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

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 compo- nent. 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 doe

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. Hold down both buttons for 2 seconds until the TV Co
