Programming the Remote
Notes on Using the AVR
Remote With Other Devices.
•Manufacturers may use different code sets for the same product category. For that reason, it is important that you check to see if the code set you have entered operates as many controls as possible. If it appears that only a few functions operate, check to see if another code set will work with more buttons.
•Depending on the brand and product type used the functions listed in the Function List tables may not correspond with the function the unit reacts on the command. In these cases it’s a good idea to edit the reaction of the unit into the corresponding line of the table or to set up a separate list.
•When a button is pressed on the AVR remote, the red light under the Input Selector 45 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’s remote may be programmed to
operate the Volume Control and the
Mute from either the TV or the AVR in con- junction with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For example, since the AVR will likely be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have the AVR’s volume activated although the remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR or TV volume control may be associated with any of the remote´s devices.
To program the remote for Volume Punch- Through, follow these steps:
1.Press the Input Selector 4 for the unit you wish to have associated with the volume control
and the Mute button at the same time until the red light illuminates under the Input Selector
4and note that the Program Indicator 2 will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up button and note that the Program Indicator 2 will stop flashing and stay amber.
3.Press either the AVR Selector 5 or the Input Selector 4, depending on which system’s volume control you wish to have attached for the punch-through mode. The Program Indicator 2 will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR’s volume control activated even though the remote is set to con- trol the TV, first press the Video/TV Input
Selector 4 and the Mute button at the same time. Next, press the Volume Up button
,followed by the AVR Input Selector 5.
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 one and three.
Channel Control Punch-Through
The AVR’s remote may be programmed to oper- ate so that the channel control function, per- formed with the Sleep 9 and Surround A buttons, for either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be used in con- junction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For example, while using and controlling 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 or the remote. To program the remote for Channel Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1.Press the Input Selector button 4 for the device you wish to have the channel control
associated with and the Mute button at the same time until the red light illuminates under the Input Selector 4 and the Program Indicator 2 flashes amber.
2. Press the Volume Down button . The Program Indicator 2 will stop flashing and stay amber.
3.Press and release the AVR 5 or Input Selector button 4 for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program Indicator 2 will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the channels using your TV while the remote is set to control the VCR, first press the VID 1/VCR Input Selector button
4 and the Mute button at the same time. Next, release them and press the Volume Down
button , followed by the same Input
Selector button 4.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch- Through and return the remote to its original con- figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example above. However, press the same Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.
Transport Control Punch-Through
The AVR’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the Transport Control Functions P (Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in con- junction with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For example, while using and con- trolling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your VCR or DVD without having to change the device selected by the AVR or the remote. To program the remote for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1.Press the Input Selector 4 for the device you wish to have the channel control associated
with and the Mute button at the same time until the red light illuminates, under the Input Selector 4 and the Program Indicator 2 flashes amber.
2.Press the Play button P. The Program Indicator 2 will stop flashing and stay amber.
3.Press and release the AVR 5 or Input Selector button 4 for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program Indicator 2 will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the transport of a CD player while the remote is set to control the TV, press the VID 2/TV Input Selector button 4 and the
Mute button at the same time. Next, release them and press the Play button P, followed by the CD Input Selector button 4.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch- Through and return the remote to its original con- figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example above. However, press the same Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.
NOTE: Before programming the remote for Volume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through, make certain that any programming needed for the specific TV, CD, DVD, Cable or Satellite Receivers has been completed.
