’s volume activated
although the remote is set to run the TV.

To program the remote for Volume Punch-
Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector

4 for the unit you

wish to have associated with the volume control
and the Mute button 

 at the same time until

the red light illuminates under the Input Selector
4 and note that the Program/SPL Indicator

2 will flash amber.

2. Press the Volume Up button 

$and note

that.the Program/SPL Indicator

2 will stop

flashing and stay amber.

3. Press either the AVR Selector

5 or the

4, depending on which sys-

tem’s volume control you wish to have attached
for the punch-through mode. The Program/SPL
Indicator 

2 will blink green three times and

then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To have the AVR’s volume control acti-
vated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector
4 and the Mute button  at the same time.
Next, press the Volume Up button 

$, followed

by the AVR Input Selector

5.

NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to
the original configuration after entering a Volume
Punch-Through, you will need to repeat the steps
shown above. However, press the Video/TV
Input Selector in steps one and three.

PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 

The AVR 5000’s remote may be programmed to
operate so that the channel control function for
either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in
your system may be used in conjunction with
one of the other devices controlled by the
remote. For example, while using and controlling
the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a
cable box or satellite receiver without having to
change the device selected by the AVR 5000 or
the remote. To program the remote for Channel
Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector button 

4 for the

device you wish to have the channel control asso-
ciated with and the Mute button 

 at the

same time until the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector

4 and the Program/SPL

2 flashes amber.

2. Press the Volume Down button 

$.The

2 will stop flashing

and stay amber.

3. Press and release the AVR

5 or Input

Selector button 

4 for the device that will be

used to change the channels. The Program/SPL
Indicator

2 will blink green three times and

then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To control the channels using your TV
while the remote is set to control the VCR, first
press the VID 1/VCR Input Selector button
4 and the Mute button  at the same time.
Next, release them and press the Volume Down
button 

$, followed by the VID 2/TV Input

Selector button

4.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example
above. However, press the VID 1/VCR Input
Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

The AVR 5000’s remote may be programmed to
operate so that the Transport Control Functions
x

(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and

Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in con-
junction with one of the other devices controlled
by the remote. For example, while using and con-
trolling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your
VCR or DVD without having to change the device
selected by the AVR 5000 or the remote. To pro-
gram the remote for Transport Control Punch-
Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector

4 for the device

you wish to have the channel control associated
with and the Mute button 

 at the same time

until the red light illuminates, under the Input
Selector

4 and the Program/ SPL Indicator

2 flashes amber.

2. Press the Play button x. The Program/SPL
Indicator

2 will stop flashing and stay amber.

3. Press and release the AVR

5 or Input

Selector button 

4 for the device that will be

used to change the channels. The Program/SPL
Indicator

2 will blink green three times and

then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To control the transport of a CD player
while the remote is set to control the TV, press the
VID 2/TV Input Selector button 

4and the

Mute button 

 at the same time. Next,

release them and press the Play button x,
followed by the CD Input Selector button
4.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example
above. However, press the VID 2/TV Input
Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

NOTE: Before programming the remote for
Volume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through,
make certain that any programming needed for
the specific TV, CD, DVD, Cable or Satellite
Receivers has been completed.

Although any of the Input Selectors

4 is nor-

mally assigned to the category of product shown
on the remote, it is possible to reassign one of
these buttons to operate a second device of
another type. For example, if you have two VCRs
but no cable box receiver, you may program the
CBL/SAT 

4 button to operate a second VCR.

Before following the normal programming steps
for either Three-Digit entry or Auto Search code
entry, you must first reassign the button with the
following steps:

1. Press the Input Selector

4 you wish to

reassign and the Mute button 

 at the same

time until the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector

4 and the Program/SPL

2 flashes amber.

2. Press the Input or Video Device Selector
4 for the device, whose function you wish to
program into the reassigned button.

3. Enter the three-digit code for the specific
model you wish the reassigned button to oper-
ate.

4. Press the same Input Selector

4 pressed

in Step 1 once again to store the selection. The
red LED under the re-assigned Input Selector will
flash three times and then go out.

Example: To use the CBL/SAT button to operate
a second VCR, first press the CBL/SAT Input
Selector

4 and the Mute button  at the

same time until the red light glows under the

4 button. Press the VCR 4 button,

followed by the three-digit code for the specific
model you wish to control. Finally, press the
CBL/SAT 

4 button again.

As you add components to your home-theater
system, occasionally you may wish to totally
reprogram the remote control without the confu-
sion of any commands, macros or ”Punch-
Through“ programming that you may have done.
To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the
original factory defaults and command codes by
following these steps. Note, however, that once
the remote is reset, all commands or codes that
you have entered will be erased and will need to
be re-entered:

1. Press any of the Input Selector buttons 

4

and the ”O“ button 

H at the same time until

the Program/SPL Indicator 

2 begins to flash

amber.

2. Press the ”3“ button 

H three times.

3. The red LED under the Input Selector

4

will go out and the Program/SPL Indicator
2 will stop flashing and turn green.

4. The Program/SPL Indicator 

2 will remain

green until the remote is reset. Note that this may
take a while, depending on how many commands
are in the memory and need to be erased.

5. When the Program/SPL Indicator 

2 goes

out, the remote has been reset to the factory set-
tings.
