5.The word ERASED will flash four times in the bottom line of the remote’s LCD, and then the display will return to its normal condition. When that happens, the macro is erased and the remote is returned to normal operation.

Read a Macro

To check the commands stored in the remote’s memory for one of the buttons, follow these steps:

1.Press and hold the Program Button Ofor about 3 seconds while the message shown in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button F appears.

2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Fig. 26), will appear in the LCD and the Set Button F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ Navigation Button Dso that MACRO appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 48. Press the Set Button F to enter the main macro menu branch.

3.At the next menu screen (Figure 57), press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil the bottom line in the remote’s LCD shows READ A MACRO. Press the Set Button Fto begin the process of erasing a macro.

4.The next display screen (Figure 58) is where you select the macro to be read. Press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil the name of the macro you wish to read appears. For this example, we will read back the Power On macro created in a previous section. When the name of the macro to be erased appears, press the Set Button F.

5.As soon as the Set button is pressed, the first two steps in the macro will be appear in the remote’s LCD screen. You may then use the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Dto step up or down through the list of commands stored as the macro. As you read the display, you will see Input Selector Buttons 3appear in brackets (e.g., [AVR]). When the step in the macro is a func-

tion, navigation or any other button, it will appear next to the bracketed readout of the underlying device (e.g., [AVR] POWER ON).

6.When you are finished reviewing the macro’s contents, press the Set Button Fto return the remote to normal operation.

Punch-Through Configuration

Punch-through is a capability of the remote that allows the Volume controls, Channel Up/Down buttons or Transport keys (Play, Stop, Record, Fast Forward and Reverse, and Skip Up/Down) to link to a different device. For example, if your TV, cable box or satellite receiver is connected through the AVR 445, you will most likely want to use the AVR 445’s volume control commands even when the remote has been set to issue all other commands for the video device. “Punch-through” enables you to easily program the remote to do this.

Volume Punch-Through

Follow these steps to enable the Volume Up/Down and Mute controls from one device to be used when the remote is otherwise programmed for a different device.

NOTE FOR VOLUME PUNCH-THROUGH: The remote’s default settings are for the AVR 445’s vol- ume controls, to be used when any input or device is selected, with the exception of the VID 2/TV button. There is no need to program the remote for volume punch-through for the AVR 445’s controls with other sources, such as DVD. To have the AVR 445’s volume commands used when the TV device is selected, fol- low these steps:

1.Press and hold the Program Button Ofor about 3 seconds while the message shown in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button F appears.

2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 26), will appear in the LCD and the Set Button Fwill remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil PUNCH- THROUGH appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 59. Press the Set Button Fto enter the main punch-through menu branch.

4.The next display screen (Figure 61) is where you select the device that will receive the punch- through commands. In our example, that is the VID 2/TV button, as that is where we want the AVR 445’s volume controls to be active. Press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil the name of the base device appears and then press the Set Button F.

5.At the next display screen (Figure 62), you will select the device whose Volume Up/Down and Mute commands will be used. Press the ⁄/ ¤ Navigation Button Duntil the desired device’s name appears to the right of the device in use.

In our example, that is the AVR 445 (indicated by AVR). When the desired combination of devices appears, press the Set Button F.

6.When the Set button is pressed, the display will change to show you that the new combination of control commands is being saved to the unit’s memory, as shown in Figure 63. The word SAVED will flash four times and then the remote will return to normal operation.

7.Once the punch-through is programmed, the Volume Up/Down and Mute buttons of the second device named will be used when those buttons Hiare pressed while the master device

is in use.

Returning the Volume Control Settings to Default Operation

If you wish to remove the Volume punch-through so that the commands for Volume and Mute are returned to the factory default setting, 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 bottom line and the PUNCH-THROUGHdevice. In the example used, the display to return the remote to default settings will appear as shown in Figure 64.
