PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 39Programming the Remotesystem’s volume control you wish to have attachedfor the punch-through mode. The Program/SPLIndicator 2 will blink green three times andthen go out to confirm the data entry.Example: To have the AVR’s volume control acti-vated even though the remote is set to controlthe TV, first press the Video/TV Input Selector4 and the Mute button ( at the same time.Next, press the Volume Up button ), followedby the AVR Input Selector 5.NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote tothe original configuration after entering a VolumePunch-Through, you will need to repeat the stepsshown above. However, press the same InputSelector in steps one and three.Channel Control Punch-ThroughThe AVR’s remote may be programmed to operateso that the channel control function, performedwith the Sleep 9 and Surround A buttons,for either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used inyour system may be used in conjunction with oneof the other devices controlled by the remote. Forexample, while using and controlling the VCR,you may wish to change channels on a cable boxor satellite receiver without having to change thedevice selected by the AVR or the remote. To pro-gram the remote for Channel Control Punch-Through, follow these 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 button 4and the Mute button ( at the same time. Next,release them and press the Volume Down button), followed by the same Input Selector button4.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.Transport Control Punch-ThroughThe AVR’s remote may be programmed to operateso that the Transport Control Functions P(Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause andRecord) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in con-junction with one of the other devices controlledby the remote. For example, while using and con-trolling the TV, you may wish to start or stop yourVCR or DVD without having to change the deviceselected by the AVR or the remote. To program theremote for Transport Control Punch-Through, fol-low these steps:1. Press the Input Selector 4 for the deviceyou wish to have the channel control associatedwith and the Mute button ( at the same timeuntil the red light illuminates, under the InputSelector 4 and the Program/SPL Indicator2 flashes amber.2. Press the Play button P. The Program/SPLIndicator 2 will stop flashing and 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 transport of a CD playerwhile the remote is set to control the TV, press theVID 2/TV Input Selector button 4 and theMute button ( at the same time. Next, releasethem and press the Play button P, followed bythe CD Input Selector 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.NOTE: Before programming the remote forVolume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through,make certain that any programming needed for thespecific TV, CD, DVD, Cable or Satellite Receivershas been completed.Reassigning Device-ControlSelectorsAlthough any of the Input Selectors 4 is nor-mally assigned to the category of product shownon the remote, it is possible to reassign one ofthese buttons to operate a second device of anoth-er type. For example, if you have two VCRs but notape, you may program the TAPE 4 button tooperate a second VCR. Before you can start youmust find out the three-digit code number foryour second device (your second VCR) to operate,as outlined on page 44. Then reassign the TAPE4 button with the following steps:1. Press the Input Selector 4 you wish toreassign and the Mute button ( at the sametime until the red light illuminates under the InputSelector 4 and the Program/SPL Indicator2 flashes amber.2. Press the Input Selector 4 for the device,whose function you wish to program into the reas-signed button.3. Enter the three-digit code for the specific modelyou wish the reassigned button to operate.4. Press the same Input Selector 4 pressed inStep 1 once again to store the selection. The redLED under the re-assigned Input Selector will flashthree times and then go out.Example: To use the TAPE 4 button to oper-ate a second VCR, first press the TAPE InputSelector 4 and the Mute button ( at thesame time until the red light glows under theTAPE 4 button. Press the VCR 4 button, fol-lowed by the three-digit code for the specificmodel you wish to control. Finally, press the TAPE4 button again.Important Note: Only those Input Selectorbuttons 4 can be reassigned that replaceother buttons for devices of the same kind. So thebottons for DVD, CD, TAPE and VCR (devices withtransport functions) can replace one another asthe Selectors for TV, CBL/SAT, andVID 4.To remove the Reassign function and return theremote to its original configuration, repeat steps1, 3 and 4 above (not 2), however, press thesame Input Selector button 4 in steps 1 and4 (i.e. re-program the button with itsoriginal code).Resetting the Remote MemoryAs you add components to your home-theatersystem, occasionally you may wish to totally repro-gram the remote control without the confusion ofany commands, macros or ”Punch-Through“programming that you may have done. To do this,it is possible to reset the remote to the original fac-tory defaults and command codes by followingthese steps. Note, however, that once the remote isreset, all commands or codes that you haveentered will be erased and will need to be re-entered:1. Press any of the Input Selector buttons 4and the ”O“ button H at the same time untilthe Program/SPL Indicator 2 begins to flashamber.2. Press the ”3“ button H three times.3. The red LED under the Input Selector 4 willgo out and the Program/SPL Indicator 2 willstop flashing and turn green.4. The Program/SPL Indicator 2 will remaingreen until the remote is reset. Note that this maytake a while, depending on how many commandsare in the memory and need to be erased.5. When the Program/SPL Indicator 2 goesout, the remote has been reset to the factorysettings.
