PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 51
Programming the Remote
4. The next display screen (Figure 47) is where
you select the macro to be read. Press the
⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E until the
name of the macro you wish to read appears.
For this example, we will read back the Power
On macro created in the previous section.
When the name of the macro to be erased
appears, press the Set Button
F.
Figure 47
5. As soon as the Set button is pressed, the first
two steps in the macro will be appear in the
remote’s LCD screen. You may then use the
⁄¤ Navigation Buttons E to step up or
down through the list of commands stored as
the macro. As you read the display, you will
see Device Selector Buttons
45
appear in brackets, (e.g., [AVR]). When the
step in the macro is a function, navigation or
any other button, it will appear next to the
bracketed read-out of the underlying device
(e.g., [AVR] POWER ON).
6. When you are finished reviewing the macro’s
contents, press the Set Button F to return
the remote to normal operation.
Punch-Through Configuration
Punch-through is a capability of the remote that
allows the Volume controls, Channel Up/Down
buttons or Transport keys (Play, Stop, Record, Fast
Forward and Reverse, and Skip Up/Down) to link
to a different device. For example, if your TV,
cable box or satellite receiver is connected
through the AVR you will most likely want to use
the AVR’s volume control commands even when
the remote has been set to issue all other com-
mands for the video device. “Punch-through”
enables you to easily program the remote to do
this.
Volume Punch-Through
Follow these steps to enable the Volume
Up/Down and Mute controls from one device to
be used when the remote is otherwise pro-
grammed for a different device.
Note for Volume Punch-Through:
The remote’s default settings are for the AVR’s
volume controls to be used when any input or
device is selected with the exception of the VID
2/TV button. There is no need to program the
remote for volume punch-through for the AVR’s
controls with other sources, such as DVD. To have
the AVR’s volume commands used when the TV
device is selected, follow these steps:
1. Press and hold the Program Button a for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s LCD
Information Display
2. Release the button
when the red light under the Set Button F
appears.
2. The remote’s MAIN MENU message (Figure
16), 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 48. Press the Set Button
F to enter
the main punch-through menu branch.
Figure 48
3. At the next menu screen (Figure 49) press the
Set Button F to begin programming the
remote for Volume punch-through.
Figure 49
4. The next display screen (Figure 50) is where
you select the device that will receive the
punch-through commands. In our example,
that is the VID 2/TV button, as that is where
we want the AVR’s volume 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 50
5. At the next display screen (Figure 51), you will
select the device whose Volume Up/Down and
Mute commands will be used. Press the
⁄¤
Navigation Buttons E until the desired
device’s name appears to the right of the
device in use. In our example, that is the AVR
(indicated by AVR). When the desired
combination of devices appears, press the Set
Button
F.
Figure 51
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 52. The
word SAVED will flash four times and then
the remote will return to normal operation.
Figure 52
7. Once the punch-through is programmed, the
Volume Up/Down and Mute buttons of the
second device named will be used when those
buttons
dg are pressed while the master
device is in use.
Returning the Volume Control Settings to
Default Operation:
If you wish to remove the Volume punch-through
so that the commands for Volume and Mute 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 53.
Figure 53
Channel Punch-Through
Channel punch-through allows the Channel
Up/Down buttons to send commands to a differ-
ent device than the one that has been selected
for other commands. For example, you may wish
to use a cable box or satellite receiver as the
source for a VCR, so you would want the
Channel Up/Down Selectors
f to transmit
commands to the cable box even though the
other button commands are programmed to
operate the VCR.
To program the AVR for Channel punch-through,
follow these steps. This example will show how
to program channel punch-through so that the
commands programmed for Channel Up/Down
for the VID 3/ Cable device will be transmitted
when the VID 1/VCR device has been selected as
the current device.
1. Press and hold the Program Button a for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 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
16), 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 48. 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 CHANNEL
appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen,
as shown in Figure 54. Press the Set Button
F to begin programming the remote for
Channel punch-through.
Figure 54
4. The next display screen (Figure 55) 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.
