Use the remote buttons that apply to that device.Notes: The remote control may not be compatible with all brands and models of devices.Modes of OperationThe button corresponding to the mode the remote is in lights up when you press any button that works inthat mode. For example, if you’re in TV mode and you press the VOL+ button, the TV button lights up.This tells you that the command to increase the volume is being sent to the TV (and not the satellite receiver,for example).Volume Punchthrough FeatureYou may find this feature helpful if you’ve connected your devices to an audio system, and you want touse the TV’s remote control to operate the volume for a device that is connected to the audio system. Anexample follows:Let’s say you’ve connected your DVD player to your audio system. You’ve also programmed your TV remotecontrol to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player sends its volume through the audio system, youwould have to bounce back and forth between two remote controls: the audio system’s remote to adjust thevolume and the TV’s remote control to operate the DVD player.The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and saves a buttonpress when you’re using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV remote toretrieve and send volume commands from the audio system whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode.Therefore, after you’ve successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature, whenever the TV remote is inDVD mode (press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only have to press the VOL+/- or MUTE buttons.
