You can also change the device type by pressing the key next
to the device that you are editing the code for. Pressing this
key repeatedly cycles through all available device types.
Programming Combo Device Codes
Some Combo devices (e.g., TV/VCR, TV/DVD, DVD/VCR,
etc.) will require you to set up two different Mode keys to
control both parts of the Combo device. For example, if you
have a TV/DVD Combo, you might need to set up one code
under the TV key to control the TV part and a separate code
(under any other Mode key) to control the DVD part. Other
Combo devices have one code that will control both parts of
the device.
To set up a combo device, press the HOME key, Setup, More,
Advanced, and then Device Codes as described on previous
page.
Punchthrough
This feature lets you set up how various keys on the remote
operate in various modes. For example, you might want the
Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to ALWAYS operate your TV,
no matter what mode the remote is in. Or you might want the
Play, Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record keys to ALWAYS
operate your VCR no matter what mode the remote is in.
Press the HOME key, Setup, More, Advanced, then
Punchthrough.
Then select the device you want to set
up Punchthrough, e.g., TV.

Punchthrough, cont.
At this screen you set how you want the
Volume Up/Down and Mute keys to
operate when the remote is in TV mode.
Select how you want the Channel Up/
Down keys to operate when the remote is
in TV mode.
Select how you want the Play, Stop, Pause,
REW, FF, and Record keys to operate
when the remote is in TV mode.
For example, here we've set the Volume
and Mute keys to operate the TV in TV
mode (i.e., Punchthrough Not Set); Chan
Up/Down to operate the Cable Box; and
Play, Stop, Pause, etc., to operate the DVD
Player - even though the remote is in TV
mode.
Here we've set the Volume and Mute to
operate the TV; and Chan Up/Down to
operate the Cable Box; - even though the
remote is in DVD mode. Play, Stop,
Pause, etc., will operate the DVD (i.e.,
Punchthrough Not Set for Play, etc.).
You need to set up Punchthrough for each
device you've set up in the remote. I.e.,
you need to set up how you want the
"Volume Up/Down and Mute" "Chan Up/Down" and "Play,
Stop, Pause REW, FF, and Record" keys to operate for each
device that you have set up in whatever mode the remote is set
to.
Note also that if you want some other keys to operate in a
different mode from what they normally operate in, you can
"learn" the key(s). E.g., if you want you TV's INPUT key to
still switch the TV's input when you're in cable mode, you can
learn your TV's INPUT key under cable mode.
