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.

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.
