5.Use the KL Buttons to select the punch-through device (CBL/SAT in the example given in step 4), press the OK Button, and the Punch-Through programming will be saved.

To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, but select the same Source in Steps 4 and 5.

NOTE: The Volume and Mute controls are always dedicated to the AVR.
