30 PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Programming the Remote

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown above.
However, press the same button in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 120’s remote may be programmed to
operate so that the Transport Control
Functions

w (Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind,

Pause and Record) for a VCR, cassette deck, DVD
or CD will operate in conjunction with one of the
other devices controlled by the remote. For exam-
ple, while using and controlling the TV, you may
wish to start or stop your VCR or DVD without
having to change the device selected by the
AVR 120 or the remote. To program the remote
for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow
these steps:

1. Press the Input Selector

e for the device

you will be using (e.g., TV) when you wish to
have Transport Control Punch-Through active
and the Mute Button

at the same time

until the red light appears under the Input
Selector

e and the Program Indicator

c flashes amber.

2. Press the Play Button

w. The Program

Indicator

c will stop flashing and stay amber.

3. Press and release the Input Selector Button

e for the device whose transport mechanism
will be controlled (e.g., DVD, CD). The Program
Indicator

c will blink green three times and

then go out to confirm the data entry.

Example: To control the transport of a DVD
player while the remote is set to control the TV,
first press the VID2/TV Input Selector
Button

e and the Mute Button

at

the same time. Next, release them and press
the Play Button

w, followed by the DVD

Input Selector Button

e.

NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown above.
However, press the same button in Steps 1 and 3.

Reassigning Device Control
Selectors

Although each Input Selector

e is normally

assigned to the category of product shown on the
remote, it is possible to reassign one of these but-
tons to operate a second device of another type.
For example, if you have two VCRs but no satellite
receiver, you may program the “SAT” button to
operate a second VCR. Before following the nor-
mal programming steps for either Three-Digit entry
or Auto Search code entry, you must first reassign
the button with the following steps:

1. Press the Input Selector

e you wish to

reassign and the Mute Button

at the

same time until the red light appears under the
Input Selector

e and the Program

Indicator

c flashes amber.

2. Press the Input Selector

e for the device

type you wish to program into the reassigned
button.

3. Enter the three-digit code for the specific

model you wish the reassigned button to
operate.

4. Press the same Input Selector

e pressed in

Step 1 once again to store the selection. The
red LED under the reassigned Input Selector will
flash three times and then go out.

Example: To use the CBL/SAT button to oper-
ate a second VCR, first press the CBL/SAT
Input Selector

e and the Mute Button

at the same time until the red light glows

under the CBL/SAT Button

e. Press the

VCR Button

e, followed by the three-digit

code for the specific model you wish to control.
Finally, press the CBL/SAT Button

e again.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home theater
system, occasionally you may wish to totally repro-
gram the remote control without the confusion of
any commands, macros or ”Punch-Through“ pro-
gramming that you may have done. To do this, it is
possible to reset the remote to the original factory
defaults and command codes by following these
steps. Note, however, that once the remote is
reset, all commands or codes that you have
entered will be erased and will need to be
reentered:

1. Press any of the Input Selector Buttons

e

and the ”O“ Button

r at the same time

until the Program Indicator

c begins to

flash amber.

2. Press the ”3“ Button

r three times.

3. The red LED under the Input Selector

e will

go out and the Program Indicator

c will

stop flashing and turn green.

4. The Program Indicator

c will remain green

until the remote is reset. Note that this may
take a while, depending on how many com-
mands are in the memory and need to be
erased.

5. When the Program Indicator

c goes out,

the remote has been reset to the factory
settings.
