Getting Started - Overview

Control up to 6 Components

The AVEX R6 remote control is designed to control

up to six different Audio/Video components and

operate virtually all brands of AUDIO, TV, DVD,

VCR/DVR, SAT/CABLE and AUX (Light, Music

Server, etc.) components.

Component Buttons

Once you have programmed the AVEX R6 for all

of your components, all you need to do is press a

component button and all the buttons on the AVEX

R6 will work with that component. For example,

when you press the TV component button, all the

buttons on your AVEX R6 will operate your TV.

If you press the DVD component button, all the

buttons on the AVEX R6 will operate your DVD.

Each time you press any of the buttons on the

remote, the LED light in the component button

will light up to indicate which component you

are controlling.

TV BUTTON

Learning Capability

The AVEX R6 has the ability to ‘learn’ functions from

the original remote controls of other manufacturers,

even if they are not in the Pre-programmed database.

AV-EXpertManual.qxd 7/12/07 6:41 PM Page 5

Battery Installation

Press the tab and remove the cover of the battery

compartment located in the back of your remote.

Insert the two AAA batteries (included in the pack-

age) making sure to match the positive (+) and

negative (-) symbols as shown in the diagram.

Place the cover back over the battery compartment.

Low Battery Warning

When the batteries are low and need to be

replaced the component LED will quickly blink

three times when you press the Power [ON] button.

Couch Mode

The AVEX R6 is designed to automatically turn itself

off if a button is pressed for more than 30 seconds.

This prevents battery power from being depleted

should the remote accidentally slip between the

couch cushions.

Special Advanced Features

The AVEX R6 also offers the following special

advanced features that can offer you many time-saving

conveniences:

MacroPower™ & Other Macro Buttons

MacroPower is a unique feature that enables you

to turn all your components ON or OFF, all at the

same time, simply with the press of one button.

The AVEX R6 has six Macro buttons 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 button.

‘My Favorites’ (Favorite Channels)

This is one of the most desirable features of the

AVEX R6 remote control. Once it’s set up, you can

select one of four favorite channels with the press of

one button – without the need to type in a channel

number. So, whether it’s CNN or the Food Network,

your favorite viewing spot is just one click away.

SimpleSound™ & Other ‘Punch Throughs’

SimpleSound Volume Control is a dynamic feature

that gives you total volume control over all the

components in your system, even those that do not

have their own built--in volume control, such as

TIVO, DVD and VCR... saving you the hassle and

inconvenience of constantly needing to switch

between component modes on the remote. As an

example, in order to increase the volume while

watching a DVD, you would typically have to pick

up the TV remote control to increase the volume.

With the AVEX R6, you do not even have to press

the TV component button. Once you program

SimpleSound in your DVD mode, you will

automatically have TV volume control in

DVD mode.

SimpleSound is what is called a ‘Punch Through’

feature and is not limited to volume control. It can

also be applied to Channel Control, Transport

Control, and OSD Control.

Programming AVEX R6 using

Pre-Programmed Codes

There are three ways you can program your AVEX

R6 using the component brand codes that are pre-

programmed 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. The Three-Digit Code Entry Method

allows you to set-up the AVEX R6 using 3-digit codes

for component brand names. It is also a fast and

easy way to program the remote. The Auto-Search

Method scans through all the brands in the remote

control, one at a time. It should be used when either

the Quick Set-Up or Three-Digit Code Entry Methods

do not work. * * *

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 toward the component

that you want to program (in this case the TV set) and

press and hold the component button (in this case the

TV button). While holding down the component

button, begin to press numeric keys, one number at

a time, starting from 1, continuing to 2, 3 ... 0 until

component (in this case the TV) turns off.

STEP 3: Release the component button to save the

code. The component LED light will blink three times

to confirm that the code has been stored.

Repeat the above three steps for other components.

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 operate

with your AVEX R6, write them ALL down on a

piece of paper. It’s important that you write down

all the codes listed for your brand because only

one code is going to work with your component.

STEP 3: Manually or using your old remote, turn

on the component you want to program—for exam-

ple, to program your TV turn on your TV set.

STEP 4: 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. Hold down both buttons for 2

seconds until the TV Component LED light turns on.

This signals that you are in programming mode.

IMPORTANT: You have 30 seconds to perform

the next step while you are in programming mode.

If you do not press a button within 30 seconds,

the component LED light will turn off. The remote

will exit the programming mode and you will

have to start over.
