Programming the Remote

To program the remote for Volume Punch- Through, follow these steps:

1.Press and hold the Input Selector 4 for the unit you wish to have associated with the volume control until the red light illuminates under the Input Selector 4 and 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 control 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 operate so that the channel control function, performed with the Sleep 9 and Surround A buttons, for either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be used in conjunction 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 and hold the Input Selector button 4 for the device you wish to have the channel con- trol associated with 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 configuration, 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 conjunction with one of the other devices con- trolled 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 or the remote. To program the remote for Transport Control Punch- Through, follow these steps:

1.Press and hold the Input Selector 4 for the device you wish to have the channel control associated 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/CBL/SAT 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 configuration, 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.

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 re-entered:

1.Press any of the Input Selector buttons 4 and the ”O“ button H at the same time until the Program Indicator 2 begins to flash amber.

2.Press the ”3“ button H three times.

3.The red LED under the Input Selector 4 will go out and the Program Indicator 2 will stop flashing and turn green.

4.The Program Indicator 2 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 2 goes out, the remote has been reset to the factory settings.
