Figure 727. Once the punch-through is programmed, thetransport buttons of the second device namedwill be used when those buttons are pressedwhile the master device is in use.Returning the Transport Control Settings toDefault OperationIf you wish to remove the Transport Punch-Through sothat the transport commands are returned to the fac-tory default setting, follow the steps shown above,except that in Steps 4 and 5, select the same devicefor both the DEVICE IN USE on the left side of thebottom line and the PUNCH-THROUGH device. Inthe example used, the display to return the remote todefault settings will appear as shown in Figure 73.Figure 73RenamingWhile the names given to the buttons and inputs onthe remote represent recognizable categories ofaudio/video products, system operation may be easierif the displays shown in the remote’s LCD screen arecustomized to reflect the specific characteristics of aplayback source’s brand name or the new functiongiven to a specific button when one remote’s controlsare programmed into the AVR remote. The AVRremote allows you to change the name of either amaster device or any button on the remote using thefollowing steps.Renaming a DeviceTo rename a specific device/input source button, fol-low these steps. For this example, we will show youhow to rename the Device/Input Selector normallyshown as “TV” to “HDTV TUNER.”1. Press and hold the Program Button O forabout three seconds while the message shownin Figure 24 appears in the remote’s LCDInformation Display 2. Release the buttonwhen the red light under the Set Button qappears.2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure 25),will appear in the LCD display and the Set Buttonq will remain illuminated in red. Press the⁄ /¤ Navigation Button o until RENAMEappears on the bottom line of the LCD screen,as shown in Figure 74.Figure 743. At the next menu screen press the ⁄ /¤Navigation Button o until RENAMEDEVICE appears on the bottom line of theLCD screen, as shown in Figure 75. Press theSet Button q to begin renaming a device.Figure 754. The next display screen (Figure 76) is where youselect the device that will be renamed. In ourexample, that is the TV button. Press the ⁄ /¤Navigation Button o until the name of thebase device appears and then press the SetButton q.Figure 765. At the next menu screen you will see the devicename on the bottom line of the display with ablinking cursor box to the right of the devicename. Press the ‹ Navigation Button o toreturn the blinking cursor to the far left side of thedisplay line. You may then retitle the device nameas shown in the next step.6. To enter the new name, press the Numeric KeysA. The letters above the numbered buttonsindicate which letter or symbol will appear whenthe button is pressed during the renamingprocess. The first press of the button will enter thefirst letter shown, subsequent presses of the samebutton will change the display to the other lettersabove that numbered key. For example, since thefirst letter we need to rename the input to HDTVTuner is an “H”, you would locate the “H” abovethe “4” button, and press the button twice. Thefirst press shows a “G,” the second press changesit to an “H.” Consult the table at the end of thissection to see which characters pressing a partic-ular button generates.7. After you enter the first letter of the new devicename, there are three options for entering the nextcharacter:a. To enter a letter that requires a differentnumeric key to be pressed, simply press thatbutton. The cursor will automatically move tothe next position and the first letter accessedby the new button will appear. Following ourexample, the next letter needed is a “D,” soyou would press the “3” button once.b. To enter a letter that uses the same numerickey, you must first press the › NavigationButton o to move the blinking cursor blockto the next position. Then press the NumericKey A as required to enter the desired letter.c. To enter a blank space, press the › NavigationButton o twice. The first press will move thecursor to the right, and the second press willmove the cursor one more space to the right,leaving a blank space between the last letterand the next one.8. Repeat Step 7 as needed to enter all the neededletters, numbers, characters and spaces.9. When the text entry is complete, press theSet Button q. The LCD display will blinkDEVICE RENAMED three times and thenreturn to normal operation.Once a device is renamed you will see the new nameon the top line of the remote’s LCD display wheneverthe Input//Device Selector 3 is pressed, or whenany other command/function button on the remote ispressed after the main Device Selector is pressed.Note that renaming a device in the remote will notchange the name of the input used by the on-screenmenu system of the AVR 435.NOTES ON RENAMING DEVICES:• To move the cursor to the right or left of the displayduring the renaming process, press the ‹/›Navigation Buttons o as required.• The table below shows the letters, numbers andcharacters that may be accessed by pressing theNumeric Keys:Key Characters Key Characters1 [,],/,1 6 M,N,O,62 A,B,C,2 7 P,Q,R,S,73 D,E,F,3 8 T,U,V,84 G,H,I,4 9 W,X,Y,Z,95 J,K,L,5 0 -,.,#,0• Renaming a device changes the name of the deviceonly, not any of the individual key functions withinthat device memory. To change the name of anindividual device, follow the instructions in the nextsection.Renaming Individual KeysThanks to the programming flexibility of the AVRremote, an individual button on the remote may beassigned a feature or function that is different from thename that appears as the factory default when thebutton is pressed. However, with the Rename Keyfunction it is possible to rename almost any button onthe remote so that when the button is pressed you willsee a more descriptive or appropriate name displayed.To rename a specific button on the remote, followthese steps.
