Using the Remote Control
Modes of Operation
Because this universal remote can control several different components
(DVD player, VCR, cable box, etc.) it uses operational modes triggered by the
component buttons. For example, if you want the remote control to operate
the TV, press the TV button to put the remote into TV mode. If you want the
remote to operate the VCR, press the VCR button.
The button corresponding to the mode the remote is in lights up when you
press any button that works in that mode. For example, if you’re in TV mode
and you press the VOL+ button, the TV button lights up. This tells you that the
command to increase the volume is being sent to the TV (and not the satellite
receiver, for example).
Volume Punchthrough Feature
You may fi nd this feature helpful if you’ve connected your components to an
audio/video receiver (A/V receiver) or amplifi er, but you want to use the TV’s
remote control to operate the volume for a component that is connected to the
audio/video receiver. An example follows:
Let’s say you’ve connected your DVD player to your audio/video receiver. You’ve
also programmed your TV remote control to operate your DVD player. Since the
DVD player gets its volume through the audio/video receiver, you would have to
bounce back and forth between two remote controls: the A/V receiver’s remote
to adjust the volume and the TV’s remote control to operate the DVD player.
The Volume Punchthrough feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote
controls and saves a button press when you’re using the TV remote to adjust
the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV remote to retrieve and send volume
commands from the A/V receiver whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode.
Therefore, after you’ve successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough feature,
whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode (press the DVD button) and you
want to adjust the volume, you only have to press the VOL + or VOL- buttons.
Follow the instructions below to set up Volume Punchthrough.

1. Decide which mode the remote will be in when the volume from the audio
receiver “punches through.” The mode will be one of the component
buttons (TV, DVD, SAT•CABLE, VCR, or AUX•HD).
2. Press and hold the VOL- button. Keep pressing VOL- while you press and
release the component button you chose in step 3 (TV, DVD, SAT•CABLE,
VCR, or AUX•HD).
3. Press and release the AUDIO button since the sound will be coming from
the audio/video receiver. Release the VOL- button.
4. Now, test it by turning on your audio receiver or amplifi er.
5. Turn on the component that is connected to the audio/video receiver or
amplifi er (a DVD player, for example).
6. Put the TV’s remote in DVD mode by pressing the DVD button, and play a disc.
7. Press VOL+ or VOL-. The volume from the audio receiver should increase
or decrease accordingly.
