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 DPR 1005, you will most likely want to use the DPR 1005’s volume con- trol 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 DPR 1005’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 DPR 1005’s controls with other sources, such as DVD. To have the DPR 1005’s vol- ume commands used when the TV device is selected, follow these steps:

1.Press and hold the Program Button O for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 18 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button q appears.

2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 19), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button q will remain illuminated in red. Press the / ¤ Navigation Button o until

PUNCH-THROUGHappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 51. Press the Set Button q to enter the main punch-through menu branch.

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 56.

Channel Punch-Through

Channel punch-through allows the Channel 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 use a cable box or satellite receiver as the source for a VCR, so you

would want the Channel Up/Down Buttons to transmit commands to the cable box even though the other button commands are programmed to operate the VCR.

To program the remote for channel punch-through, follow these steps. This example will show how to pro- gram 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 O for about three seconds while the message shown in Figure 18 appears in the remote’s LCD Information Display 2. Release the button when the red light under the Set Button q appears.

2.The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 19), will appear in the LCD display and the Set Button q will remain illuminated in red. Press the / ¤ Navigation Button o until
