Programming AVEX R6 using Pre-Programmed Codes There are three different ways you can program your AVEX R6 using the component brand codes that are pre-programmed into the remote. One of these will work for you! • Quick Set-Up Method • Three-Digit Code Entry Method • Auto-Search Method * * * TRY THIS FIRST! Quick Set-Up Method 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: Point the AVEX R6

IF QUICK SET-UP DID NOT WORK, TRY THIS NEXT: 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. STEP 2: Once you have located the 3-digit codes for each of the components that you wish to o

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. If it did not turn off, enter the next code number from your list until it does t

If the Three Digit Code did not work, try this next: 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.

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. Continue pressing the UP (or DOWN) arrow button until you find a new code that turns off the component and makes the VOLUME or PLAY buttons respond correct

If Auto Search did not work, try this: 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.

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.

More Favorite Channels You can also use the "A, B, C and D" buttons to program favorite channels. Each button can pro- gram up to 5 favorite channels (or a total of 20 button presses), but you're not limited to using these buttons for only that. You can record any series of button presses into a macro. This is great switching video or audio sources. Here is an example of how to program a macro on the "A" button with three favorite channels. We'll use "25, 50, and 75." STEP 1: Press the device y
