AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 9 Programming AVEX R6 using Pre-Programmed Codes There are three ways you can program your AVEX R6 using the component brand codes that are preprogrammed into the remote. • Quick Set-Up Method • Three-Digit Code Entry Method • Auto-Search Method The Quick Set-Up Method is a unique new feature that enables the fastest and easiest set-up by using one-digit codes for up to 10 major brands for each component.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 10 Three-Digit Code Set-Up Method STEP 1: Find the 3-digit code numbers assigned to your brand from the lists in the back of this manual. The codes are listed by component category (i.e., TV, VCR, DVD, etc.), then by brand name. For instance, if you would like to locate a code for a Sony television, first locate the TV category and then look for the Sony brand.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 11 STEP 5: Point the AVEX R6 toward the component (in this example the TV) and punch in the first 3-digit code that you wrote down for that specific component. Use the Number buttons 0~9 on the remote to punch in the code. The TV LED light will blink each time a number is pressed. NUMBER BUTTONS If the 3-digit code number you just punched in is the correct number, the component you are trying to program will turn off.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 12 Auto-Search Method The Auto-Search Method is a way you can scan through all of the codes in the table to find the right code for your component. STEP 1: Manually or using your old remote, turn on the component you want to program—for example, to program your TV, turn on your TV set. STEP 2: On the AVEX R6, press the Component button that you want to program (in this case the button that says TV) and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 13 STEP 4: Once you have found the right code number and the component has turned off, press the POWER button on the AVEX R6 remote to turn the component back on. Next test the VOLUME and CHANNEL buttons (or PLAY and STOP buttons for VCR and DVD) to make sure they all work. If any of the buttons do not work properly, you need to find a new code.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 14 Programming AVEX R6 using the Learning Method STEP 1: Line up the AVEX R6 to the remote control you want to ‘learn’ from, head--to--head as shown below. Make sure the heads are one to two inches apart. STEP 2: On the AVEX R6, press the Component button that you want to program (in this case the button that says TV) and the ENTER [ENT] button at the same time. Hold down both buttons for 2 seconds until the TV Component button light turns on.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 15 STEP 5: Once the AVEX R6 has learned all the buttons in the selected component mode, press and hold the Component button and ENTER [ENT] buttons at the same time to save the learned functions. The component LED light will blink three times to confirm the programming. Now test all the buttons to make sure they learned correctly. Repeat Steps 1-5 to program any other component modes.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 16 Finding a Component’s Set-up Code Number If you used the Auto--Search or Learning Methods to program a component, you may not know the code number you programmed. Here is a way for you to identify what that code number is, so you can make a note in the back of this Manual for future reference. STEP 1: Press the component button you would like to verify and the SELECT [SEL] button at the same time for 2 seconds until the selected component LED light turns on.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 17 Programming Special Advanced Features Programming Multi-Commands to Macro Buttons The AVEX R6 has six Macro buttons (POWER, SYSTEM OFF, A, B, C, D) that are designed to store up to 20 commands in each button. Pressing any one of the Macro buttons will send out the series of commands that are stored in that particular button. MacroPower™ Total System On/Off MacroPower makes several devices work together by pressing one button.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 18 IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform the next step while you are in programming mode.

STEP 2: Press the component button you want to turn on and then the POWER button; repeat for all other components in the order you want them to turn on.
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 19 Notes regarding programming multi-commands to Macro buttons: • You can program up to 20 commands on each Macro button. • You can program delays in between commands by pressing the PAUSE button. Each press adds a one-half second delay. • Also, if you add the delay time as the first step of Macro commands, the remote will not send the Macro unless the button is held for two seconds. (This is the Press & Hold Function).
AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 20 Programming ‘My Favorites’ - Favorite Channel Buttons In Cable mode, the A, B, C, D buttons are also designed to serve as dedicated Favorite Channel buttons.
