Update from the field....

I did some experimenting with the Volume Punch Thru last night and it does not work as described in the manual (big surprise, right?).

The manual claims that the VPT wil control the volume buttons in ALL modes, but in fact it just controls the volume in the four video modes (ie, TV, VCR, CBL and DVD), not the two audio modes (ie, CD and AUX).

The manual claims that you can only set the VPT device to TV, but you can in fact set it to any of the four video device modes, but again, NOT the two audio modes. So, you can program the remote so that your DVD player controls the volume, but not your stereo receiver. (Anyone wanna meet the rocket scientists that came up with that one?)

The biggest bummer though, is that it doesn't appear that you can override these limitations using JP1, which you can do somewhat with the 15-1994.
