Channel Control Punch-Through
The AVR 3500’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 3500 or the remote.

Resetting the Remote Memory
As you add components to your home-theater sys-
tem, occasionally you may wish to totally repro-
gram the remote control without the confusion of
any commands, macros or ”Punch-Through“ pro-
gramming 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.
