Punch-Through Configuration
Punch-through is a capability of the
remote that allows the Volume controls,
Channel Up/Down buttons or Transport
keys (Play
, Stop, Record, Pause, Fast
Forward and Reverse, and Skip Up/Down)
to link to a different device. For example,
if your TV, cable box or satellite receiver
is connected through the CVR700, you
will most likely want to use the CVR700’
s
volume control commands even when the
remote has been set to issue all other
commands for the video device. “Punch-
through” enables you to easily program
the remote to do this.
Volume Punch-Through
Follow these steps to enable the Volume
Up/Down and Mute controls from one
device to be used when the remote is
otherwise programmed for a different
device.
NOTE FOR VOLUME PUNCH-
THROUGH:
The remote’s default settings
are for the CVR700’s volume controls, to
be used when any input or device is
selected, with the exception of the
Game/Cam button. There is no need to
program the remote for volume punch-
through for the CVR700’s controls with
other sources, such as DVD. To have the
CVR700’s volume commands used when
the Game/Cam device is selected, follow
these steps:
1. Press and hold the
Remote Menu

the CVR700’
s volume controls to be
active. Press the

SAVED will flash four times
and then the remote will return to
normal operation.

Returning the Volume Control
Settings to Default Operation
If you wish to remove the Volume punch-
through so that the commands for Volume
and Mute are returned to the factory
default setting, follow the steps shown
above, except that in Steps 4 and 5,
select the same device for both the
DEVICE IN USE on the left side of the
bottom line and the
PUNCH-THROUGH
device. In the example used, the display
to return the remote to default settings
will appear as shown in Figure 93.

Channel Control Punch-Through
Channel punch-through allows the
Channel Up/Down buttons to send com
-
mands to a different device than the one
that has been selected for other com-
mands. For example, you may wish to use
a cable box or satellite receiver as the
source for a VCR, so you would
want the
Channel Up/Down Controls g to
transmit commands to the cable box even
though the other button commands are
programmed to operate the VCR.
To program the remote for channel
punch-through, follow these steps. This
example will show how to program chan-
nel punch-through so that the commands
programmed for Channel Up/Down for
the Cable device will be transmitted
when the VCR device has been selected
as the current device.
