Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 5500's remote may be programmed to
operate so that the channel control function,
performed with the Sleep

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 5500 or the remote. To program the

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 42. Then
reassign the TAPE
button with the following
steps:
1. Press the Input Selector
you wish to
reassign and the Mute button
time until the red light illuminates under the
Input Selector
and the Program/SPL
Indicator
flashes amber.
2. Press the Input Selector
for the device,
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 oper-
ate.
4. Press the same Input Selector
in Step 1 once again to store the selection. The
red LED under the re-assigned Input Selector will
flash three times and then go out.
Example: To use the TAPE
button to oper-
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 anoth-
er 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 origi-
nal code).
