At this screen you set how you want the Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to operate when the remote is in TV mode.
Then you select how you want the Channel Up/Down keys to operate when the remote is in TV mode.
Then you select how you want the Play, Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record keys to operate when the remote is in TV mode.
For example, here we’ve set the Volume and Mute keys to operate the TV in TV mode (i.e. Punchthrough Not Set); Chan Up/Down to operate the Cable Box; and Play, Stop, Pause, etc., to operate the DVD Player - even though the remote is in TV mode.
Here we’ve set the Volume and Mute to operate the TV; and Chan Up/Down to operate the Cable Box; - even though the remote is in DVD mode. Play, Stop, Pause, etc., will operate the DVD (i.e. Punchthrough Not Set for Play, etc.) You need to set up Punchthrough for each device you’ve set up in the remote.
I.E., you need to set up how you want the “Volume Up/Down and Mute” “Chan Up/Down” and “Play, Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record” keys to operate for each device that you have set up, i.e., for whatever mode the remote is set to.
Note also that if you want some other keys to operate in a different mode from what they normally operate in, you can “learn” the key(s). E.G. if you want you TV’s INPUT key to still switch the TV’s input when you’re in cable mode, you can learn your TV’s INPUT key under cable mode.

KidSafe
Press the HOME key, then select Setup, then select Advanced, then KidSafe.
The first time you access the KidSafe menu you are asked if you want to set up a KidSafe Code. If you select Yes, you see this screen. You enter a 4 digit code that you will easily remember, but that your Kid(s) won’t guess.
After you enter a 4 digit code and press OK you see a screen that lets you pick a new KidSafe code, i.e., change it. And/or set the group of favorites that your Kids have access to (the default group is Kids but will be grayed out if you haven’t set that group up yet).
You can press the Side Key next to Pick Favorites and choose a different favorites group that you want your Kids to have access to, e.g., any other favorites group you’ve set up.
After you’ve done this you now have the option to Turn KidSafe On. If you turn KidSafe On everything in the remote except access to the KidSafe group (and Volume/Mute keys) is
locked out. No settings can be changed, and Channel Up/ Down, and number keys don’t work.
If you try to access any other favorite group, change a setting, or access any forbidden menu, you are asked to enter the KidSafe code. You cannot continue unless you enter the correct KidSafe code. See the Troubleshooting section if you forget your KidSafe code - but don’t let your kids read this owner’s manual!
