PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
•When a button is pressed on the AVR 135 remote, the red light under the Input Selector ef for the product being operated should flash briefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes for some but not all buttons for a particular product, it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote but rather that no function is programmed for the button being pushed.
Volume Punch-Through
The AVR 135’s remote may be programmed to oper- ate the Volume Control 
38 and Mute 
41 func- tions of either the TV or the AVR 135 in conjunction with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For example, since the AVR 135 will likely be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have the AVR 135’s volume activated, although the remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 135 or TV volume control may be associated with any of the remote’s devices. The factory default setting is to have the AVR 135’s volume activated for all devices except TAPE. To program the remote for Volume
1.Press the Input Selector efor the unit you wish
to have associated with the volume control and the
Mute Button 
41 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e; the Program Indicator cwill flash amber.
2.Press the Volume Up Button 
38 ; the Program Indicator cwill stop flashing and stay amber.
3.Press either the AVR Selector for the Input Selector e, depending on which system’s volume control you wish to have attached for the
Example: To have the AVR 135’s volume control activated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the Video 3/TV Input Selector eand the Mute Button 
41 at the same time. Next, press the Volume Up Button 
38 , followed by the AVR Selector f.
NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to the original configuration after entering a Volume Punch- Through, you will need to repeat the steps shown above. However, press the same Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.
Channel Control Punch-Through
The AVR 135’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the channel control function for either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be used in conjunction with one of the other devices con- trolled by the remote. For example, while using and con-
trolling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a cable box or satellite receiver without having to change the device selected by the AVR 135 or the remote.
To program the remote for Channel Control Punch- Through, follow these steps:
1.Press the Input Selector Button effor the
device you wish to have the channel control associ- ated with and the Mute Button 
41 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector efand the Program Indicator cflashes amber.
2.Press the Volume Down Button 
38 . The Program Indicator cwill stop flashing and stay amber.
3.Press and release the Input Selector Button e for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program Indicator cwill blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the channels using your cable box or satellite receiver while the remote is set to
control the VCR, first press the VID 1/VCR Input
Selector Button eand the Mute Button 
41 at the same time. Next, release them and press the Volume Down Button 
38 , followed by the VID 2/ Cable/Sat Input Selector Button e.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control
Transport Control Punch-Through
The AVR 135’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the Transport Control Functions `(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in conjunction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For exam- ple, while using and controlling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your VCR or DVD without having to change the device selected by the AVR 135 or the remote. The factory default setting is to have the DVD’s transport controls activated when the AVR, VID2/CABLE or SAT or VID3/TV devices have been selected. To program the remote for Transport Control
1. Press the Input Selector effor the device you wish to have the channel control associated with and the Mute Button 
41 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and the Program Indicator cflashes amber.
2.Press the Play Button `. The Program Indicator cwill stop flashing and stay amber.
3.Press and release the Input Selector Button e for the device that will be used to change the chan- nels. The Program Indicator cwill blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the transport of a DVD player while the remote is set to control the TV, first press
the VID 3/TV Input Selector Button e and the
Mute Button 
41 at the same time. Next, release them and press the Play Button `, followed by the DVD Input Selector Button e.
NOTES:
•To remove the Channel Control
•Before programming the remote for Volume, Channel or Transport
•The AVR 135 remote is preprogrammed at the factory so that the Transport Control Functions `operate the DVD player whenever the AVR device is selected.
Resetting the Remote Memory
As you add components to your home theater system, occasionally you may wish to totally reprogram the remote control without the confusion of any commands, macros or
1.Press any of the Input Selector Buttons eand the “O” Button rat the same time until the Program Indicator cbegins to flash amber.
2.Press the “3” Button rthree times.
3.The red LED under the Input Selector ewill go out and the Program Indicator cwill stop flash- ing and turn green.
4.The Program Indicator cwill remain green until the remote is reset. Note that this may take a while, depending on how many commands are in the memory that need to be erased.
5.When the Program Indicator cgoes out, the remote has been reset to the factory settings.
