Using the Remote Control

Use the remote buttons that apply to that device.

Note: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of devices.

Modes of Operation

The button corresponding to the mode the remote is in lights up when you press any button that works in that mode. For example, if you’re in TV mode and you press the VOL+ button, the TV button lights up. This tells you that the command to increase the volume is being sent to the TV (and not the satellite receiver, for example).

Volume Punchthrough Feature

You may find this feature helpful if you’ve connected your devices to an audio system, and you want to use the TV’s remote control to operate the volume for a device that is connected to the audio system. An example follows:

Let’s say you’ve connected your DVD player to your audio system. You’ve also programmed your TV remote control to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player sends its volume through the audio system, you would have to bounce back and forth between two remote controls: the audio system’s remote to adjust the volume and the TV’s remote control to operate the DVD player.

The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and saves a button press when you’re using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV remote to retrieve and send volume commands from the audio system whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode.

Therefore, after you’ve successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature, whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only have to press the VOL +/- or MUTE buttons. Follow the instructions below to set up Volume Punchthrough.

1.On your remote control, simultaneously press and hold the ON•OFF and MUTE buttons (approximately 3 seconds) until a device button remains lit. Then release the buttons.

2.Press and hold the MUTE button until the device button blinks off, then release the MUTE button.

3.Press and release the device button that you programmed to operate the audio system (receiver or amplifier).

4.Press and release the MUTE button.

5.Now, test it by turning on your audio system.

6.Turn on the device that is connected to the audio system (satellite receiver, for example).

7.Put the TV’s remote in SAT•CABLE mode by pressing the SAT•CABLE button.

8.Press VOL+ or VOL-. The volume from the audio system should increase or decrease accordingly.
