CONFIGURING THE REMOTE
Channel Punch-Through
Channel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Down
buttons to send commands to a different device than
the one 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 Buttons
¸
to transmit com-
mands to the cable box even though the other button
commands are programmed to operate the VCR.
To program the remote for channel punch-through,
follow these steps. This example will show how to
program channel punch-through so that the com-
mands 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
O
for
about 3 seconds while the message shown
in Figure 25 appears in the remote’s
LCD

. Release the button
when the red light under the

appears.

MAIN MENU
message (Figure

4. The next display screen (Figure 66) 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
cable box’s channel controls to be active. Press
the

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 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 settings will appear as
shown in Figure 69.

Transport Controls are set at the factory to oper-
ate your DVD player, or the controls of a specific
device such as a VCR or CD player when they are
selected. However, by using the Transport Punch-
Through feature you may program these controls to
transmit the commands for a different device. For
example, you may wish to operate the transport of a
second VCR connected to the VID 2/TV input, as
shown in the following example.
