Controlling Devices Requiring Separate Power On and
Off Buttons, cont.

To turn the TV off, press and release the 

POWER

button to transmit the Power Off button command. This
method can be applied similarly to any device and is
available for all Modes. Note this feature is not
supported by all codes.

VCR/DVD/DVR Punch-Through Feature

This remote allows the 6 VCR transport buttons (i.e.

PLAY

, 

PAUSE

, 

STOP

, 

FF

, 

REWIND

, and 

REC

) to

Punch-Through control from any Mode programmed
with TV, SAT or Cable codes to the last 

VCR

, 

DVD

 or

DVR

 programmed Mode you used.  Normally other

types of remotes only punch-through (from another
Mode) on the 6 VCR buttons to the device programmed
under the 

VCR 

Mode button. This is not much use if

you are using a DVD programmed under a Mode other
than VCR. For example, if you have 2 DVD, VCR or DVR
devices programmed into this remote, the last one you
accessed on the remote will be the one that has control
of the 6 VCR transport buttons when in any other
Mode.  This feature will not operate if the programmed
TV, SAT or Cable code has its own VCR transport
button control e.g. a TV Combo, SAT/PVR, etc.

Volume/Mute Control and Punch-Through Feature

This remote lets you select which device Mode controls
your Volume/Mute buttons. The remote is initially set
(factory default) for all device Modes programmed with
“

Visual

” codes (e.g. TV, VCR, DVD, DVR, SAT &

CABLE) and “

Audio

” codes (e.g. CD & AUDIO) to use

their own Volume/Mute control if present. If the
programmed “

Visual

” code has no Volume/Mute

operation of its own then those buttons will punch-
through control to the 

TV

 Mode device without

needing to change to

 TV

 Mode. Please refer to the next

page for more information.
