PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE  53

cable box or satellite receiver is connected
through the AVR you will most likely want to use
the AVR’s volume control commands even when
the remote has been set to issue all other com-
mands for the video device. “Punch-through”
enables you to easily program the remote to do
this.

Volume Punch-Through
Follow these steps to enable the Volume
Up/Down and Mute controls from one device to
be used when the remote is otherwise pro-
grammed for a different device.

Note for Volume Punch-Through:
The remote’s default settings are for the AVR’s
volume controls to be used when any input or
device is selected with the exception of the VID
2/TV button. There is no need to program the
remote for volume punch-through for the AVR’s
controls with other sources, such as DVD. To have
the AVR’s volume commands used when the TV
device is selected, follow these steps:

1. Press and hold the Program Button

& for

about three seconds while the message shown 
in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display 

2. Release the button

when the red light under the Set Button

F

appears.

2. The remote’s 

MAIN MENU

message (Figure

16), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button

F will remain illuminated in

red. Press the 

⁄¤

E until 

PUNCH-THROUGH

appears on the

bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in
Figure 48. Press the Set Button

F to enter

the main punch-through menu branch.

3. At the next menu screen (Figure 49) press the 

F to begin programming the

remote for Volume punch-through.

4. The next display screen (Figure 50) is where

you select the device that will receive the
punch-through commands. In our example,
that is the VID 2/TV button, as that is where
we want the AVR’s volume controls to be
active. Press the 

⁄¤

E until the name of the base device appears
and then press the Set Button

F.

5. At the next display screen (Figure 51), you will

select the device whose Volume Up/Down and
Mute commands will be used. Press the 

⁄¤

E until the desired

device’s name appears to the right of the
device in use. In our example, that is the AVR
(indicated by 

AVR

). When the desired 

combination of devices appears, press the Set
Button

F.

6. When the Set button is pressed, the display

will change to show you that the new combi-
nation of control commands is being saved to
the unit’s memory, as shown in Figure 52. The
word 

SAVED

will flash four times and then

the remote will return to normal operation.

7. Once the punch-through is programmed, the

Volume Up/Down and Mute buttons of the
second device named will be used when those
buttons 

), are pressed while the master

device is in use.

Returning the Volume Control Settings to 
Default Operation:
If you wish to remove the Volume punch-through
so that the commands for Volume and Mute are
returned to the factory default setting, follow the
steps shown above, except that in Steps 4 and 5,
select the same device for both the 

DEVICE IN

USE

on the left side of the bottom line and the

PUNCH-THROUGH

device. In the example used,

the display to return the remote to default set-
tings will appear as shown in Figure 53.

Channel Punch-Through
Channel punch-through allows the Channel
Up/Down buttons to send commands to a differ-
ent device than the one that has been selected
for other commands. For example, you may wish
to use a cable box or satellite receiver as the
source for a VCR, so you would want the
Channel Up/Down Selectors

+ to transmit

commands to the cable box even though the
other button commands are programmed to
operate the VCR.

To program the AVR’s remote for Channel punch-
through, follow these steps. This example will
show how to program channel punch-through so
that the commands programmed for Channel
Up/Down for the VID 3/ Cable device will be
transmitted when the VID 1/VCR device has been
selected as the current device.

1. Press and hold the Program Button

& for

about three seconds while the message shown 
in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display

2. Release the but-

ton when the red light under the Set Button
F appears.

2. The remote’s 

MAIN MENU

message (Figure

16), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button

F will remain illuminated in

red. Press the 

⁄¤

E until 

PUNCH-THROUGH

appears on the

bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in
Figure 48. Press the Set Button

F to enter

the main punch-through menu branch.

3. At the next menu screen, press the 

⁄¤

E until 

CHANNEL

appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen,
as shown in Figure 54. Press the Set Button
F to begin programming the remote for
Channel punch-through.

4. The next display screen (Figure 55) is where

you select the device that will receive the
punch-through commands. In our example,
that is the VID 1/VCR button, as that is where
we want the cable box’s channel controls to
be active. Press the 

⁄¤

E until the name of the base

device appears and then press the Set
Button

F.

5. At the next display screen (Figure 56), you will

select the device whose Channel Up/Down
commands will be used. Press the 

⁄¤

E until the desired

device name appears to the right of the device
in use. In our example, that is the cable box.
When the desired combination of devices
appears, press the Set Button

F.

6. When the Set button is pressed, the display

will change to show you that the new combi-
nation of control commands is being saved to
the unit’s memory, as shown in Figure 57. The
word 

SAVED

will flash four times and then

the remote will return to normal operation.

7. Once the punch-through is programmed, the

channel up/down buttons of the second device
named will be used when those buttons 

+

are pressed while the master device is in use.
