When a re-assignment is done,the LED

will blink twice to confirm your choice.

At that time, you will need to program the

Catalyst 48 to control the new component

(see

Programming Component Control).

CHANGING VOLUME LOCK

The Catalyst 48 is set to control volume

of a component through your TV while

in the TV,VCR,Cable,or Satellite mode.

However, in an Audio mode (i.e.,

TNR,

AMP,or CD), you have separate control of

your audio component’s volume.

If your TV is not remote controllable,or

if you want volume to be controlled by a

different component, you can change the

Volume Lock setting to control a volume

through a non-associated mode (e.g.,

through the cable in the TV mode).

To change Volume Lock to the

another mode:

1. On the Catalyst 48,press and hold

SETUP until the LED blinks twice,

then release

SETUP.

2. Enter

9 - 9 - 3 and then press any

mode key once (except

TV). The LED

will blink twice.

3. Now, whenever you press

VOL +,

VOL –,or MUTE,volume will be con-

trolled by your mode choice.

To change Volume Lock back to the

TV mode:

1. On the Catalyst 48,press and hold

SETUP until the LED blinks twice,

then release

SETUP.

2. Enter

9 - 9 - 3 and then press TV.

The LED will blink twice.

3. Now, whenever you press

VOL +,

VOL –,or MUTE on the Catalyst 48,

volume will be controlled by your TV.
