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 Selectors
to transmit commands to the cable box even though the other button commands are programmed to operate the VCR.
To program the DPR 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 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 F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons n until
PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 49. Press the Set Button F to enter the main punch-through menu branch.
3.At the next menu screen, press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons n until CHANNEL appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 54. Press the Set Button F to 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 2/TV button, as that is where we want the cable box’s channel controls to be active. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons n until the name of the base device appears and then press the Set Button F.

5.At the next display screen (Figure 56), you will select the device whose Channel Up/Down com- mands will be used. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons n until the desired device name appears to the right of the device in use. In our example, that is the cable box. When the desired combination of devices appears, press the Set Button F.

Returning the Channel Control Settings to Default Operation:
If you wish to remove the Channel Punch-Through so that the commands for Channel Up/Down 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- THROUGH device. In the example used, the display to return the remote to default settings will appear as shown in Figure 58.

Transport Punch-Through
Transport punch-through allows the Play q, Stop J, Fast Forward/Reverse I, Pause J, Record J and Skip Up/Down K buttons to send commands to a different device than the one that has been selected for other commands. For example, you may wish to operate the transport of a second VCR you have connected to the VID 2/TV input, as shown in the following example.
1.Press and hold the Program Button O 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 F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons n until
PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 48. Press the Set Button F to enter the main punch-through menu branch.
3.At the next menu screen, press the ⁄ / ¤ Navigation Buttons n until TRANSPORT appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 59. Press the Set Button F to begin programming the remote for transport punch-through.
