remote to default settings will appear as shown in
Figure 53.

Channel Punch-Through
Channel punch-through allows the Channel Up/Down
buttons to send commands to a different device than
the one that has been selected for other commands.
For example, you may wish to use a cable box or
satellite receiver as the source for a VCR, so you
would want the
Channel Up/Down Selectors
Y
to transmit commands to the cable box even though
the other button commands are programmed to
operate the VCR.
To program the DPR for Channel punch-through,
follow these steps. This example will show how to pro-
gram channel punch-through so that the commands
programmed for Channel Up/Down for the VID 3/
Cable device will be transmitted when the VID 1/VCR
device has been selected as the current device.
