Assigning the AUX Key

To program the AUX key, you must first assign it to a device type.

1.Press and hold the AUX key. The POWER key turns on.

2.While holding down the AUX key, press and release the number key on the keypad for the device you want to control (the POWER key turns off):

Additional TV	press 1
VCR or DVR	press 2
Additional DVD	press 3
Additional audio device	press 4
Additional satellite receiver,	press 5
cable box, or DTV converter

3.Release the AUX key. The POWER key blinks four times and then turns off. The AUX key is now set to control the device type you selected.

4.Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or manual code search to program the AUX key.

Reassigning the DVD•VCR Key to Control a VCR

The DVD•VCR key defaults to control a DVD player. If you want the DVD•VCR key to control a VCR, you must reassign it.

1.Press and hold the DVD•VCR key. The POWER key illuminates. Keep holding down the DVD•VCR key.

2.While holding down the DVD•VCR key, press and release the number 2 key on the keypad. The POWER key turns off.

3.Release the DVD•VCR key. The POWER key blinks four times and then turns off. The DVD•VCR key is now set to control a VCR.

4.Follow the directions in the auto, brand, direct entry, or manual code search to program the DVD•VCR key for your VCR.

Volume Punch-Through

Volume Punch-Through allows the VOL and MUTE keys, when pressed in SAT•CBL•DTC or DVD•VCR modes, to “punch through” to either TV or AUDIO, whichever was accessed last. Volume Punch-Through occurs automatically and allows you to control the volume without exiting the current mode. (If the AUX key has been programmed with a TV or AUDIO code, volume can punch through to these devices as well.)

Note: Volume Punch-Through does not occur in cases where the component code has its own volume/mute controls, such as some satellite receivers.

Advanced Punch-Through

Volume punch-through as described above occurs automatically. Advanced punch-through lets you specify one device for all volume commands for each non-audio mode (SAT•CBL•DTC or DVD•VCR). You can specify either the TV or AUDIO device (or an AUX key operating a TV or Audio device).

1.Press and hold the key whose volume commands you want to send to the TV or audio device. The POWER key turns on.

2.While holding down the device key, press and hold the VOL up key. The POWER key turns off.

3.After holding down both keys for 3 seconds, the POWER key turns on and stays on. Release both keys.

4.Press and release the device key you want the Volume Punch-Through to be directed to from the selected mode (TV, AUDIO or AUX key). The POWER key flashes.

Note: The device key pressed in step 4 must be programmed with a TV or AUDIO component. If an invalid key is pressed, the POWER key flashes four times, then turns off.

Important: Once you have programmed any device with a specified Volume Punch-Through, the Volume Punch-Through for all other devices defaults to AUDIO. If you do not want other components’ Volume Punch-Through to default to AUDIO, you must manually program them, using steps 1-4.
