Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home-theater
system, occasionally you may wish to totally
reprogram the remote control without the con-
fusion 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:
