PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
43
Programming the Remote
Channel Control Punch-Through
The AVR 5000’s remote may be programmed to
operate so that the channel control function for
either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in
your system may be used in conjunction with
one of the other devices controlled by the
remote. For example, while using and controlling
the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a
cable box or satellite receiver without having to
change the device selected by the AVR 5000 or
the remote. To program the remote for Channel
Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the
Input Selector
button
4
for the
device you wish to have the channel control asso-
ciated with and the
Mute
button
at the
same time until the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector
4
and the
Program/SPL
Indicator
2
flashes amber.
2. Press the
Volume Down
button
$
. The
Program/SPL Indicator
2
will stop flashing
and stay amber.
3. Press and release the
AVR
5
or
Input
Selector
button
4
for the device that will be
used to change the channels. The
Program/SPL
Indicator
2
will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example:
To control the channels using your TV
while the remote is set to control the VCR, first
press the
VID 1/VCR Input Selector
button
4
and the
Mute
button
at the same time.
Next, release them and press the
Volume Down
button
$
, followed by the
VID 2/TV Input
Selector
button
4
.
NOTE:
To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example
above. However, press the
VID 1/VCR Input
Selector
in Steps 1 and 3.
Transport Control Punch-Through
The AVR 5000’s remote may be programmed to
operate so that the Transport Control Functions
x
(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and
Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in con-
junction with one of the other devices controlled
by the remote. For example, while using and con-
trolling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your
VCR or DVD without having to change the device
selected by the AVR 5000 or the remote. To pro-
gram the remote for Transport Control Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the
Input Selector
4
for the device
you wish to have the channel control associated
with and the
Mute
button
at the same time
until the red light illuminates, under the
Input
Selector
4
and the
Program/ SPL Indicator
2
flashes amber.
2. Press the
Play
button
x
. The
Program/SPL
Indicator
2
will stop flashing and stay amber.
3. Press and release the
AVR
5
or
Input
Selector
button
4
for the device that will be
used to change the channels. The
Program/SPL
Indicator
2
will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example:
To control the transport of a CD player
while the remote is set to control the TV, press the
VID 2/TV Input Selector
button
4
and the
Mute
button
at the same time. Next,
release them and press the
Play
button
x
,
followed by the
CD Input Selector
button
4
.
NOTE:
To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example
above. However, press the
VID 2/TV Input
Selector
in Steps 1 and 3.
NOTE:
Before programming the remote for
Volume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through,
make certain that any programming needed for
the specific TV, CD, DVD, Cable or Satellite
Receivers has been completed.
Reassigning Device-Control
Selectors
Although any of the
Input Selectors
4
is nor-
mally assigned to the category of product shown
on the remote, it is possible to reassign one of
these buttons to operate a second device of
another type. For example, if you have two VCRs
but no cable box receiver, you may program the
CBL/SAT
4
button to operate a second VCR.
Before following the normal programming steps
for either Three-Digit entry or Auto Search code
entry, you must first reassign the button with the
following steps:
1. Press the
Input Selector
4
you wish to
reassign and the
Mute
button
at the same
time until the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector
4
and the
Program/SPL
Indicator
2
flashes amber.
2. Press the
Input
or
Video Device Selector
4
for the device, whose function you wish to
program into the reassigned button.
3. Enter the three-digit code for the specific
model you wish the reassigned button to oper-
ate.
4. Press the same
Input Selector
4
pressed
in Step 1 once again to store the selection. The
red LED under the re-assigned Input Selector will
flash three times and then go out.
Example:
To use the CBL/SAT button to operate
a second VCR, first press the
CBL/SAT Input
Selector
4
and the
Mute
button
at the
same time until the red light glows under the
CBL/SAT
4
button. Press the
VCR
4
button,
followed by the three-digit code for the specific
model you wish to control. Finally, press the
CBL/SAT
4
button again.
Resetting the Remote Memory
As you add components to your home-theater
system, occasionally you may wish to totally
reprogram the remote control without the confu-
sion of any commands, macros or ”Punch-
Through“ programming that you may have done.
To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the
original factory defaults and command codes by
following these steps. Note, however, that once
the remote is reset, all commands or codes that
you have entered will be erased and will need to
be re-entered:
1. Press any of the
Input Selector
buttons
4
and the
”O“
button
H
at the same time until
the
Program/SPL Indicator
2
begins to flash
amber.
2. Press the
”3“
button
H
three times.
3. The red LED under the
Input Selector
4
will go out and the
Program/SPL Indicator
2
will stop flashing and turn green.
4. The
Program/SPL Indicator
2
will remain
green until the remote is reset. Note that this may
take a while, depending on how many commands
are in the memory and need to be erased.
5. When the
Program/SPL Indicator
2
goes
out, the remote has been reset to the factory set-
tings.
