The Wolf Cinema’sProScaler Universal Remote
The earlier chapters focused on controlling the WolfCinema ProScaler. This chapter discusses the use of the remote to
control other components in your system.
Wolf Cinema’sProScaler remote is a universal type. It allows you to control up to 8 components (including the Wolf Cinema
Projector and ProScaler) in your audio/video system with this single remote.This remote can be used for the day to day
operation of your entire system.
Retain your othercomponent remotes: you will need the remotes foryour other devices when you set up your system for the
first time, plus you will likely need the other remotes occasionallywhen you need to make changes to your system setup.
The Universal Remote Overview
This section presents a brief overview for using the remote from a system perspective and points out functions and
features unique to the Wolf Cinema ProScalerremote control. Details of programming the remote are in the section titled
“Programming the Remote.”
The remote has 3 primary features that work in combination to make control of your system as simple as possible:
1Modes: Youput the remote into a mode for controlling a particular component in your system by pressing
one of the 8 mode buttons. Once the remote is switched to a particular mode,it controls a single
component in your system.
2Punch Through: PunchThrough is a feature that minimizes the need for switching modes as much as possible.
Some of the buttons on your remote control have related functions. For example,the VOLUME,
and MUTE buttons both control sound volume, so they are related.Another example is the PLAY,
PAUSE,FAST FORWARD, FAST REVERSE, and STOP buttons. Buttons that have related functions
are a “group.”
PunchThrough allows one group of buttons for a particular componentto work while the remote is
switched into a mode for a different component. Forexample, DVD players typically don’t control
sound volume. Sound volume may be typically controlled by an AV Receiver. Punch Through
allows you to control sound volume while in the DVD operating mode. If you program punch
through to control your sound device for all your components,then one doesn’t ha ve to think
about what mode is currently selected. Instead, sound control becomes a function, and you no
longer have to remember which component controls sound.
3Macros: A Macro allows youto perform a series of button presses using a single button.Macros are useful
if you find that you use a particular series of button presses over and over.A Macro allows you to
invoke the entire series with one button.
