Programming the Remote

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch- Through and return the remote to its original con- figuration, repeat the steps shown above. However, press the same button in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 120’s remote may be programmed to operate so that the Transport Control Functions w(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR, cassette deck, 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 120 or the remote. To program the remote for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1.Press the Input Selector e for the device you will be using (e.g., TV) when you wish to have Transport Control Punch-Through active and the Mute Button 35 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and the Program Indicator c flashes amber.

2.Press the Play Button w. The Program Indicator cwill stop flashing and stay amber.

3.Press and release the Input Selector Button e for the device whose transport mechanism will be controlled (e.g., DVD, CD). The Program Indicator c will 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 VID2/TV Input Selector Button e and the Mute Button 35 at the same time. Next, release them and press the Play Button w, followed by the DVD Input Selector Button e.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch- Through and return the remote to its original con- figuration, repeat the steps shown above. However, press the same button in Steps 1 and 3.

Reassigning Device Control Selectors

Although each Input Selector e is normally assigned to the category of product shown on the remote, it is possible to reassign one of these but- tons to operate a second device of another type. For example, if you have two VCRs but no satellite receiver, you may program the “SAT” button to operate a second VCR. Before following the nor- mal programming steps for either Three-Digit entry or Auto Search code entry, you must first reassign the button with the following steps:

1.Press the Input Selector e you wish to reassign and the Mute Button 35 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and the Program Indicator c flashes amber.

2.Press the Input Selector e for the device type you wish to program into the reassigned button.

3.Enter the three-digit code for the specific model you wish the reassigned button to operate.

4.Press the same Input Selector e pressed in Step 1 once again to store the selection. The red LED under the reassigned Input Selector will flash three times and then go out.

Example: To use the CBL/SAT button to oper- ate a second VCR, first press the CBL/SAT Input Selector e and the Mute Button

35 at the same time until the red light glows under the CBL/SAT Button e. Press the VCR Button e, followed by the three-digit code for the specific model you wish to control. Finally, press the CBL/SAT Button e again.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home theater system, occasionally you may wish to totally repro- gram the remote control without the confusion of any commands, macros or ”Punch-Through“ pro- gramming that you may have done. To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the original factory defaults and command codes by following these steps. Note, however, that once the remote is reset, all commands or codes that you have entered will be erased and will need to be reentered:

1.Press any of the Input Selector Buttons e and the ”O“ Button r at the same time until the Program Indicator c begins to flash amber.

2.Press the ”3“ Button r three times.

3.The red LED under the Input Selector e will go out and the Program Indicator c will stop flashing and turn green.

4.The Program Indicator c will remain green until the remote is reset. Note that this may take a while, depending on how many com- mands are in the memory and need to be erased.

5.When the Program Indicator c goes out, the remote has been reset to the factory settings.
