Programming the Remote
4. The red LED under the
AVR Selector
will go
out, and the
Program Indicator
2
will turn
green and flash three times before it goes out.
5. When the
Program Indicator
2
goes out,
the Macro has been erased.
Volume Punch-Through
The AVR’s remote may be programmed to operate
the
Volume Control
!
and the
Mute
#
from either the TV or the AVR in conjunction with
any of the six devices controlled by the remote.
For example, since the AVR will likely be used as
the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to
have the AVR’s volume activated although the
remote is set to run the TV.
To program the remote for Volume Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the
Input Selector
4
for the unit you
wish to have associated with the volume control
and the
Mute
button
#
at the same time until
the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector
4
and note that the
Program Indicator
2
will flash orange.
2. Press the
Volume Up
button
!
and note
that the
Program Indicator
2
will stop flash-
ing and stay orange.
3. Press either the
AVR Selector
5
or the
Input Selector
4
, depending on which sys-
tem’s volume control you wish to have attached
for the punch-through mode. The
Program
Indicator
2
will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example:
To have the AVR’s volume control acti-
vated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the
Video/TV Input Selector
4
and the
Mute
button
#
at the same time.
Next, press the
Volume Up
button
!
, followed
by the
AVR Input Selector
5
.
NOTE:
Should you wish to return the remote to
the original configuration after entering a Volume
Punch-Through, you will need to repeat the steps
shown above. However, in the example above,
press the
Video/TV Input Selector
in steps one
and three.
Channel Control Punch-Through
The AVR’s remote may be programmed to operate
so that the channel control function for either the
VCR, 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 or the remote. To pro-
gram 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 Indicator
2
flashes orange.
2. Press the
Volume Down
button
!
. The
Program Indicator
2
will stop flashing and
stay orange.
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
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’s remote may be programmed to operate
so that the Transport Control Functions
L
(Play,
Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for
a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in conjunction with
one of the other devices controlled by the remote.
For example, while using and controlling the TV,
you may wish to start or stop your VCR or DVD
without having to change the device selected by
the AVR or the remote. To program the remote for
Transport Control Punch-Through, follow these
steps:
1. Press the
Input Selector
4
for the device
you wish to have the transport control associated
with and the
Mute
button
#
at the same time
until the red light illuminates, under the
Input
Selector
4
and the
Program Indicator
2
flashes orange.
2. Press the
Play
button
L
. The
Program
Indicator
2
will stop flashing and stay orange.
3. Press and release the
AVR
5
or
Input
Selector
button
4
for the device that will be
used to change the transport function. The
Program 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
L
, followed by
the
CD Input Selector
button
4
.
NOTE:
To remove the Transport 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.
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
G
at the same time until
the
Program Indicator
2
begins to flash
orange.
2. Press the
”3“
button
G
three times.
3. The red LED under the
Input Selector
4
will
go out and the
Program Indicator
2
will stop
flashing and turn green.
4. The
Program 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 Indicator
2
goes out,
the remote has been reset to the factory settings.
