CONFIGURING THE REMOTE of the macro to be erased appears, press the Set Button F. ERASE A MACRO POWER ON Figure 57 5. The word ERASED will flash four times in the bottom line of the remote's LCD, and then the display will return to its normal condition. When that happens, the macro is erased and the remote is returned to normal operation. Read a Macro To check the commands stored in the remote's memory for one of the buttons, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the Program Button O for about 3 seconds while the message shown in Figure 26 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 (Fig. 27), will appear in the LCD and the Set Button F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄ Navigation Button D so that MACRO appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 49. Press the Set Button F to enter the main macro menu branch. 3. At the next menu screen (Figure 58), press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D until the bottom line in the remote's LCD shows READ A MACRO. Press the Set Button F to begin the process of erasing a macro. MACRO READ A MACRO Figure 58 4. The next display screen (Figure 59) is where you select the macro to be read. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D until the name of the macro you wish to read appears. For this example, we will read back the Power On macro created in a previous section. When the name of the macro to be erased appears, press the Set Button F. READ A MACRO POWER ON Figure 59 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 Button D to step up or down through the list of commands stored as the macro. As you read the display, you will see Input Selector Buttons 3 appear in brackets (e.g., [AVR]). When the step in the macro is a func- tion, navigation or any other button, it will appear next to the bracketed readout 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 645, you will most likely want to use the AVR 645's volume control commands even when the remote has been set to issue all other commands 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 programmed for a different device. NOTE FOR VOLUME PUNCH-THROUGH: The remote's default settings are for the AVR 645'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 645's controls with other sources, such as DVD. To have the AVR 645's volume commands used when the TV device is selected, follow these steps: 1. Press and hold the Program Button O for about 3 seconds while the message shown in Figure 26 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 27), will appear in the LCD and the Set Button F will remain illuminated in red. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D until PUNCHTHROUGH appears on the bottom line of the LCD screen, as shown in Figure 60. Press the Set Button F to enter the main punch-through menu branch. MAIN MENU PUNCH-THROUGH Figure 60 3. At the next menu screen (Figure 61), press the Set Button F to begin programming the remote for Volume punch-through. PUNCH-THROUGH VOLUME Figure 61 4. The next display screen (Figure 62) is where you select the device that will receive the punchthrough commands. In our example, that is the VID 2/TV button, as that is where we want the AVR 645's volume controls to be active. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D until the name of the base device appears and then press the Set Button F. DEVICE IN USE TV Figure 62 5. At the next display screen (Figure 63), you will select the device whose Volume Up/Down and Mute commands will be used. Press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button D until the desired device's name appears to the right of the device in use. In our example, that is the AVR 645 (indicated by AVR). When the desired combination of devices appears, press the Set Button F. PUNCH-THROUGH TV
