6. REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION continued …
To Engage Volume Lock for MAIN:
1. Press and hold LEARN until the LED flashes twice.
2. Press 9, 9, 3.
3. Press MAIN.
At this point, the Volume and Mute buttons now control MAIN, no matter which of the eight
Zone/Path/Component selections the Remote Control is in. However, since this may not be desirable, any
individual Zone/Path/Component selection can be unlocked.
To Disengage Volume Lock for ZONE2, and re-engage the ZONE2 Volume Control:
4. Press ZONE2.
5. Press and hold LEARN until the LED flashes twice.
6. Press 9, 9, 3.
7. Press VOL .
The Volume and Mute keys now control MAIN for every Zone/Path/Component selection except for ZONE2.
You may continue to unlock other Zone/Path/Components one at a time. To unlock all Zone/Path/Components
at once and restore the default setting, press VOL+ instead of VOL in step 7.
6.7.4 LEARNING FUNCTION
The AVM 2 Remote Control has the ability to learn the command of an individual key from almost any other
remote control. When a new command is programmed onto a key, the original command is still available by
pressing LEARN before pressing the key. We’ll call this the Layer-1 method.
If the original command of a particular key is used more than the learned command, it might be better to
program the learned command in Layer-2. This means that when a taught key is pressed, the original
command functions as always, and the learned command is accessed by pressing LEARN before pressing
the key. In essence, this is the reverse of the Layer-1 method.
The learned commands are retained in the Zone/Path/Component selection into which they were
programmed. For instance, if the 3456 navigation keys are programmed into the DVD selection,
they won’t perform the learned command if another Zone/Path/Component is selected.
Limitations on Learning
Before getting to the learning procedure, please read these limitations so that success can be optimized:
• Some codes are not learnable. This includes multi-frequency codes, some high frequency codes,
and other unusual formats.
• All keys, with the exception of the Zone/Path/Component keys and LEARN, can be taught.
• Typically, the memory allows up to 24 keys to be taught.
• The Remote can learn only one code per key. It can not be taught a sequence of several keystrokes
on one key.
• In general, we recommend that you do not teach the Record key. The Record key, almost always,
requires a double key press (Rec+Pause or Rec+Play). The double key press will be lost when the
Record key is involved in most learning operations. This lack of consistency does not always allow
for proper function and is best avoided.
• During a learning event, the Source Remote and the AVM 2 Remote should be 1 to 2 inches apart,
and the IR transmitters of the two Remotes should be aligned with each other.
