•• Edit Title: You may name the activity, e.g., All Power Off. When the activity is executed, its name will appear in the LCD Display. When this option is selected, the cursor will flash. Type the title for the activity using the Alphanumeric Keys. Each Alphanumeric Key has the characters available in addition to its number printed above the key. Each press of the key scrolls through the available characters. To move to the next character, either press the N Button, or press the next desired Alphanumeric Key. Press the OK Button when you have finished.

Punch-Through Programming

The punch-through feature allows you to operate one component, while setting certain groups of controls to operate another component. For example, while using the AVR controls for surround modes and other audio functions, you may operate the transport controls of your DVD player. Or while using the remote to control video functions on your TV, you may use your cable box to change channels.

To program punch-through control while operating any device:

1.Press and hold the AVR Settings Button for 3 seconds. The remote will enter Program mode, and its Main Menu will be displayed.

2.Use the KL Buttons to scroll to the Punch-Through option, and press the OK Button.

3.Use the KL Buttons to select either Channel or Transport control, and press the OK Button.

4.Use the KL Buttons to scroll to the device in use, and press the OK Button. For example, to change channels using the cable or satellite set- top box while using the remote to operate the TV, select the TV source in this step.

5.Use the KL Buttons to select the punch-through device (CBL/SAT in the example given in step 4), press the OK Button, and the Punch-Through programming will be saved.

To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, but select the same Source in Steps 4 and 5.

NOTE: The Volume and Mute controls are always dedicated to the AVR.

Back Light

In both modes, the back light will remain on for 5 seconds after the last button press, and then turn off automatically.

To program the remote’s back light mode:

1.Press and hold the AVR Settings Button for 3 seconds. The remote will enter Program mode, and its Main Menu will be displayed.

2.Use the KL Buttons to scroll to the Back Light option, and press the OK Button.

3.Use the KL Buttons to select the Normal or On Full option, and press the OK Button to finish.
