Programming Combo Device Codes
Some Combo devices (e.g., TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR, etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode keys to con- trol both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you have a TV/DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code under the TV key to control the TV part and a separate code (under any other Mode key) to control the DVD part. Other Combo devices have one code that will control both parts of the device.
To set up a combo device, press the HOME key, Setup, More, Advanced, and then Device Codes as described on previous page.
Punchthrough
This feature lets you set up how various keys on the remote operate in various modes. For example, you might want the Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to ALWAYS operate your TV, no matter what mode the remote is in. Or you might want the Play, Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record keys to ALWAYS operate your VCR no matter what mode the remote is in.
Press the HOME key, Setup, More, Advanced, then Punchthrough.
Then select the device you want to set up
Punchthrough, e.g., TV.

At this screen you set how you want the Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to operate when the remote is in TV mode.
Select how you want the Channel Up/ Down keys to operate when the remote is in TV mode.
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 in 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.
