PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 35
Channel Control Punch-Through
The AVR 3000’s remote may be programmed to
operate so that the channel control function for
either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in
your system may be used in conjunction 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 3000 or the remote.
To program the remote for Channel Control
Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector button 4 for the
device you wish to have the channel control asso-
ciated with and the Mute button
X at the
same time until the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector
4 and the Program
Indicator 2 flashes amber.
2. Press the Volume Down button V.The
Program Indicator 2 will stop flashing and
stay amber.
3. Press and release the AVR 5 or Input
Selector button 4 for the device that will be
used to change the channels. The Program
Indicator
2 will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the channels using your TV
while the remote is set to control the VCR, first
press the VID 1/VCR Input Selector button
4
and the Mute button X at the same time. Next,
release them and press the Volume Down but-
ton
V, followed by the VID 2/TV Input
Selector button 4.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example
above. However, press the VID 1/VCR Input
Selector in Steps 1 and 3.
Transport Control Punch-Through
The AVR 3000’s remote may be programmed to
operate so that the Transport Control Functions
L (Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and
Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in con-
junction with one of the other devices controlled
by the remote. For example, while using and con-
trolling the TV, you may wish to start or stop your
VCR or DVD without having to change the device
selected by the AVR 3000 or the remote. To pro-
gram the remote for Transport Control Punch-
Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector 4 for the device
you wish to have the channel control associated
with and the Mute button
X at the same time
until the red light illuminates, under the Input
Selector
4 and the Program Indicator 2
flashes amber.
2. Press the Play button L.The Program
Indicator 2 will stop flashing and stay amber.
3. Press and release the AVR 5 or Input
Selector button 4 for the device that will be
used to change the channels. The Program
Indicator
2 will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the transport of a CD player
while the remote is set to control the TV, press the
VID 2/TV Input Selector button
4and the
Mute button X at the same time. Next, release
them and press the Play button L, followed
by the CD Input Selector button 4.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example
above. However, press the VID 2/TV Input
Selector in Steps 1 and 3.
NOTE: Before programming the remote 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.
Resetting the Remote Memory
As you add components to your home-theater sys-
tem, 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 re-
entered:
1. Press any of the Input Selector buttons 4
and the ”O“ button G at the same time until
the Program Indicator 2 begins to flash
amber.
2. Press the ”3“ button G three times.
3. The red LED under the Input Selector 4 will
go out and the Program Indicator 2 will stop
flashing and turn green.
4. The Program Indicator 2 will remain green
until the remote is reset. Note that this may take a
while, depending on how many commands are in
the memory and need to be erased.
5. When the Program Indicator 2 goes out,
the remote has been reset to the factory settings.
