VOLUME LOCK
With the Home Producer, you can choose which
home entertainment component controls your vol-
ume. When you originally set up the Home
Producer, each individual component operates its
own volume, provided the component has volume
control. You can change this setting so that one
component controls the volume, whether Home
Producer is in the TV, VCR, or CBL/SAT mode. For
example, to set-up the Home Producer to always
control the volume through your Amplifier in the TV,
VCR, or CBL/SAT mode:
1
Press and hold SETUP until the dis-
play screen changes from [DEVICE
and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ].
2
x 2 Press the MENU – key twice, the
display will change to [CONFIG-
URE]. Press SELECT, the display
will change to [THEATR SEL].
3
x 2 Press MENU – two more times, the
display will read [VOL LOCK].
Press SELECT, the display will
change to [UNLOCK].
4
Press MENU – one time to change
the display to [LOCK] then press
SELECT. Now press the key for the
component that will control your vol-
ume. For example, to control the vol-
ume through your amplifier, press
AMP. Press SELECT. The display
will return to [DEVICE and the TIME].
Now, when you use the volume keys on your
Home Producer, the volume will be controlled by the
specified component.
To return volume control to a component:
1
Press and hold SETUP until the dis-
play screen changes from [DEVICE
and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ].

HOW TO USE THE SLEEP KEY
The Home Producer has a SLEEP key that either
operates your component’s sleep timer or, if your
component does not have a sleep timer, it activates
the Home Producer’s built-in sleep timer, after you
activate SLEEP LOCK (see below). To use the
Home Producer’s SLEEP key, press SLEEP (i.e.,
SHIFT + MUTE).
If your component does not have a sleep timer, the
Home Producer will access its own built-in timer. To
activate it, press SLEEP (i.e., SHIFT + MUTE). The
display will change to [SLEEP 15]. To add time to the
sleep timer, press MENU –. Each press of MENU –
will add 15 minutes to the sleep timer, up to a total of
60 minutes. Once the desired time is displayed on
the LCD screen, press SELECT. The display screen
will change to [SLEEP and the TIME].
Sleep Lock
If you would like Home Producer to use its built-in
sleep timer on all of your components, you can lock
the SLEEP mode, as follows:
1
Press and hold SETUP until the dis-
play screen changes from [DEVICE
and the TIME] to [TIMED SEQ].
2
x 2 Press the MENU – key twice, the
display will change to [CONFIG-
URE]. Press SELECT, the display
will change to [THEATR SEL].
Press MENU + thrice, the display
x 3 will read [SLEEP LOCK]. Press
SELECT, the display will change to
[DISABLE].
3
Press MENU – once to change the
display to [ENABLE], then press
SELECT. The display will return to
[DEVICE and the TIME]. Now,
whenever you press SLEEP (i.e.,
SHIFT + MUTE), Home Producer
will use its own built-in sleep timer.
NOTE: When using the built-in sleep timer, pressing POWER will
cancel the sleep function.
