PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 125’s remote may be programmed to oper- ate the Volume Control 33 and Mute 36 func- tions of either the TV or the AVR 125 in conjunction with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For example, since the AVR 125 will likely be used as the sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have the AVR 125’s volume activated, although the remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 125 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 e for the unit you will be using (e.g., TV) when you wish to have Volume Punch-Through to your audio system active and the Mute Button 36 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and note that the Program Indicator c will flash amber.

2.Press the Volume Up Button 33 and note that the Program Indicator c will stop flashing and stay amber.

3.Press either the AVR Selector f or the Input Selector e, depending on which system’s volume control you wish to have attached for the punch-through mode. The Program Indicator c will blink green three times and then go out to con- firm the data entry.

Example: To have the AVR 125’s volume control activated even though the remote is set to control the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector e and the Mute Button 36 at the same time. Next, press the Volume Up Button 33 , followed by the AVR Input 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 125’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 125 or the remote. To program the remote for Channel Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1.Press the Input Selector Button e for the device you will be using (e.g., VCR) when you wish to have Channel Punch-Through active and the Mute

Button 36 at the same time until the red light appears under the Input Selector e and the Program Indicator c flashes amber.

2.Press the Volume Down Button 33 . The Program Indicator c will 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 c will 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 VID1/VCR Input Selector Button e and the Mute Button 36 at the same time. Next, release them and press the Volume Down Button 33 , followed by the VID2/TV Input Selector Button e.

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

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 125’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 conjunc- tion with one of the other devices controlled by the remote. For example, 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 125 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 36 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 c will 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 36 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 configuration, repeat the steps shown above. However, press the same but- ton in Steps 1 and 3.

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 ”Punch-Through“ programming 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 flash- ing 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 commands 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.
