Returning the Channel Control Settings to Default Operation:

If you wish to remove the Channel Punch- Through so that the commands for Channel Up/Down are returned to the factory default set- ting, follow the steps shown above, except that in Steps 4 and 5, select the same device for both the DEVICE IN USE on the left side of the bot- tom line and the PUNCH-THROUGHdevice. In the example used, the display to return the remote to default settings will appear as shown in Figure 58.

Renaming

While the names given to the buttons and inputs on the AVR represent recognizable categories of audio/ video products, system operation may be easier if the displays shown in the remote’s LCD screen are customized to reflect the specific char- acteristics of a playback source’s brand name or the new function given to a specific button when one remote’s controls are programmed into the AVR remote. The AVR remote allows you to change the name of either a master device or any button on the remote using the following steps.

Renaming a Device

To rename a specific device/input source button, follow these steps. For this example, we will show you how to rename the Device/Input Selector normally shown as “TV” to “HDTV TUNER.”

1. Press and hold the Program Button for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the but- ton when the red light under the Set Button

Fappears.

2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 16), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons Euntil RENAME appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 66.
