38 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTEProgramming the RemoteProgrammed Device FunctionsOnce the AVR’s remote has been programmed forthe codes of other devices, press the appropriateInput Selector 4 to change the remote fromcontrol over the AVR to the additional product.When you press any of these buttons, it will brieflyflash in red to indicate that you have changed thedevice being controlled.When operating a device other than theAVR, the controls may not correspond exactly tothe function printed on the remote or button.Some commands, such as the volume control, arethe same as they are with the AVR. Other buttonswill change their function so that they corre-spond to a secondary label on the remote. Forexample, the Sleep and Surround mode selectorbuttons also function as the Channel Up andChannel Down buttons when operating most TVsets, VCRs or Sat-Receivers.For some products, however, the function of aparticular button does not follow the commandprinted on the remote. In order to see whichfunction a button controls, consult the FunctionList tables printed on page 44. To use thosetables, first check the type of device beingcontrolled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at theremote control diagram on page 40. Note thateach button has a number on it.To find out what function a particular button hasfor a specific device, find the button number onthe Function List and then look in the column forthe device you are controlling. For example, but-ton number 46 is the”Direct” button for theAVR, but it is the “Favorite” button for manycable television boxes and satellite receivers.Button number 32 is the Delay button for theAVR, but the Open/Close button for CD players.Note that the numbers used to describe thebutton functions above and on page 40 for thepurposes of describing how a button operatesare a different set of numbers than those used inthe rest of this manual to describe the buttonfunctions for the AVR.Notes on Using the AVRRemote With Other Devices.• Manufacturers may use different code sets forthe same product category. For that reason, it isimportant that you check to see if the code setyou have entered operates as many controls aspossible. If it appears that only a few functionsoperate, check to see if another code set willwork with more buttons.• Depending on the brand and product typeused the functions listed in the Function Listtables may not correspond with the function theunit reacts on the command. In these cases it’s agood idea to edit the reaction of the unit intothe corresponding line of the table or to set up aseparate list.• When a button is pressed on the AVR remote,the red light under the Input Selector 45for the product being operated should flashbriefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes forsome but not all buttons for a particular prod-uct, it does NOT indicate a problem with theremote, but rather that no function is pro-grammed for the button being pushed.Volume Punch-ThroughThe AVR’s remote may be programmed to oper-ate the Volume Control ) and the Mute( from either the TV or the AVR in conjunctionwith any of the devices controlled by the remote.For example, since the AVR will likely be used asthe sound system for TV viewing, you may wishto have the AVR’s volume activated although theremote is set to run the TV.Either the AVR or TV volume control may beassociated with any of the remote´s devices.To program the remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow these steps:1. Press the Input Selector 4 for the unit youwish to have associated with the volume controland the Mute button ( at the same time untilthe red light illuminates under the Input Selector4 and note that the Program/SPL Indicator2 will flash amber.2. Press the Volume Up button ) and notethat.the Program/SPL Indicator 2 will stopflashing and stay amber.3. Press either the AVR Selector 5 or theInput Selector 4, depending on whichsystem’s volume control you wish to haveattached for the punch-through mode. TheProgram/SPL Indicator 2 will blink greenthree times and then go out to confirm the dataentry.Example: To have the AVR’s volume controlactivated even though the remote is set to con-trol the TV, first press the Video/TV InputSelector 4 and the Mute button ( at thesame time. Next, press the Volume Up button), followed by the AVR Input Selector 5.NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote tothe original configuration after entering aVolume Punch-Through, you will need to repeatthe steps shown above. However, press the sameInput Selector in steps one and three.Channel Control Punch-ThroughThe AVR’s remote may be programmed to oper-ate so that the channel control function, per-formed with the Sleep 9 and Surround Abuttons, for either the TV, cable or satellitereceiver used in your system may be used in con-junction with one of the other devices controlledby the remote. For example, while using andcontrolling the VCR, you may wish to changechannels on a cable box or satellite receiverwithout having to change the device selected bythe AVR or the remote. To program the remotefor Channel Control Punch-Through, followthese steps:1. Press the Input Selector button 4 for thedevice you wish to have the channel controlassociated with and the Mute button ( at thesame time until the red light illuminates under theInput Selector 4 and the Program/SPLIndicator 2 flashes amber.2. Press the Volume Down button ). TheProgram/SPL Indicator 2 will stop flashingand stay amber.3. Press and release the AVR 5 or InputSelector button 4 for the device that will beused to change the channels. The Program/SPLIndicator 2 will blink green three times andthen go out to confirm the data entry.Example: To control the channels using your TVwhile the remote is set to control the VCR, firstpress the VID 1/VCR Input Selector button4 and the Mute button ( at the same time.Next, release them and press the Volume Downbutton ), followed by the same InputSelector button 4.NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through and return the remote to its original con-figuration, repeat the steps shown in the exampleabove. However, press the same Input Selectorin Steps 1 and 3.
