Programming the Remote

To program the AVR for Channel punch-through, follow these steps. This example will show how to program channel punch-through so that the commands programmed for Channel Up/Down for the VID 3/ Cable device will be transmitted when the VID 1/VCR device has been selected as the current device.

1. Press and hold the Program Button for about three 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 display and the Set Button F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 58. Press the Set Button F to enter the main punch-through menu branch.

3.At the next menu screen, press the ⁄¤

Navigation Buttons E until CHANNEL appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 64. Press the Set Button F to begin programming the remote for Channel punch-through.

4.The next display screen (Figure 65) is where you select the device that will receive the punch-through commands. In our example, that is the VID 1/VCR button, as that is where we want the cable box’s channel controls to be active. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until the name of the base device appears and then press the Set Button F.

7.Once the punch-through is programmed, the channel up/down buttons of the second device named will be used when those buttons

are pressed while the master device is in use.

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 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 68.

Transport Punch-Through

Transport punch-through allows the Play P, Stop P, Fast Forward/Reverse P, Pause P, Record P and Skip Up/Down buttons to send commands to a different device than the one that has been selected for other commands. For example, you may wish to operate the transport of a second VCR you have connected to the VID 2/TV input, as shown in the following example.

1. Press and hold the Program Button for about three 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 display and the Set Button F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 58. Press the Set Button F to enter the main punch-through menu branch.

3.At the next menu screen, press the ⁄¤

Navigation Buttons E until

TRANSPORT appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 69. Press the Set Button F to begin programming the remote for transport punch-through.
