Note:

A macro can end on any page, including the HOME page. In the previous example, the macro was ended on the SAT page before saving it, as this was the desired endpoint.

PROGRAMMING “PUNCH THROUGH” FUNCTIONS

The RV-8 volume control can be used in a different mode using the volume “punch through” feature. You can also have channel “punch through” (Channel Up, Channel Down) as well as eight VCR (or DVD) transport buttons (Play, Stop, Fast Forward and Rewind, Skip-, Skip+, Pause, Record) operate in another mode such as SAT, CD and RV-8 MAIN modes.

To program “punch through” functions:

1.Go to the SETUP mode by pressing the HOME and ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

2.Press the PUNCH button next to the LCD screen.

Note:

When using “Punch Through,” think of the first device selected as the device that now controls the functions, and think of the second device as the device you want to control those functions. You are taking the controls of the second device and “punching them through” to the first device.

3.Press the VOL button on the LCD for Volume Punch Through, the PLAY button for Transport Punch Through and the CH button for Channel Punch Through.

4.Select the device you wish to “punch through” to (first device example - television or satellite receiver).

5.Select the device you wish to “punch through” from (second device example - RV-8 MAIN).

You are punching through the controls of the second device to the device that is currently being controlled by any other buttons. For example, for VOL you are “punching through” the controls of the RV-8 MAIN VOL to the TV or SAT, enabling you to control the RV-8 MAIN VOL when in the TV or SAT screen.

6.Punch Through is saved when the second device is pressed.

7.Repeat from step 2 to program Punch Through for other devices.

8.Once you complete the programming and wish to exit fromthis mode, press the HOME button. Exit from the SETUP mode by pressing the HOME button once again.

9.Repeat from step 5 to “punch through” any other devices or learned buttons.

10.Press the HOME button to exit to main Punch Through mode. Press the HOME button once again to exit the SETUP mode.

ERASING MACRO FUNCTIONS

To erase M1, M2, M3, Power, System Off buttons:

1.Go to the SETUP mode by pressing both the HOME and ENT buttons simultaneously for three seconds.

2.Press the ERASE button next to the LCD screen.

3.Press the MACRO button.

4.To erase all of the macro buttons in the RV-8 remote, press the ALL button and then press the SURE? button at the next LCD screen.

5.To erase just one of the macros, press the KEY button at step 4 and then one of the M1, M2, M3, POWER or SYSTEM OFF buttons to erase the macro functions from that button.

6.Press the HOME button to exit to main Erase mode.
