most likely want to use the AVR 7200’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 7200’s vol-
ume 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 7200’s controls with other
sources, such as DVD.To have the AVR 7200’s volume
commands used when the TV device is selected, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the
Program Button
O
for
about three seconds while the message shown
in Figure 15 appears in the remote’s
LCD
Information Display

. Release the button
when the red light under the
Set Button
F
appears.
2. The remote’s

message (Figure 16),
will appear in the LCD display and the

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 7200’s volume controls to be active. Press

until the desired device’s
name appears to the right of the device in use. In
our example, that is the AVR 7200 (indicated by
AVR
). When the desired combination of devices
appears, press the

6. When the Set button is pressed, the display will
change to show you that the new combination of
control commands is being saved to the unit’s
memory, as shown in Figure 52. The word

will return to normal operation.

Volume Up/Down and Mute buttons of the second
device named will be used when those buttons

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 settings will appear as shown in
Figure 53.

Channel Punch-Through
Channel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Down
buttons to send commands to a different 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
·
to trans-
mit commands 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 pro-
gram 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.
