Notes on Using the AVR 8000 RemoteWith Other Devices• Manufacturers may use different code setsfor the same product category. For that rea-son, it is important that you check to seewhether the code set you have entered oper-ates as many controls as possible. If itappears that only a few functions operate,check to see whether another code set willwork with more buttons.• When a button is pressed on the AVR 8000remote, the red light under the InputSelector ef for the product beingoperated should flash briefly. If the DeviceControl Selector flashes for some but not allbuttons for a particular product, it does NOTindicate a problem with the remote but ratherthat no function is programmed for the but-ton being pushed.Volume Punch-ThroughThe AVR 8000’s remote may be programmed tooperate the Volume Control and Mutefunctions of either the TV or the AVR 8000in conjunction with any of the devices con-trolled by the remote. For example, since theAVR 8000 will likely be used as the sound sys-tem for TV viewing, you may wish to have theAVR 8000’s volume activated, although theremote is set to run the TV. Either theAVR 8000 or TV volume control may be associ-ated with any of the remote’s devices. To pro-gram the remote for Volume Punch-Through,follow these steps:1. Press the Input Selector e for the unityou wish to have associated with the volumecontrol and the Mute Button at thesame time until the red light appears underthe Input Selector e and note that theProgram/SPL Indicator c will flashamber.2. Press the Volume Up Button andnote that the Program/SPL Indicator cwill stop flashing and stay amber.3. Press either the AVR Selector f or theInput Selector e, depending on whichsystem’s volume control you wish to haveattached for the punch-through mode. TheProgram/SPL Indicator c will blinkgreen three times and then go out toconfirm the data entry.Example: To have the AVR 8000’s volumecontrol activated even though the remoteis set to control the TV, first press theVideo 2/TV Input Selector e and theMute Button at the same time. Next,press the Volume Up Button , fol-lowed by the AVR Selector f.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 1 and 3.Channel Control Punch-ThroughThe AVR 8000’s remote may be programmed tooperate so that the channel control function foreither the TV, cable or satellite receiver used inyour system may be used in conjunction withone of the other devices controlled by theremote. For example, while using and controllingthe VCR, you may wish to change channels on acable box or satellite receiver without having tochange the device selected by the AVR 8000 orthe remote. To program the remote for ChannelControl Punch-Through, follow these steps:1. Press the Input Selector Button e forthe device you wish to have the channel con-trol associated with and the Mute Buttonat the same time until the red lightappears under the Input Selector e andthe Program/SPL Indicator c flashesamber.2. Press the Volume Down Button . TheProgram/SPL Indicator c will stop flash-ing and stay amber.3. Press and release the Input SelectorButton e for the device that will be usedto change the channels. The Program/SPLIndicator c will blink green three timesand then go out to confirm the data entry.Example: To control the channels using yourCable Box or Satellite Receiver while theremote is set to control the VCR, first pressthe VID 1/VCR Input Selector Button eand the Mute Button at the sametime. Next, release them and press theVolume Down Button , followed by theVID 2/TV Input Selector Button e.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 sameInput Selector e in Steps 1 and 3.Transport Control Punch-ThroughThe AVR 8000’s remote may be programmed tooperate so that the Transport ControlFunctions ` (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 DVD with-out having to change the device selected by theAVR 8000 or the remote. To program the remotefor Transport Control Punch-Through, followthese steps:1. Press the Input Selector e for the deviceyou wish to have the channel control associ-ated with and the Mute Button at thesame time until the red light appears underthe Input Selector e and the Program/SPL Indicator c flashes amber.2. Press the Play Button `. The Program/SPL Indicator c will stop flashing andstay amber.3. Press and release the Input SelectorButton e for the device that will be usedto change the channels. The Program/SPLIndicator c will blink green three timesand then go out to confirm the data entry.Example: To control the transport of a DVDplayer while the remote is set to control theTV, first press the VID 2/TV Input SelectorButton e and the Mute Button atthe same time. Next, release them and pressthe Play Button `, followed by the DVDInput Selector Button e.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 sameInput Selector e 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.46464246424642464246464242 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTEProgramming the Remote
