Programming Combo Device Codes
Some Combo devices (e.g. TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/
VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode
buttons to control both parts of the Combo device. For
example, if you have a TV/DVD Combo, you might need
to set up one code under the
TV button to control the
TV part AND a separate code (under any other Mode
button) to control the DVD part.
VCR/DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature
This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons (i.e.
PLAY , PAUSE , STOP , FF , REWIND , and REC ) to
Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed
with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last
VCR , DVD or
DVR programmed Mode you used. Normally other
types of remotes only punch-through (from another
Mode) on the 6 VCR buttons to the device programmed
under the
VCR Mode button. This is not much use if
you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other
than VCR. For example, if you have 2 DVD, VCR or DVR
devices programmed into this remote, the last one you
accessed on the remote will be the one that has control
of the 6 VCR transport buttons when in any other
Mode. This feature will not operate if the programmed
TV, SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport
button control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc.
Volume/Mute Control and Punch-Through Feature
This remote lets you select which device Mode controls
your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is initially set
(factory default) for all device Modes programmed with
“
Visual ” codes (e.g. TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, SAT &
CABLE) and “ Audio ” codes (e.g. CD & AUDIO) to use
their own Volume/Mute control if present. If the
programmed “
Visual ” code has no Volume/Mute
operation of its own then those buttons will punch-
through control to the
TV Mode device without
needing to change to TV Mode. Please refer to the next
page for more information.
