5.2 Volume Redirect
Quick Programming Summary
Press and hold SHIFT until the mode window blinks 3 times.
Press MUTE or V+ or V-.
Turn the dial to the mode (X, Y or Z) that you want the volume to be directed to and press HELP to
confirm your selection.
To toggle between normal and redirected volume, press SHIFT followed by the MUTE or V+ or V-
button.
The SHIFT button will blink instead of the mode window when volume commands are being
redirected.
5.2.1 What is this used for?
This feature allows you to change the volume on the TV or Hi-Fi while controlling the PVR (TV1 or
TV2) without having to change the mode on the remote control. So, although the remote is being
used to control the PVR, all volume related commands are sent to the device you have selected
(eg. the TV), instead of the PVR.
This means that the volume on the PVR stays the same while the volume changes only occur on
the selected device. This feature is particularly useful if there is more than one room that can view
the same content at the same time. It also avoids the need for a high volume setting on the Hi-Fi to
compensate for low PVR volumes.
5.2.2 Enabling and Disabling Volume Redirect
Once programmed, the volume redirect feature can be enabled and disabled by using SHIFT in
conjunction with the volume buttons (MUTE, V+, V-). This allows you to easily switch between
normal and redirected volume control without having to repeat the programming sequence.
Note
X This function can only be assigned to the TV1 (red) and TV2 (blue) modes of the remote. It
will not work with the X, Y or Z modes.
X The TV1 and TV2 environments are independent, so changing volume in the red mode (1A,
1B, 1C or 1D) will not affect volume settings in the blue mode (2A, 2B, 2C or 2D).
X This allows you to use the same remote in separate TV1 and TV2 environments and it will
automatically redirect the volume to the correct target device for each environment as you
switch between TV1 and TV2 mode.
5.2.3 Programming Volume Redirect
To programme and use the volume redirect feature, you must first programme a device to receive
commands from the PVR Remote Control (see “Controlling TV and Audio Systems” on page 9).
1. Note the mode of the device that you would like to programme to receive the volume
commands (eg. home theatre system on X mode, TV on Y mode, etc)
2. Use the dial to select the mode (red for TV1 or blue for TV2) that is used to control the PVR
where you are now.
3. Press and hold the SHIFT button until the mode window blinks 3 times.
4. Turn the dial to the mode that you noted in step 1.
5. Press HELP to confirm your selection. (The mode window will blink three times to indicate
successful completion).
6. Return to the mode for controlling the PVR (from step 2). Volume commands will now result
in the SHIFT button blinking once and the volume changing on the selected device.
