PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 57
ENGLISH
Programming the Remote
Figure 64
4. The next display screen (Figure 65) is where
you select the device that will receive the
punch-through commands. In our example,
that is the VID 1/VCR button, as that is where
we want the cable box’s channel controls to
be active. Press the
⁄¤ Navigation
Buttons E until the name of the base
device appears and then press the Set
Button
F.
Figure 65
5. At the next display screen (Figure 66), you will
select the device whose Channel Up/Down
commands will be used. Press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons E until the desired
device name appears to the right of the device
in use. In our example, that is the cable box.
When the desired combination of devices
appears, press the Set Button
F.
Figure 66
6. When the Set button is pressed, the display
will change to show you that the new combi-
nation of control commands is being saved to
the unit’s memory, as shown in Figure 67. The
word SAVED will flash four times and then
the remote will return to normal operation.

7. Once the punch-through is programmed, the
channel up/down buttons of the second device
named will be used when those buttons
f
are pressed while the master device is in use.
Returning the Channel Control Settings to
Default Operation:
If you wish to remove the Channel Punch-
Through so that the commands for Channel
Up/Down are returned to the factory default set-
ting, follow the steps shown above, except that
in Steps 4 and 5, select the same device for both
the DEVICE IN USE on the left side of the bot-
tom line and the PUNCH-THROUGH device. In
the example used, the display to return the
remote to default settings will appear as shown
in Figure 68.

Transport Punch-Through
Transport punch-through allows the Play
P,
Stop P, Fast Forward/Reverse P, Pause
P, Record P and Skip Up/Down R but-
tons to send commands to a different device
than the one that has been selected for other
commands. For example, you may wish to oper-
ate the transport of a second VCR you have con-
nected to the VID 2/TV input, as shown in the
following example.
1. Press and hold the Program Button a for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display
2. Release the but-
ton when the red light under the Set Button
F appears.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure
26), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button
F will remain illuminated in
red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons
E until PUNCH-THROUGH appears on the
bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in
Figure 58. Press the Set Button
F to enter
the main punch-through menu branch.
3. At the next menu screen, press the ⁄¤
Navigation Buttons E until TRANS-
PORT appears on the bottom line of the LCD
screen, as shown in Figure 69. Press the Set
Button
F to begin programming the
remote for transport punch-through.

4. The next display screen (Figure 70) is where
you select the device that will receive the
punch-through commands. In our example,
that is the TV button, as that is where we want
the VCR’s transport controls to be active. Press
the
⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until the
name of the base device appears and then
press the Set Button
F.

5. At the next display screen (Figure 71), you will
select the device whose transport commands
will be used. Press the
⁄¤ Navigation
Buttons E until the desired device name
appears to the right of the device in use. In our
example, that is the VCR. When the desired
combination of devices appears, press the Set
Button
F.

6. When the Set button is pressed, the display
will change to show you that the new combi-
nation of control commands is being saved to
the unit’s memory, as shown in Figure 72.
The word SAVED will flash four times and then
the remote will return to normal operation.

7. Once the punch-through is programmed, the
transport buttons of the second device named
will be used when those buttons are pressed
while the master device is in use.
Returning the Transport Control Settings
to Default Operation:
If you wish to remove the Transport Punch-
Through so that the transport commands are
returned to the factory default setting, follow the
steps shown above, except that in Steps 4 and 5,
select the same device for both the DEVICE IN
USE
on the left side of the bottom line and the
PUNCH-THROUGH device. In the example used,
the display to return the remote to default set-
tings will appear as shown in Figure 73.

Renaming
While the names given to the buttons and inputs
on the AVR represent recognizable categories of
audio/ video products, system operation may be
easier if the displays shown in the remote’s LCD
screen are customized to reflect the specific char-
acteristics of a playback source’s brand name or
the new function given to a specific button when
one remote’s controls are programmed into the
AVR remote. The AVR remote allows you to
change the name of either a master device or
any button on the remote using the following
steps.
Renaming a Device
To rename a specific device/input source button,
follow these steps. For this example, we will
show you how to rename the Device/Input
Selector normally shown as “TV” to “HDTV
TUNER.”
1. Press and hold the Program Button a for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display
2. Release the but-
ton when the red light under the Set Button
F appears.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure
26), will appear in the LCD display and the
Set Button
F will remain illuminated in
red. Press the ⁄¤ Navigation Buttons
E until RENAME appears on the bottom
line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 74.
