Programming the Remote
4.The next display screen (Figure 47) is where you select the macro to be read. Press the
⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil the name of the macro you wish to read appears. For this example, we will read back the Power On macro created in the previous section. When the name of the macro to be erased appears, press the Set Button F.

5.As soon as the Set button is pressed, the first two steps in the macro will be appear in the remote’s LCD screen. You may then use the
⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Eto step up or down through the list of commands stored as the macro. As you read the display, you will see Device Selector Buttons 45 appear in brackets, (e.g., [AVR]). When the step in the macro is a function, navigation or any other button, it will appear next to the bracketed read-out of the underlying device (e.g., [AVR] POWER ON).
6.When you are finished reviewing the macro’s contents, press the Set Button Fto return the remote to normal operation.
Punch-Through Configuration
Punch-through is a capability of the remote that allows the Volume controls, Channel Up/Down buttons or Transport keys (Play, Stop, Record, Fast Forward and Reverse, and Skip Up/Down) to link to a different device. For example, if your TV, cable box or satellite receiver is connected through the AVR you will most likely want to use the AVR’s volume control commands even when the remote has been set to issue all other com- mands for the video device. “Punch-through” enables you to easily program the remote to do this.
Volume Punch-Through
Follow these steps to enable the Volume Up/Down and Mute controls from one device to be used when the remote is otherwise pro- grammed for a different device.
Note for Volume Punch-Through:
The remote’s default settings are for the AVR’s volume controls to be used when any input or device is selected with the exception of the VID 2/TV button. There is no need to program the remote for volume punch-through for the AVR’s controls with other sources, such as DVD. To have the AVR’s volume commands used when the TV device is selected, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button F appears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 16), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in
red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons
Euntil PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 48. Press the Set Button Fto enter the main punch-through menu branch.

4.The next display screen (Figure 50) is where you select the device that will receive the punch-through commands. In our example, that is the VID 2/TV button, as that is where we want the AVR’s volume controls to be active. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil the name of the base device appears and then press the Set Button F.

5.At the next display screen (Figure 51), you will select the device whose Volume Up/Down and Mute commands will be used. Press the ⁄¤
Navigation Buttons Euntil the desired device’s name appears to the right of the device in use. In our example, that is the AVR (indicated by AVR). When the desired combination of devices appears, press the Set Button F.

6.When the Set button is pressed, the display will change to show you that the new combi- nation of control commands is being saved to the unit’s memory, as shown in Figure 52. The word SAVED will flash four times and then the remote will return to normal operation.

Returning the Volume Control Settings to Default Operation:
If you wish to remove the Volume punch-through so that the commands for Volume and Mute are returned to the factory default setting, follow the
steps shown above, except that in Steps 4 and 5, select the same device for both the DEVICE IN USE on the left side of the bottom line and the PUNCH-THROUGHdevice. In the example used, the display to return the remote to default set- tings will appear as shown in Figure 53.

Channel Punch-Through
Channel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Down buttons to send commands to a differ- ent device than the one that has been selected for other commands. For example, you may wish to use a cable box or satellite receiver as the source for a VCR, so you would want the
Channel Up/Down Selectors to transmit commands to the cable box even though the other button commands are programmed to operate the VCR.
To program the AVR for Channel punch-through, follow these steps. This example will show how to program channel punch-through so that the commands programmed for Channel Up/Down for the VID 3/ Cable device will be transmitted when the VID 1/VCR device has been selected as the current device.
1. Press and hold the Program Button for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the but- ton when the red light under the Set Button
Fappears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 16), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 48. Press the Set Button Fto enter the main punch-through menu branch.
3.At the next menu screen, press the ⁄¤
Navigation Buttons Euntil CHANNEL appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 54. Press the Set Button
Fto begin programming the remote for Channel punch-through.

4.The next display screen (Figure 55) is where you select the device that will receive the punch-through commands. In our example, that is the VID 1/VCR button, as that is where we want the cable box’s channel controls to be active. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil the name of the base device appears and then press the Set Button F.
