When a button is pressed on the AVR 140 remote,

the red light under the

Input Selector

ef

for

the product being operated should flash briefly. If

the Device Control Selector flashes for some but

not all buttons for a particular product, it indicates

that no function is programmed for the button

being pushed.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 140’s remote may be programmed to oper-

ate the

Volume Control

±

and

Mute

¿

func-

tions of either the TV or the AVR 140 in conjunction

with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For

example, since the AVR 140 will likely be used as the

sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have

the AVR 140’s volume activated, although the remote

is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 140 or TV volume

control may be associated with any of the remote’s

devices. The factory default setting is to have the

AVR 140’s volume activated for all devices except

TAPE

. To program the remote for Volume Punch-

Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

e

for the unit you wish

to have associated with the volume control and the

Mute Button

¿

at the same time until the red

light appears under the

Input Selector

e

; the

Program Indicator

c

will flash amber.

2. Press the

Volume Up Button

±

; the

Program

Indicator

c

will stop flashing and stay amber.

3. Press either the

AVR Selector

f

or the

Input

Selector

e

, depending on which system’s

volume control you wish to have attached for the

punch-through mode. The

Program Indicator

c

will blink green three times and then go out to con-

firm the data entry.

Example:

To have the AVR 140’s volume control

activated even though the remote is set to control

the TV, first press the

Video 3/TV Input Selector

e

and the

Mute Button

¿

at the same time.

Next, press the

Volume Up Button

±

, followed

by the

AVR Selector

f

.

NOTE:

Should you wish to return the remote to the

original configuration after entering a Volume Punch-

Through, you will need to repeat the steps shown

above. However, press the same Input Selector in

Steps 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 140’s remote may be programmed to operate

so that the channel control function for either the TV,

cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be

used in conjunction with one of the other devices con-

trolled by the remote. For example, while using and con-

trolling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a

cable box or satellite receiver without having to change

the device selected by the AVR 140 or the remote.

To program the remote for Channel Control Punch-

Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector Button

ef

for the

device you wish to have the channel control associ-

ated with and the

Mute Button

¿

at the same

time until the red light appears under the

Input

Selector

ef

and the

Program Indicator

c

flashes amber.

2. Press the

Volume Down Button

±

. The

Program Indicator

c

will stop flashing and

stay amber.

3. Press and release the


e

for the device that will be used to change the

channels. The

Program Indicator

c

will blink

green three times and then go out to confirm the

data entry.

Example:

To control the channels using your cable

box or satellite receiver while the remote is set to

control the VCR, first press the

VID 1/VCR Input

Selector Button

e

and the

Mute Button

¿

at the same time. Next, release them and press the

Volume Down Button

±

, followed by the

VID 2/

Cable/Sat Input Selector Button

e

.

NOTE:

To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through

and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat

the steps shown in the example above. However, press

the same Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 140’s remote may be programmed to operate

so that the

Transport Control Functions

`

(Play,

Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a

VCR, DVD or CD will operate in conjunction with one of

the other devices controlled by the remote. For exam-

ple, while using and controlling the TV, you may wish to

start or stop your VCR or DVD without having to change

the device selected by the AVR 140 or the remote. The

factory default setting is to have the DVD’s transport

controls activated when the

AVR, VID2/CABLE

or

SAT

or

VID3/TV

devices have been selected. To program

the remote for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow

these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

ef

for the device

you wish to have the channel control associated with

and the

Mute Button

¿

at the same time until

the red light appears under the

Input Selector

e

and the

Program Indicator

c

flashes amber.

2. Press the

Play Button

`

. The

Program

Indicator

c

will stop flashing and stay amber.

3. Press and release the


e

for the device that will be used to change the chan-

nels. The

Program Indicator

c

will blink green

three times and will then go out to confirm the

data entry.

Example:

To control the transport of a DVD player

while the remote is set to control the TV, first press

the

VID 3/TV Input Selector Button

e

and the

Mute Button

¿

at the same time. Next, release

them and press the

Play Button

`

, followed by

the

DVD Input Selector Button

e

.

NOTES:

•

To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through and

return the remote to its original configuration, repeat

the steps in the example above. However, press the

same Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

•

Before programming the remote for Volume, Channel

or Transport Punch-Through, make certain that any

programming needed for the specific TV, CD, DVD,

cable or satellite receivers has been completed.

•

The AVR 140 remote is preprogrammed at the

factory so that the

Transport Control Functions

`

operate the DVD player whenever the AVR

device is selected.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home theater system,

occasionally you may wish to reset the remote to the

original factory defaults and command codes by follow-

ing these steps. Once the remote is reset, all com-

mands or codes that you have entered will be erased

and will need to be reentered:

1. Press any of the

Input Selector Buttons

e

and

the

“O” Button

r

at the same time until the

Program Indicator

c

begins to flash amber.

2. Press the

“3” Button

r

three times.

3. The red LED under the

Input Selector

e

will go

out and the

Program Indicator

c

will stop flash-

ing and turn green.

4. The

Program Indicator

c

will remain green until

the remote is reset. Note that this may take a while,

depending on how many commands are in the

memory that need to be erased.

5. When the

Program Indicator

c

goes out, the

remote has been reset to the factory settings.
