Note: The Learn LED is located between the ON and OFF buttons.
Punch Through
The HTR 10’s "punch-through" function allows you to retain a function key from one Device Select "page" to another.
For example, the AMP [SURR MODE] function can still control the T778 even when the BLS DEVICE SELECTOR page is active.
Note: The HTR 10’s VOL [⯊/⯋] keys are pre-programmed with "punch-through" functionality for all Device Select pages. This means VOL [⯊/⯋] will control the T 778’s master volume regardless of the currently selected device. Similarly, the [CENT], [SUB], [SURR], and [HGT] Channel Volume controls are also pre-programmed with punch-through functionality.
To set a punch-through, perform the following steps:
- (Learning Mode) On HTR 10, simultaneously press and hold for 3 seconds both a destination's DEVICE SELECTOR key and the [EQ] key until the Learn LED turns steady Green.
- Press the required function key to punch through; the Learn LED turns Amber.
- Press the required source's DEVICE SELECTOR key twice to punch through; the Learn LED turns Green.
- Press the destination's DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit Learning Mode.
Example: Punch-through AMP [SURR MODE] key to the BLS “page”
- Source DEVICE SELECTOR page - [AMP]
- Source Function key - [SURR MODE]
- Destination DEVICE SELECTOR page - [BLS]
- Destination Function key - [SURR MODE]
- On the HTR 10, simultaneously press and hold [BLS] and [EQ] until the Learn LED turns steady Green, indicating that Learning Mode is active.
- Press [SURR MODE]; the Learn LED turns Amber.
- Press [AMP] twice; the Learn LED turns Green.
- Press [BLS] again to exit the learning mode.
Note: If you punch through a command and then subsequently delete or overwrite the Source Function key's actual command, the punched-through Destination Function key also reflects the modified command.
Copy a Command from Another Key
You can copy a command from any HTR 10 key to any other. To copy a key function:
- (Learning Mode) On HTR 10, simultaneously press and hold for 3 seconds both a destination's DEVICE SELECTOR key and the [EQ] key until the Learn LED turns steady Green.
- Press the function key to be assigned the command; the Learn LED turns Amber,
- Press the required source's DEVICE SELECTOR key.
- Press the required source's Function key; the Learn LED turns Green.
- Press the destination's DEVICE SELECTOR key again to exit Learning Mode.
Example: Copy the Pause command from the CD page to the AMP [⏸] button
- Source DEVICE SELECTOR page - [BLS]
- Source Function key - [ II ]
- Destination DEVICE SELECTOR page - [AUX]
- Destination Function key - [ II ]
- On the HTR 10, simultaneously press and hold [AUX] and [EQ] until the Learn LED turns steady Green, indicating that Learning Mode is active.
- Press the Pause [⏸] key; the Learn LED turns Amber.
- Press [BLS], then press Pause [⏸]; the Learn LED turns Green.
- Press [AUX] again to exit the learning mode.
Difference between Copy and Punch-through commands
- The copy and punch-through functions are similar. However, if you copy a command and then delete or overwrite the original (source-key) command, the copied-to key’s command remains unchanged.
- If you punch through to a command and then delete or overwrite the original (source-key) command, the punched-through functions also change accordingly.
