Philips MG5005, MG301S, MG53S manual VCR/DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature

Setup, cont.

Controlling Devices Requiring Separate Power On and Off Buttons, cont.

To turn the TV off, press and release the POWER button to transmit the Power Off button command. This method can be applied similarly to any device and is available for all Modes. Note this feature is not supported by all codes.

VCR/DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature

This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons (i.e. PLAY, PAUSE, STOP, FF, REWIND, and REC) to Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last VCR, DVD or DVR programmed Mode you used. Normally other types of remotes only punch-through (from another Mode) on the 6 VCR buttons to the device programmed under the VCR Mode button. This is not much use if you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other than VCR. For example, if you have 2 DVD, VCR or DVR devices programmed into this remote, the last one you accessed on the remote will be the one that has control of the 6 VCR transport buttons when in any other Mode. This feature will not operate if the programmed TV, SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport button control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc.

Volume/Mute Control and Punch-Through Feature

This remote lets you select which device Mode controls your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is initially set (factory default) for all device Modes programmed with “Visual” codes (e.g. TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, SAT & CABLE) and “Audio” codes (e.g. CD & AUDIO) to use their own Volume/Mute control if present. If the programmed “Visual” code has no Volume/Mute operation of its own then those buttons will punch- through control to the TV Mode device without needing to change to TV Mode. Please refer to the next page for more information.

Setup, cont.

Any Mode chosen for Volume/Mute control MUST have its own Volume/Mute function or the Volume/Mute buttons will do nothing.
