Volume Control Punch Through

In most home entertainment systems, the sound volume is only controlled by one device. In some systems, it is the TV speakers that make the sound, so you would use the TV device on the Automator to raise and lower the volume. In another system, it might be a surround sound receiver and speakers that control the sound, so you would use the Automator’s AUDIO device to adjust the volume. Constantly switching the Automator to TV or AUDIO to adjust the volume is inconvenient in daily life.

You can use Punch Through to set the Automator’s volume buttons to always control the sound in your system. That way when the Automator is set to VCR or DVD, the volume up, down and mute buttons will work perfectly without switching back to AUDIO or TV. Here’s how:

1Enter Setup mode by pressing and holding both MAIN and ENT for three seconds. The top of the display shows that you are in SETUP mode now.

Note: You have 30 seconds for each step, otherwise the Automator will time out automatically.

Press the PAGE UP button to get to page 2 of the

2SETUP menu. Press the PUNCH button.

Press the VOL button. The display confirms by

3displaying “VOL” at the top of the screen. This sets up the group of three buttons (Volume Up, Volume Down and Mute) in one action!

The Adcom URC-200 is a sophisticated universal remote control designed to enhance home entertainment systems. Employed widely by audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts, the URC-200 stands out due to its compelling combination of features, ergonomics, and advanced technologies.

This level of control is made possible through its comprehensive database, which supports a wide variety of popular brands and devices.

The URC-200 employs infrared (IR) technology, which is standard in remote controls. However, it also incorporates powerful learning capabilities.

For example, pressing "Watch Movie" could power on the TV, switch to the correct input, and start the DVD player, all with one action. This innovative feature is particularly beneficial for creating a streamlined viewing experience.

Another defining technology in the URC-200 is its backlighting system. This feature ensures that users can easily access controls in dim environments, enhancing usability during late-night movie sessions or when entertaining guests.

In summary, the Adcom URC-200 is a highly capable universal remote control that combines ease of use with advanced features.
