For example, while playing a DVD, you will want to adjust
the volume of your receiver. So, you would use the ÒPunch

may then want to adjust other functions of your Receiver
while staying in the DVD device, so you would use the
learning method described on page 19 to add those
functions to your DVD device, such as surround sound
controls, the receiver's DVD input code, the TV's power
code, etc. Everything that you need for watching a DVD on
your TV without having to jump back and forth from
Device to Device.
