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 430, you will most likely want to use the AVR 430’s volume control commands even when the remote has been set to issue all other commands 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 programmed for a different device.
NOTE FOR VOLUME PUNCH-THROUGH: The remote’s default settings are for the AVR 430’s vol- ume 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 430’s controls with other sources, such as DVD. To have the AVR 430’s volume commands used when the TV device is selected, fol- low these steps:
1.Press and hold the Program Button O for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 17 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button q appears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 18), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button q will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until
PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 50. Press the Set Button q to enter the main punch-through menu branch.

Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until the desired device’s name appears to the right of the device in use. In our example, that is the AVR 430 (indicated by AVR). When the desired combination of devices appears, press the Set Button q.

is in use.
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 settings will appear as shown in Figure 55.

Channel Punch-Through
Channel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Down buttons to send commands to a different 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 Buttons to transmit commands to the cable box even though the other button commands are programmed to operate the VCR.
To program the remote for Channel punch-through, follow these steps. This example will show how to pro- gram 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 O for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 17 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button q appears.
2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 18), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button q will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until
PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 50. Press the Set Button q to enter the main punch-through menu branch.
3.At the next menu screen, press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Button o until CHANNEL appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 56. Press the Set Button q to begin programming the remote for Channel punch-through.
