Programming the Learning Remote Control
The Parasound universal remote control can control up to eight different Audio/Video
components. It is preprogrammed to operate the Parasound AVC-2500 Audio Video Controller
and Parasound CD players. You can also program codes from an additional six components
under the DVD, AUX, Satellite, TV, VCR, and Cable buttons. Red LEDs located under the
under each of the device buttons and a tri-color status indicator in the top left hand corner of
the remote control provide visual feedback while programming the remote control.
The preprogrammed codes for the Parasound AVC-2500 Audio/Video Controller are
accessible by pressing the AVC button. Pressing the CD button accesses the codes for
Parasound CD players. You can program over the resident Parasound codes if you wish, but
they can be easily restored.
You can program infrared commands from another component’s original remote control
into any button under any device’s own “page” of the Parasound universal remote control.
Only the Light button cannot be programmed.
Battery life for the universal remote is approximately six months with average use. If
components become unresponsive to commands from the remote, it usually means that the
four “AAA” batteries need replacing. Leaving in weak or dead batteries could result in
losing stored codes. Be sure to reinstall the new batteries within three minutes of removing
the old ones.
Programming Codes into the Universal Remote Control
1. Place the universal remote and the donor remote face-to-face approximately three inches
apart.
2. Select the page you want to program by pressing the corresponding device button such
as DVD or VCR.
3. Press and hold down the Device button and the Mem/Enter button simultaneously, until
the amber Status LED and the red LED behind the device button both illuminate.
4. Press the button you want to store a code into until the amber LED flashes.
5. The red LED under the Device button turns off to indicate that the button is ready for
programming.
6. Press and hold down the button on the donor remote to send to the universal remote.
7. The universal remote acknowledges it is ready to store the code into memory by turning
green. Release the button on the donor remote and the amber LED will flash amber.
8. Press the same button on the donor remote. The learning remote confirms it has stored
the code by flashing the green status LED green for two seconds and returning to solid
amber. Note: Codes MUST be confirmed to be stored into memory.
9. Repeat Steps 1 through 8 for the remaining buttons to be programmed.
10. Once you have completed “teaching” new commands to buttons in the selected Device
mode, you must save the programmed information. Press and hold the device button and
Mem/Enter button simultaneously again. The amber status LED flashes twice and turns
off to indicate the commands were stored into memory.
11. Repeat steps 1-10 to program remote control codes into other pages into the universal
remote control.
Erasing a Single Command within a Page
1. Press and hold the device button and Mem/Enter buttons simultaneously until the amber
status LED and the device button turns on and remains lit.
2. Press the button that is to be erased on the universal remote control until the amber
status LED flashes continuously.
3. Press the Light button. The status LED will flash green then turn to steady amber.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for any other buttons to be erased in the selected device mode.
5. To exit, press and hold the device button and the Mem/Enter buttons simultaneously,
again. The amber status LED flashes twice and turns off and returns to normal.
