You can also change the device type by pressing the key next
to the device that you are editing the code for. Pressing this key

repeatedly cycles through all available device types.

Programming Combo Device Codes

Some Combo devices (e.g., TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR,
etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode keys to con-
trol both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you have
a TV/DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code under
the TV key to control the TV part and a separate code (under
any other Mode key) to control the DVD part. Other Combo
devices have one code that will control both parts of the device.

To set up a combo device, press the HOME key, Setup, More,
Advanced, and then Device Codes as described on previous
page.

Punchthrough

This feature lets you set up how various keys on the remote
operate in various modes. For example, you might want the
Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to ALWAYS operate your
TV, no matter what mode the remote is in. Or you might want
the Play, Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record keys to ALWAYS
operate your VCR no matter what mode the remote is in.

Press the HOME key, Setup, More, Advanced, then
Punchthrough.

Then select the device you want to set up

Punchthrough, e.g., TV.

Punchthrough, cont.

At this screen you set how you want
the Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.

Select how you want the Channel Up/
Down keys to operate when the remote is
in TV mode.

Select how you want the Play, Stop,
Pause, REW, FF, and Record keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.

For example, here we’ve set the Volume
and Mute keys to operate the TV in TV
mode (i.e., Punchthrough Not Set); Chan
Up/Down to operate the Cable Box; and
Play, Stop, Pause, etc., to operate the
DVD Player - even though the remote is
in TV mode.

Here we’ve set the Volume and Mute to
operate the TV; and Chan Up/Down to
operate the Cable Box; - even though
the remote is in DVD mode. Play, Stop,
Pause, etc., will operate the DVD (i.e.,
Punchthrough Not Set for Play, etc.).
You need to set up Punchthrough for
each device you’ve set up in the remote.
I.e., you need to set up how you want the
“Volume Up/Down and Mute” “Chan Up/Down” and “Play,
Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record” keys to operate for each
device that you have set up in whatever mode the remote is set
to.

Note also that if you want some other keys to operate in a
different mode from what they normally operate in, you can
“learn” the key(s). E.g., if you want you TV’s INPUT key to
still switch the TV’s input when you’re in cable mode, you can
learn your TV’s INPUT key under cable mode.
