Punch-Through Programming

The punch-through feature allows you to operate one component,
while setting certain groups of controls to operate another component.
For example, while using the AVR controls for surround modes and
other audio functions, you may operate the transport controls of
your DVD player. Or while using the remote to control video functions
on your TV, you may use your cable box to change channels.

To program punch-through control while operating any device:

1. Press and hold the AVR Settings Button for 3 seconds. The

remote will enter Program mode, and its Main Menu will be
displayed.

2. Use the

Buttons to scroll to the Punch-Through option,

and press the OK Button.

3. Use the

Buttons to select either Channel or Transport

control, and press the OK Button.

4. Use the

Buttons to scroll to the device in use, and press

the OK Button. For example, to change channels using the cable
or satellite set-top box while using the remote to operate the TV,
select the TV source in this step.

5. Use the

Buttons to select the punch-through device

(CBL/SAT in the example given in step 4), press the OK Button,
and the Punch-Through programming will be saved.

To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as
above, but select the same Source in Steps 4 and 5.

NOTE: The Volume and Mute controls are always dedicated
to the AVR.

Back Light

The AVR remote is equipped with a back light to illuminate the keys
and LCD Display to facilitate its use in a darkened home theater

The back light’s turn-on mode may be programmed:

• Normal: The back light stays off unless the Back Light Button

is pressed.

• On Full: The back light will turn on any time a key is pressed.

In both modes, the back light will remain on for 5 seconds after the
last button press, and then turn off automatically.

To program the remote’s back light mode:

1. Press and hold the AVR Settings Button for 3 seconds. The

remote will enter Program mode, and its Main Menu will be
displayed.

2. Use the

Buttons to scroll to the Back Light option, and press

the OK Button.

Buttons to select the Normal or On Full option, and

press the OK Button to finish.

Remote Reset

To reset the remote to its factory defaults, erasing all product
codes, learned codes, activities and other user programming:

1. Press and hold the AVR Settings Button for 3 seconds. The

remote will enter Program mode, and its Main Menu will be
displayed.

2. Use the

Buttons to scroll to the Remote Reset option, and

press the OK Button. The process may take a few minutes,
depending on the amount of user programming requiring erasure.
Please wait until the “Remote Reset Complete” message appears
before pressing any keys.
