Punch-Through Sound

Punch-through sound enables you to control the audio level of your first or second TV, regardless of what device mode the remote control is in.

Functional back-lighting

When you pick up the SBC RU620 and tilt it over about 60 degrees, the main keys for the device you want to operate are automatically back-lit.

In VCR mode for example, only the main keys that are needed to operate the VCR are back-lit.

You can choose to have all of the keys back-lit, or you can switch off the functional back-lighting feature completely.

To back-light all of the keys:

19 • Press keys 1 and 9 simultaneously - for about 3 seconds - until the green LED flashes twice.

–The functional back-lighting is now de-activated and all keys light up when you pick up the remote control.

Pressing keys 1 and 9 simultaneously again - for about 3 seconds - will return the back-lighting to its preset functional setting.

N O T E

The back-lighting turns off if you don’t move the remote control or if you don’t press a key within 4 seconds.

To do this please follow the instructions below.

To remove the back-lighting completely:

79 • Press keys 7 and 9 simultaneously - for about 3 seconds - until the green LED flashes twice.

–The back-lighting is now de-activated.
