PROGRAMMING THE MAIN REMOTE
• When a button is pressed on the AVR 340 remote,
the red light under the Input Selector ef for
the product being operated should flash briefly. If
the Device Control Selector flashes for some but
not all buttons for a particular product, it indicates
that no function is programmed for the button
being pushed.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 340's remote may be programmed to oper-
ate the Volume Control and Mute
tions of either the TV or the AVR 340 in conjunction
with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For
example, since the AVR 340 will likely be used as the
sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have
the AVR 340's volume activated, although the remote
is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 340 or TV volume
control may be associated with any of the remote's
devices. The factory default setting is to have the
AVR 340's volume activated for all devices except
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
Program Indicator c will flash amber.
2. Press the Volume Up Button
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 Program Indicator c
will blink green three times and then go out to con-
firm the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR 340's volume control
activated even though the remote is set to control
the TV, first press the Video 3/TV Input Selector
e and the Mute Button
at the same time.
Next, press the Volume Up Button
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

The AVR 340's remote may be programmed to 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 con-
trolled by the remote. For example, while using and con-
trolling 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 340 or the remote.

3. Press and release the Input Selector Button e
for the device that will be used to change the
channels. The Program Indicator c will blink

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
Cable/Sat Input Selector Button e.

and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat
the steps shown in the example above. However, press
the same Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 340'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 exam-
ple, 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 340 or the remote. The

factory default setting is to have the DVD's transport
controls activated when the AVR, VID2/CABLE or SAT
or VID3/TV devices have been selected. To program
the remote for Transport Control Punch-Through, follow
these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector ef for the device
you wish to have the channel control associated with

nels. The Program Indicator c will blink green
three times and then go out to confirm the data entry.

As you add components to your home theater system,
occasionally you may wish to reset the remote to the
original factory defaults and command codes by
following these steps. Once the remote is reset, all
commands or codes that you have entered will be
erased and will need to be reentered:
1. Press any of the Input Selector Buttons e and
the "O" Button r at the same time until the
Program Indicator c begins to flash amber.
2. Press the "3" Button r three times.
3. The red LED under the Input Selector e will go
out and the Program Indicator c will stop flash-
ing and turn green.
4. The Program Indicator c will remain green until
the remote is reset. Note that this may take a while,
depending on how many commands are in the
memory that need to be erased.
5. When the Program Indicator c goes out, the
remote has been reset to the factory settings.
