42PROgRAMMINg ThE REMOTENotes on Using the AVR Remote With Other Devices.Manufacturers may use different code sets for the same product category.•For that reason, it is important that you check to see if the code set youhave entered operates as many controls as possible. If it appears that onlya few functions operate, check to see if another code set will work withmore buttons.Depending on the brand and product type used the functions listed in the•Function List tables may not correspond with the function the unit reactson the command. In these cases it’s a good idea to edit the reaction of theunit into the corresponding line of the table or to set up a separate list.When a button is pressed on the AVR remote, the red light under the Input•Selector CW for the product being operated should flash briefly. If theDevice Control Selector flashes for some but not all buttons for a particularproduct, it does NOT indicate a problem with the remote, but rather thatno function is programmed for the button being pushed.punch-through programmingThe AVR 260 remote’s punch-through feature allows you to select onecomponent for the remote to operate, while simultaneously setting certaingroups of controls to operate another component. For example, while usingthe AVR to control surround modes and other audio functions, you mayoperate the transport controls of your DVD player. Or while using the remoteto control video functions on your TV, you may use your cable box to changechannels.To program punch-through control while operating any device:Press and hold the Source Selector (or AVR selector) for the main device1.the remote will be operating. The Source Selector will light, go dark andthen light up again, indicating the remote is in Program mode and thatyou may release the button.Select the type of punch-through programming.2.To program channel control punch-through, press the Channel Upa)Button.To program transport control punch-through, press the Play Button.b)Press the Source Selector for the device whose channel or transport3.controls you would like to be active while operating the device youselected in the first step. The Source Selector will flash to confirm theprogramming.For example, if you wish to watch your TV while changing channels using yourcable box, first press the TV Button until it lights. Then press the Channel UpButton, followed by the CBL/SAT Button.To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, butpress the same Source Selector in Steps 1 and 3.NOTE: The remote always allows volume-control punchthrough, since theVolume and Mute controls are dedicated to the AVR.resetting the remote memoryAs you add components to your home-theater system, occasionally you maywish to totally reprogram the remote control without the confusion of anycommands, activities or ”Punch-Through“ programming that you may havedone. To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the original factorydefaults and command codes by following these steps. Note, however, thatonce the remote is reset, all commands or codes that you have entered will beerased and will need to be re-entered:Press the TV Device Button1. C and the "0" number Button Jsimultaneously. The TV button lights up.Press the ”2. 3“ button J three times.After a number of seconds, depending on the number of commands that3.are programmed and need erasing, all the Device Buttons C as well asthe AVR Button W blink 3 times to indicate that the remote has beenreset to the factory settings.Instructions for users on removal anddisposal of used batteries.Specification of included battery types.These symbols shown on the product, the packaging or in the manual orseparate information sheet mean that the product itself, as well as thebatteries included or built into the product, should never be thrown awaywith general household waste. Take them to suitable collection points, whereproper treatment, recycling and recovery take place, in accordance withnational or local legislation, or European Directives 2002/96/EC and 2006/66/EC.Correct handling of the product and batteries to be disposed of helps tosave resources and prevents possible negative effects on the environment orhuman health.The batteries included with your equipment may be Alkaline, Carbon Zinc/Manganese or Lithium (button cells) type. All types should be disposed ofaccording to the above instructions.To remove the batteries from your equipment or remote control, reverse theprocedure described for inserting batteries in the Owners Manual.For products with a built-in battery that lasts for the lifetime of the product,removal may not be possible for the user. In this case, recycling or recoverycenters handle the dismantling of the product and the removal of thebattery.
