Appendix

Punch Through

Advanced feature that enables you to operate Volume,
Channel or Transport Control functions of one device
while in another mode.

Set-Up Code Number

The three-digit number that is used to program the remote
control for your particular manufacturer or brand of audio/
video equipment. Set-Up Code numbers are located in
tables in the appendix on pages 33 - 50 of the instruction
manual. Set-Up Code numbers are categorized by type of
device, e.g. TV, VCR, Audio, CD, DVD, Cable, AUX and
Satellite.

More than one Set-Up Code number may work with your
device. You should test the functions for each of the Set-Up
Code numbers that work with your device to determine the
best Set-Up Code number for your particular device.

Note: Some devices, such as CD players and DVD Decks that
do not have POWER buttons on their original remote controls,
may not shut off during programming. For these devices, it may
be necessary to first store the Set-Up Code number and then test
functions like PLAY, STOP, etc., to determine if the correct Set-
Up Code number has been selected.

Transport Control

Buttons that correspond to the PLAY, STOP, REWIND,
FAST FORWARD, PAUSE, SEARCH/SKIP and RECORD
functions on your audio/video equipment.
