PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 51Programming the Remote4. The next display screen (Figure 47) is whereyou select the macro to be read. Press the⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until thename of the macro you wish to read appears.For this example, we will read back the PowerOn macro created in the previous section.When the name of the macro to be erasedappears, press the Set Button F.Figure 475. As soon as the Set button is pressed, the firsttwo steps in the macro will be appear in theremote’s LCD screen. You may then use the⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E to step up ordown through the list of commands stored asthe macro. As you read the display, you willsee Device Selector Buttons 45appear in brackets, (e.g., [AVR]). When thestep in the macro is a function, navigation orany other button, it will appear next to thebracketed read-out of the underlying device(e.g., [AVR] POWER ON).6. When you are finished reviewing the macro’scontents, press the Set Button F to returnthe remote to normal operation.Punch-Through ConfigurationPunch-through is a capability of the remote thatallows the Volume controls, Channel Up/Downbuttons or Transport keys (Play, Stop, Record, FastForward and Reverse, and Skip Up/Down) to linkto a different device. For example, if your TV,cable box or satellite receiver is connectedthrough the AVR you will most likely want to usethe AVR’s volume control commands even whenthe remote has been set to issue all other com-mands for the video device. “Punch-through”enables you to easily program the remote to dothis.Volume Punch-ThroughFollow these steps to enable the VolumeUp/Down and Mute controls from one device tobe 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’svolume controls to be used when any input ordevice is selected with the exception of the VID2/TV button. There is no need to program theremote for volume punch-through for the AVR’scontrols with other sources, such as DVD. To havethe AVR’s volume commands used when the TVdevice is selected, follow these steps:1. Press and hold the Program Button & forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display 2. Release the buttonwhen the red light under the Set Button Fappears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure16), will appear in the LCD display and theSet Button F will remain illuminated inred. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation ButtonsE until PUNCH-THROUGH appears on thebottom line of the LCD screen, as shown inFigure 48. Press the Set Button F to enterthe main punch-through menu branch.Figure 483. At the next menu screen (Figure 49) press theSet Button F to begin programming theremote for Volume punch-through.Figure 494. The next display screen (Figure 50) is whereyou select the device that will receive thepunch-through commands. In our example,that is the VID 2/TV button, as that is wherewe want the AVR’s volume controls to beactive. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation ButtonsE until the name of the base device appearsand then press the Set Button F.Figure 505. At the next display screen (Figure 51), you willselect the device whose Volume Up/Down andMute commands will be used. Press the ⁄¤Navigation Buttons E until the desireddevice’s name appears to the right of thedevice in use. In our example, that is the AVR(indicated by AVR). When the desiredcombination of devices appears, press the SetButton F.Figure 516. When the Set button is pressed, the displaywill change to show you that the new combi-nation of control commands is being saved tothe unit’s memory, as shown in Figure 52. Theword SAVED will flash four times and thenthe remote will return to normal operation.Figure 527. Once the punch-through is programmed, theVolume Up/Down and Mute buttons of thesecond device named will be used when thosebuttons ), are pressed while the masterdevice is in use.Returning the Volume Control Settings toDefault Operation:If you wish to remove the Volume punch-throughso that the commands for Volume and Mute arereturned to the factory default setting, follow thesteps shown above, except that in Steps 4 and 5,select the same device for both the DEVICE INUSE on the left side of the bottom line and thePUNCH-THROUGH device. In the example used,the display to return the remote to default set-tings will appear as shown in Figure 53.Figure 53Channel Punch-ThroughChannel punch-through allows the ChannelUp/Down buttons to send commands to a differ-ent device than the one that has been selectedfor other commands. For example, you may wishto use a cable box or satellite receiver as thesource for a VCR, so you would want theChannel Up/Down Selectors + to transmitcommands to the cable box even though theother button commands are programmed tooperate the VCR.To program the AVR for Channel punch-through,follow these steps. This example will show howto program channel punch-through so that thecommands programmed for Channel Up/Downfor the VID 3/ Cable device will be transmittedwhen the VID 1/VCR device has been selected asthe current device.1. Press and hold the Program Button & forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display 2. Release the but-ton when the red light under the Set ButtonF appears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure16), will appear in the LCD display and theSet Button F will remain illuminated inred. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation ButtonsE until PUNCH-THROUGH appears on thebottom line of the LCD screen, as shown inFigure 48. Press the Set Button F to enterthe main punch-through menu branch.3. At the next menu screen, press the ⁄¤Navigation Buttons E until CHANNELappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen,as shown in Figure 54. Press the Set ButtonF to begin programming the remote forChannel punch-through.Figure 544. The next display screen (Figure 55) is whereyou select the device that will receive thepunch-through commands. In our example,that is the VID 1/VCR button, as that is wherewe want the cable box’s channel controls tobe active.
