Programming the Remote
Transport Control Punch-Through
The AVR 4550'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 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 4550 or
the remote. To program the remote for Transport
Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector
for the device
you wish to have the channel control associated
with and the Mute button
at the same time
until the red light illuminates, under the Input
Selector
and the Program/ SPL Indicator
flashes amber.
2. Press the Play button
. The Program/SPL
Indicator
will stop flashing and stay amber.
3. Press and release the AVR
or Input
Selector button
for the device that will be
used to change the channels. The Program/SPL
Indicator
will blink green three times and
then go out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the transport of a CD player
while the remote is set to control the TV, press the
VID 2/TV Input Selector button
Mute button
at the same time. Next,
release them and press the Play button
followed by the CD Input Selector button
.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original con-
figuration, repeat the steps shown in the example
above. However, press the same 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.
Reassigning Device-Control
Selectors
Although any of the Input Selectors
mally assigned to the category of product shown
on the remote, 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 tape, you may program the TAPE
button to operate a second VCR. Before you can
start you must find out the three-digit code
number for your second device (your second
VCR) to operate, as outlined on page 41. Then
reassign the TAPE
steps:
1. Press the Input Selector
reassign and the Mute button
time until the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector
Indicator
flashes amber.
2. Press the Input Selector
whose function 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
in Step 1 once again to store the selection. The
and the
red LED under the re-assigned Input Selector will
flash three times and then go out.
,
Example: To use the TAPE
ate a second VCR, first press the TAPE Input
Selector
and the Mute button
same time until the red light glows under the
TAPE
button. Press the VCR
followed by the three-digit code for the specific
model you wish to control. Finally, press the TAPE
button again.
Important Note: Only those Input Selector
buttons
can be reassigned that replace
other buttons for devices of the same kind. So
the bottons for DVD, CD, TAPE and VCR (devices
with transport functions) can replace one
another as the Selectors for TV, CBL/SAT, and
VID 4.
To remove the Reassign function and return the
remote to its original configuration, repeat steps
1, 3 and 4 above (not 2), however, press the
same Input Selector button
and 4 (i.e. re-program the button with its
original code).
Resetting the Remote Memory
As you add components to your home-theater
is nor-
system, occasionally you may wish to totally
reprogram the remote control without the confu-
sion of any commands, macros or "Punch-
Through" programming that you may have done.
To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to the
original factory defaults and command codes by
following these steps. Note, however, that once
the remote is reset, all commands or codes that
you have entered will be erased and will need to
be re-entered:
