2. Enter the steps for the macro sequence by press-

ing 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 Indicator

c

will flash green to confirm each button press

as you enter commands.

NOTE:

While entering commands for Power On/Off of

any device during a macro sequence, press the 

Mute

Button

f

for the Power On command. DO NOT

press the actual Power button. Press the 

Power Off

Button

a

to program the Power Off command.

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

Sleep Button

j

Example:

To program the Macro 1 button so that it

turns on the AVR 340, TV and a cable box, follow
these steps:

• Press the

Programmed Device Functions

Once the AVR 340’s remote has been programmed for
the codes of other devices, press the appropriate 

Input

Selector

e

to change the remote from controlling

the AVR 340 to controlling the additional product. When
you press any one of the selectors, it will briefly flash in
red to indicate that you have changed the device being
controlled.

When operating a device other than the AVR 340, the
controls may not correspond exactly to the function
printed on the remote or button. Some commands,
such as the volume control, are the same as they are
with the AVR 340. 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 cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down 
indication is printed directly on the remote. For many
standard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD
functions, the standard function icons are printed on
top of the buttons.

For some products, however, the function of a particu-
lar button does not follow the command printed on 
the remote. In order to see which function a button
controls, consult the Function List tables on pages 51
and 52. To use those tables, first check the type of
device being controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at
the remote control diagram in Figure 18. Note that
each button 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, button number 46
is the Direct button for the AVR 340, but it is the
“Favorite” button for many cable television boxes 
and satellite receivers. Button number 32 is the Delay
button for the AVR 340, but the Open/Close button for
CD players.

NOTE:

The numbers used to describe the button

functions in Figure 18 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 340.

NOTES ON USING THE AVR 340 REMOTE WITH 
OTHER DEVICES.

•  Manufacturers may use different code sets for the

same product category. For that reason, it is impor-
tant that you check whether the code set you have
entered operates as many controls as possible. If
only a few functions operate, check whether another
code set will work with more buttons.
