The device you select for Volume Punch-through control must be either the TV or the AUDIO/AUX device programmed with the Audio unit. Any other selection (VCR, DVD, SAT/CBL) is denied and the LED indicator light flashes to indicate an error. The power-on default for volume control is TV Volume Punch-through.

Note: All Audio Modes take any Volume/Mute keypress commands from the Audio code, even when the TV is programmed as the Punch-through device. All other devices punch-through to the TV Volume/Mute control. When the Audio option is chosen as the Punch-through device, all modes take any Volume/Mute keypress commands from the Audio code.

To change the device that controls the VOLUME and MUTE keys Punch-through, follow these steps:

1.Press and hold the SETUP key on the rubber keypad until the LED indicator light remains on and the Main Setup Screen is shown. This process takes approximately 2-3 seconds.

2.Release the SETUP key.

3.Press and hold the device key on the rubber keypad for approximately 5 seconds (TV or AUDIO/AUX) for volume control until the LED indicator light blinks and the Main Setup Screen is shown.

4.The default volume control is now set for the mode you have chosen.

VCR Punch-through

The RCU900 punches through the six transport keys (REVERSE, PLAY, FORWARD, RECORD, STOP, and PAUSE) to VCR or DVD Mode, whichever was used most recently. Punch-through to VCR/DVD transport keys on the rubber keypad is only allowed for TV, VCR, DVD, and Cable-coded Modes.

AUX, SAT and CD/Audio are dedicated to their programmed modes.

Record Key

In the VCR and AUDIO/CD Modes (including Punch-through), the RECORD key on the rubber keypad must be pressed twice before the command is sent. This is also true if a VCR device is programmed under any other mode. The exceptions are for DVD and SAT codes, where the RECORD key transmits the command after only a single RECORD keypress.

Additional Features

Keypress Beep Feature

Your RCU900 beeps whenever a key is pressed to acknowledge the keypress. You can turn this feature on or off. The default setting is On.

To turn the Keypress Beep on or off, follow these steps:

1.Press and hold the SETUP key on the rubber keypad until the LED indicator light remains on and the touchscreen shows the Main Setup Screen. This process takes approximately 2-3 seconds.

2.Release the SETUP key.

3.Press and hold the MUTE key on the rubber keypad for approximately 5 seconds until the LED blinks and the Main Setup Screen is displayed.
