PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 53ENGLISHProgramming the RemoteVolume Punch-ThroughThe AVR’s remote may be programmed tooperate the Volume Control and theMute from either the TV or the AVR inconjunction with any of the devices controlled bythe remote. For example, since the AVR will likelybe used as the sound system for TV viewing, youmay wish to have the AVR’s volume activatedalthough the remote is set to run the TV. Eitherthe AVR or TV volume control may be associatedwith 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 Indicator 2will flash amber.2. Press the Volume Up button and notethat the Program 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 Indicator 2 will blink green threetimes and then go out to confirm the data entry.Example: To have the AVR’s volume controlactivated even though the remote is set tocontrol 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 tooperate so that the channel control function,performed with the Sleep 9 and SurroundA buttons, for either the TV, cable or satellitereceiver used in your system may be used inconjunction with one of the other devicescontrolled by the remote. For example, whileusing and controlling the VCR, you may wish tochange channels on a cable box or satellitereceiver without having to change the deviceselected by the AVR or the remote. To programthe 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 atthe same time until the red light illuminatesunder the Input Selector 4 and theProgram Indicator 2 flashes amber.2. Press the Volume Down button . TheProgram Indicator 2 will stop flashing andstay amber.3. Press and release the AVR 5 or InputSelector button 4 for the device that will beused to change the channels. The ProgramIndicator 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 sametime. Next, release them and press the VolumeDown button , followed by the same InputSelector button 4.NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through and return the remote to its originalconfiguration, repeat the steps shown in theexample above. However, press the same InputSelector in Steps 1 and 3.Transport Control Punch-ThroughThe AVR’s remote may be programmed tooperate so that the Transport ControlFunctions P (Play, Stop, Fast Forward,Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR, DVD orCD will operate in conjunction with one of theother devices controlled by the remote. Forexample, while using and controlling the TV, youmay wish to start or stop your VCR or DVDwithout having to change the device selected bythe AVR or the remote. To program the remotefor Transport Control Punch-Through, followthese 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 Indicator 2flashes amber.2. Press the Play button P. The ProgramIndicator 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 ProgramIndicator 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,release them and press the Play button P,followed by the CD Input Selector button4.NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through and return the remote to its originalconfiguration, repeat the steps shown in theexample above. However, press the same InputSelector in Steps 1 and 3.NOTE: Before programming the remote forVolume, Channel or Transport Punch-Through,make certain that any programming needed forthe specific TV, CD, DVD, Cable or SatelliteReceivers has been completed.Resetting the Remote MemoryAs you add components to your home-theatersystem, occasionally you may wish to totallyreprogram the remote control without theconfusion of any commands, macros or ”Punch-Through“ programming that you may havedone. To do this, it is possible to reset theremote to the original factory defaults andcommand codes by following these steps. Note,however, that once the remote is reset, allcommands or codes that you have entered willbe 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 Indicator 2 begins to flashamber.2. Press the ”3“ button H three times.3. The red LED under the Input Selector 4will go out and the Program Indicator 2will stop flashing and turn green.4. The Program Indicator 2 will remaingreen until the remote is reset. Note that thismay take a while, depending on how manycommands are in the memory and need to beerased.5. When the Program Indicator 2 goes out,the remote has been reset to the factorysettings.
