PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE
Erasing Macro Commands
To remove the commands that have been pro-
grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow
these steps:
1. Press the Mute Button and the Macro
Button that contains the commands you
wish to erase.
2. The Program/SPL Indicator c will flash
amber, and the LED under the AVR Selector f
will turn red.
3. Within ten seconds, press the Surround Mode
Selector/Channel Down Button k.
4. The red LED under the AVR Selector f will
go out, and the Program/SPL Indicator c
will turn green and flash three times before it
goes out.
5. When the Program/SPL Indicator c goes
out, the Macro has been erased.
Volume Punch-Through
The RCP 2 may be programmed to operate the
Volume Control
and Mute functions of
either the TV or the AVR in conjunction with any of the
devices controlled by the remote. For example, since
the AVR will likely be used as the sound system for TV
viewing, you may wish to have the AVR’s volume acti-
vated, although the remote is set to run the TV. Either
the AVR or TV volume control may be associated with
any of the RCP 2’s devices. The factory default is to
have the AVR’s volume controls active for all devices
except CD and TAPE. To program the remote for
Volume Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector e for the unit you wish
to have associated with the volume control and the
Mute Button
at the same time until the red
light appears under the Input Selector e; the
Program/SPL Indicator c will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up Button ; the Program/
SPL Indicator c will stop flashing and stay amber.
3. Press either the AVR Selector f or the Input
Selector e, depending on which system’s
volume control you wish to have attached for the
punch-through mode. The Program/SPL Indicator
c will blink green three times and then go out to
confirm the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR’s volume control acti-
vated even though the RCP 2 is set to control the
TV, first press the VID 3/TV Input Selector e
and the Mute Button
at the same time. Next,
press the Volume Up Button , followed by
the AVR Selector f.
NOTE: Should you wish to return the RCP 2 to the
original configuration after entering a Volume Punch-
Through, you will need to repeat the steps shown
above. However, press the same Input Selector in
Steps 1 and 3.
Channel Control Punch-Through
The RCP 2 may be programmed to operate so that the
channel control function for either the TV, cable or satel-
lite receiver used in your system may be used in con-
junction with one of the other devices controlled by the
remote. For example, while using and controlling the
VCR, you may wish to change channels on a cable box
or satellite receiver without having to change the device
selected by the AVR or the RCP 2. To program the
remote for Channel Control Punch-Through, follow
these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector Button e for the device
you wish to have the channel control associated with
and the Mute Button
at the same time until
the red light appears under the Input Selector e
and the Program/SPL Indicator c flashes
amber.
2. Press the Volume Down Button . The
Program/SPL Indicator c will stop flashing
and stay amber.
3. Press and release the Input Selector Button e
for the device that will be used to change the chan-
nels. The Program/SPL Indicator c will blink
green three times and then go out to confirm the
data entry.
Example: To control the channels using your cable
box or satellite receiver while the RCP 2 is set to
control the VCR, first press the VID 1/VCR Input
Selector Button e and the Mute Button
at the same time. Next, release them and press
the Volume Down Button
, followed by the
VID 3/TV Input Selector Button e.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through
and return the RCP 2 to its original configuration, repeat
the steps shown in the example above. However, press
the VID 1/VCR Input Selector e in Steps 1 and 3.
Transport Control Punch-Through
The RCP 2 may be programmed to operate so that the
Transport Control Functions ` (Play, Stop, Fast
Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a VCR, DVD
or CD will operate in conjunction with one of the other
devices controlled by the RCP 2. For example, 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 or the RCP 2. The factory
default is to have the DVD’s transport controls active for
all devices except CD and TAPE. To program the remote
for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector e for the device you
wish to have the channel control associated with and
the Mute Button
at the same time until the
red light appears under the Input Selector e and
the Program/SPL Indicator c flashes amber.
2. Press the Play Button `. The Program/SPL
Indicator c will stop flashing and stay amber.
3. Press and release the Input Selector Button e
for the device that will be used to change the chan-
nels. The Program/SPL Indicator c will blink
green three times and then go out to confirm the
data entry.
Example: To control the transport of the DVD while
the RCP 2 is set to control the TV, first press the
VID 3/TV Input Selector Button e and the
Mute Button
at the same time. Next, release
them and press the Play Button `, followed by
the DVD Input Selector Button e.
NOTES:
• To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through and
return the RCP 2 to its original configuration, repeat
the steps in the example above. However, press the
VID 3/TV Input Selector e in Steps 1 and 3.
• Before programming the RCP 2 for Volume, Channel
or Transport Punch-Through, make certain that any
programming needed for the specific TV, CD, DVD,
cable or satellite receivers has been completed.
Reassigning Device Control Selectors
Although each Input Selector e is normally
assigned to the category of product shown on the
RCP 2, it is possible to reassign one of these buttons 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 normal 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/SPL Indicator c flashes
amber.
2. Press the Input Selector e for the device 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
