Notes on Using the AVR 520 Remote

With Other Devices.

•

Manufacturers may use different code sets

for the same product category. For that rea-

son, it is important that you check to see

whether the code set you have entered oper-

ates as many controls as possible. If it

appears that only a few functions operate,

check to see whether another code set will

work with more buttons.

•

When a button is pressed on the AVR 520

remote, the red light under the

Input

Selector

e

for the product being operat-

ed should flash briefly. If the Device Control

Selector flashes for some but not all buttons

for a particular product, it does NOT indicate

a problem with the remote but rather that

no function is programmed for the button

being pushed.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 520’s remote may be programmed to

operate the

Volume Control

and

Mute

functions of either the TV or the AVR 520

in conjunction with any of the devices con-

trolled by the remote. For example, since the

AVR 520 will likely be used as the sound sys-

tem for TV viewing, you may wish to have the

AVR 520’s volume activated, although the

remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 520

or TV volume control may be associated with

any of the remote’s devices.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

and note that the

Program/SPL Indicator

c

will flash

amber.

2. Press the

Volume Up Button

and

note that the


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


c

will blink

green three times and then go out to confirm

the data entry.

Example:

To have the AVR 520’s volume

control activated even though the remote is

set to control the TV, first press the

Video/TV Input Selector

e

and the

Mute Button

at the same time. Next,

press the

Volume Up Button

, fol-

lowed 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


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 controlled by the

remote. For example, while using and controlling

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 520 or

the remote. To program the remote for Channel

Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector Button

e

for

the device you wish to have the channel con-

trol associated with and the

Mute Button

at the same time until the red light

appears under the

Input Selector

e

and

the

Program/ SPL Indicator

c

flashes

amber.

2. Press the

Volume Down Button

. The


c

will stop flash-

ing and stay amber.

3. Press and release the

Input Selector

Button

e

for the device that will be used

to change the channels. The

Program/SPL

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/TV 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

VID 1/VCR

Input Selector

in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through


operate so that the

Transport Control

Functions

z

(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

example, while using and controlling the TV, you

may wish to start or stop your VCR or DVD with-

out having to change the device selected by the

AVR 520 or the remote.To program the remote

for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow

these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

e

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

e

and the

Program/

SPL Indicator

c

flashes amber.

2. Press the

Play Button

z

. The

Program/

SPL Indicator

c

will stop flashing and

stay amber.

3. Press and release the

Input Selector

Button

e

for the device that will be used

to change the channels. The

Program/SPL

Indicator

c

will blink green three times

and 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 2/TV Input Selector

Button

e

and the

Mute Button

at

the same time. Next, release them and press

the

Play Button

z

, followed by the

DVD

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

VID 2/TV

Input Selector

in Steps 1 and 3.

NOTE:

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.
