Programming the Remote

system’s volume control you wish to have attached for the punch-through mode. The Program/SPL Indicator 2will blink green three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To have the AVR’s volume control acti- vated even though the remote is set to control the TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector

4and 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 9and Surround Abuttons, 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 pro- gram the remote for Channel Control Punch- Through, follow these steps:

1.Press the Input Selector button 4for 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 4and the Program/SPL Indicator 2flashes amber.

2. Press the Volume Down button . The Program/SPL Indicator 2will stop flashing and stay amber.

3.Press and release the AVR 5or Input Selector button 4for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program/SPL Indicator 2will 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, fol- low these steps:

1.Press the Input Selector 4for 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 4and the Program/SPL Indicator

2flashes amber.

2.Press the Play button P. The Program/SPL Indicator 2will stop flashing and stay amber.

3.Press and release the AVR 5or Input Selector button 4for the device that will be used to change the channels. The Program/SPL Indicator 2will 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 4and 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.

Reassigning Device-Control Selectors

Although any of the Input Selectors 4is nor- mally assigned to the category of product shown on the remote, it is possible to reassign one of these buttons to operate a second device of anoth- er type. For example, if you have two VCRs but no tape, you may program the TAPE 4button to operate a second VCR. Before you can start you must find out the three-digit code number for your second device (your second VCR) to operate, as outlined on page 44. Then reassign the TAPE

4button with the following steps:

1. Press the Input Selector 4you wish to

reassign and the Mute button at the same time until the red light illuminates under the Input Selector 4and the Program/SPL Indicator

2flashes amber.

2.Press the Input Selector 4for the device, whose function you wish to program into the reas- signed button.

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

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

Example: To use the TAPE 4button to oper- ate a second VCR, first press the TAPE Input

Selector 4and the Mute button at the same time until the red light glows under the TAPE 4button. Press the VCR 4button, fol- lowed by the three-digit code for the specific model you wish to control. Finally, press the TAPE

4button again.

Important Note: Only those Input Selector buttons 4can be reassigned that replace other buttons for devices of the same kind. So the bottons for DVD, CD, TAPE and VCR (devices with transport functions) can replace one another as the Selectors for TV, CBL/SAT, and

VID 4.

To remove the Reassign function and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat steps 1, 3 and 4 above (not 2), however, press the same Input Selector button 4in steps 1 and 4 (i.e. re-program the button with its

original code).

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“ programming that you may have done. To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the original fac- tory 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 Hat the same time until the Program/SPL Indicator 2begins to flash amber.

2.Press the ”3“ button Hthree times.

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

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