TV or Audio Volume Punch-Through
Your RM24941’s Punch-through command allows you to choose which device mode (either TV or AUDIO/AUX) controls the VOL+, VOL-, and MUTE keys on the rubber keypad. With this feature, your TV volume can work even when you are in VCR Mode, because it “punches through” from one device to another. The device you select for Volume Punch- through control must be either the TV or the AUDIO/AUX device programmed with the Audio unit. Any other selection (VCR, DVD, SAT/CBL) is denied and the LED indicator light flashes to indicate an error. The power-on default for volume control is TV Volume Punch-through.
Note: All Audio Modes take any Volume/Mute keypress commands from the Audio code, even when the TV is programmed as the Punch-through device. All other devices punch- through to the TV Volume/Mute control. When the Audio option is chosen as the Punch- through device, all modes take any Volume/Mute keypress commands from the Audio code.
To change the device that controls the VOLUME and MUTE keys Punch-through, follow these steps:
1.Press and hold the SETUP key on the rubber keypad until the LED indicator light remains on and the Main Setup Screen is shown. This process takes approximately 2-3 seconds.
2.Release the SETUP key.
3.Press and hold the device key on the rubber keypad for approximately 5 seconds (TV or AUDIO/AUX) for volume control until the LED indicator light blinks and the Main Setup Screen is shown.
4.The default volume control is now set for the mode you have chosen.
VCR Punch-through
The RM24941 punches through the six transport keys (REVERSE, PLAY, FORWARD, RECORD, STOP, and PAUSE) to VCR or DVD Mode, whichever was used most recently. Punch-through to VCR/DVD transport keys on the rubber keypad is only allowed for TV, VCR, DVD, and Cable-coded Modes. AUX, SAT and CD/Audio are dedicated to their programmed modes.
Record Key
In the VCR and AUDIO/CD Modes (including Punch-through), the RECORD key on the rubber keypad must be pressed twice before the command is sent. This is also true if a VCR device is programmed under any other mode. The exceptions are for DVD and SAT codes, where the RECORD key transmits the command after only a single RECORD key- press.
