PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

Erasing Macro Commands

To remove the commands that have been pro-

grammed into one of the Macro buttons, follow

these steps:

1. Press the

Mute Button

and the

Macro

Button

that contains the commands you

wish to erase.

2. The

Program/SPL Indicator

c

will flash

amber, and the LED under the

AVR Selector

f

will turn red.

3. Within ten seconds, press the

Surround Mode

Selector/Channel Down Button

k

.

4. The red LED under the

AVR Selector

f

will

go out, and the


c

will turn green and flash three times before it

goes out.

5. When the


c

goes

out, the Macro has been erased.

Volume Punch-Through

The RCP 2 may be programmed to operate the

Volume Control

and

Mute

functions of

either the TV or the AVR in conjunction with any of the

devices controlled by the remote. For example, since

the AVR will likely be used as the sound system for TV

viewing, you may wish to have the AVR’s volume acti-

vated, although the remote is set to run the TV. Either

the AVR or TV volume control may be associated with

any of the RCP 2’s devices. The factory default is to

have the AVR’s volume controls active for all devices

except CD and 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


c

will flash amber.

2. Press the

Volume Up Button

; the

Program/

SPL 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


c

will blink green three times and then go out to

confirm the data entry.

Example:

To have the AVR’s volume control acti-

vated even though the RCP 2 is set to control the

TV, first press the

VID 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 RCP 2 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 RCP 2 may be programmed to operate so that the

channel control function for either the TV, cable or satel-

lite receiver used in your system may be used in con-

junction 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 or the RCP 2. 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 control associated with

and the

Mute Button

at the same time until

the red light appears under the

Input Selector

e

and the


c

flashes

amber.

2. Press the

Volume Down Button

. The


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


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 RCP 2 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 3/TV Input Selector Button

e

.

NOTE:

To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through

and return the RCP 2 to its original configuration, repeat

the steps shown in the example above. However, press

the

VID 1/VCR Input Selector

e

in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The RCP 2 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 RCP 2. For example, 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 or the RCP 2. The factory

default is to have the DVD’s transport controls active for

all devices except CD and TAPE. 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 associated with and

the

Mute Button

at the same time until the

red light appears under the

Input Selector

e

and

the


c

flashes amber.

2. Press the

Play Button

`

. The

Program/SPL

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


c

will blink

green three times and then go out to confirm the

data entry.

Example:

To control the transport of the DVD while

the RCP 2 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 RCP 2 to its original configuration, repeat

the steps in the example above. However, press the

VID 3/TV Input Selector

e

in Steps 1 and 3.

•

Before programming the RCP 2 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.

Reassigning Device Control Selectors

Although each

Input Selector

e

is normally

assigned to the category of product shown on the

RCP 2, it is possible to reassign one of these buttons to

operate a second device of another type. For example,

if you have two VCRs but no satellite receiver, you may

program the “SAT” button to operate a second VCR.

Before following the normal programming steps for

either Three-Digit entry or Auto Search code entry, you

must first reassign the button with the following steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

e

you wish to reassign

and the

Mute Button

at the same time until

the red light appears under the

Input Selector

e

and the


c

flashes

amber.

2. Press the

Input Selector

e

for the device you

wish to program into the reassigned button.

3. Enter the three-digit code for the specific model

you wish the reassigned button to operate.

4. Press the same

Input Selector

e

pressed in

Step 1 once again to store the selection. The red
