Volume Punchthrough
You may nd this feature helpful if you’ve connected your components to an audio/video receiver (A/V receiver) or
amplier, but you want to use the TV’s remote control to operate the volume for a component that is connected to the
audio/video receiver. An example follows.
Let’s say you’ve connected your DVD player to your audio/video receiver. You’ve also programmed your TV remote control
to operate your DVD player. Since the DVD player gets its volume through the audio/video receiver, you would have to
bounce back and forth between two remote controls: the a/v receiver’s remote to adjust the volume and the TV’s remote
control to operate the DVD player.
The Volume Punchthrough Feature eliminates the need for you to use two remote controls and saves a button press when
you’re using the TV remote to adjust the volume. In effect, you are telling the TV remote to retrieve and send volume
commands from the A/V receiver whenever the TV remote is operating the DVD player (in DVD mode).
Therefore, after you’ve successfully set up the Volume Punchthrough Feature, whenever the TV remote is in DVD mode
(press the DVD button) and you want to adjust the volume, you only have to press the VOL + or VOL- buttons. Follow the
instructions below to set up Volume Punchthrough.
IMPORTANT: First, you must program the AUDIO button on the TV’s remote control to operate your audio receiver
or amplier. Go to page 20 for instructions. If you can’t program this remote to operate your audio receiver, Volume
Punchthrough won’t work.
While setting up Volume Punchthrough, it’s best to point the remote away from components.
1. Decide which mode the remote will be in when the volume from the audio receiver “punches through.” The mode will
be one of the component buttons (TV, DVD, SAT/CAB, VCR, or AUX/HD).
2. Press and hold the VOL- button. Keep pressing VOL- while you press and release the component button you chose in
step 1 (TV, DVD, SAT/CAB, VCR or AUX/HD).
3. Then press and release the AUDIO button since the sound will be coming from the audio/video receiver. Release the
VOL- button.
4. Now, test it by turning on your audio receiver or amplier.
5. Turn on the component that is connected to the audio/video receiver or amplier (a DVD player, for example).
6. Put the TV’s remote in DVD mode by pressing the DVD button, and play a disc.
7. Press VOL+ or VOL-. The volume from the audio receiver should increase or decrease accordingly.
Deleting All Punchthrough Commands
To delete all programmed Volume Punchthrough settings and return the remote control back to the factory defaults (TV for
all modes except AUDIO), press and hold the VOL- button (LED of the Volume Punchthrough component lights). While
holding the VOL- button, enter the code, 000, using the number buttons. All component LEDs turn on for 2 seconds and
then turn off. The remote returns to the factory settings.
Note: If an invalid button is pressed, the LED (all component LEDs or single LED) blinks 4 times and LED turns off. At this
point, you must start over.
