[. . . ] Loading Batteries The life of the batteries for the remote control is about one year in normal operation. If the amber Sending indicator does not flash when remote buttons are pushed, that is an indication that the batteries need to be replaced. Remove the back cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrows. 3. Close the cover until it clicks shut. Remote Programming Programmable Keys Many of the buttons on the remote control may be user programmed to new functions to operate virtually any component in your system. Eleven CANNOT be programmed with a new code, as they control high-level functions of the AVR55. These keys are Main Power ON, Main Power OFF, and the source input keys: TV, DVD, VID 1, VID 2, Phono, CD, Tape 1, Tape 2 . Programmable keys are divided into two groups. Some keys may be programmed with a separate function for each of the inputs. Thus, these keys may change their code when the input source is changed. (e. g. , The Play key may transmit a different code when CD is selected as opposed to when VCR is selected. ) The keys that may be programmed with multiple codes are the following: All Numeric Keys (0 ­ 9) Forward Play fl Source Power On Reverse Play fi Source Power Off Stop Í Preset Disc Record Î Preset Disc  Pause ± Channel/Skip · Channel/Skip Tune/Search -- Memo Tune/Search , P-Scan NOTE: It is important that the batteries be replaced within ten minutes after the old batteries are removed to avoid losing any remote codes that have been programmed into the remote's memory. Remote Control Range The remote will operate at a range of up to 15 feet from the unit, when the batteries are fully charged. The remote will also operate at an angle of up to 30° to either side of the unit. 2. Remove the old batteries and insert fresh AAA type cells. Be certain to observe the correct polarity by noting the (+) and (­) marks on both the inside of the case and on the battery cells. It is recommended that both batteries be changed at the same time. Always point the remote transmitter at the front of the unit when issuing commands. If you find that remote commands are not being received by the remote, it may be necessary to use a remote IR sensor. Remote Control Programming and Operation 19 All other keys may only be programmed with one remote code. The code contained in these keys remains the same regardless of the source selection. WARNING: These keys transmit codes that are vital to the operation of the product. It is not recommended that they be programmed with alternative codes, as it may then be impossible to operate certain functions of the receiver. Night Delay RF Opt Coax Select All Mode Selectors 1. Slide Use/Learn a switch at the top left corner of the remote to the right so that it is next to Learn. If one of the multifunction buttons is being programmed press the source button (e. g. CD, VID 1) you wish to have this function associated with. [. . . ] · To manually tune through the list of stored preset stations one by one, press the Preset/Disc Skip buttons s on the remote. · To automatically scan through the stations entered in the preset memory, press the P. Scan button v on the remote. The tuner will run through the list of preset stations, stopping for five seconds at each one. Press the P. Scan button again to stop the scan at your desired station. Video Recording The AVR55 permits you to make a video recording from one of the input sources while another source is being listened to through the unit's main amplifiers. [. . . ]
