BDS
Programming Remote Control "Punch-Through" Commands
After programming the remote to control an auxiliary (Aux) component, you can also
program it so it will control the Aux component's channel up/down and transport
functions (Play, Pause, etc.) even when the remote is not in the Aux-control mode. For
example, if the remote is programmed to operate your TV in the Aux control mode, you
can also have the TV's channel +/– functions "punch through" and operate even when
the remote is in the Disc, Radio or iPod control modes.
1. Press and hold the button for the main device the remote will be operating. The
button will light up, go dark and then light up again. Release the button.
2. Select the type of punch-through programming.
a) For "punch-through" channel control, press the Channel Up button.
b) For "punch-through" transport control, press the Play button.
3. Press the Aux button. The original source button will flash to confirm.
You can repeat Step 1 – Step 3 for any of the remote's source-selector buttons (Aux,
Radio etc.). NOTE: "Punch-through" channel and transport commands will override the
existing commands for those buttons in the source modes you program.
To undo "punch-through" programming, follow the same steps as above, but press the
same source selector button in Step 1 and Step 3.
Using the Remote After it is Programmed
Pressing the remote's Aux source-selector button will put the remote into the auxiliary-
control mode, and it will control the auxiliary component(s) via the codes you have
programmed into it.
To switch the remote back to the BDS receiver-control mode from the auxiliary-control
mode, press any one of these buttons: Disc, Radio, iPod or Home.
