Since the DVD player gets itsvolume through the audio/video receiver, you would have to bounce back and forth betweentwo remote controls: the A/V receiver’s remote to adjust the volume and the TV’s remotecontrol to operate the DVD player.The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls andsaves a button press when you’re using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you aretelling the TV remote to retrieve and send volume commands from the a/v receiver wheneverthe TV remote is in DVD mode.Therefore, after you’ve successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature, whenever the TVremote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you onlyhave to press the VOL + or VOL- buttons.
