Unless you will not be using the AVR for an extended period of time, leave the Main
Power switch set to “On.” When the Main Power switch is turned off, any settings you
have programmed will be preserved for up to four weeks.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If the PROTECT message ever appears in the Message
display, turn off the AVR and unplug it. Check all speaker wires for a short
circuit (“+” and “–” wires touching). If none is found, bring the unit to an
authorised Harman Kardon service centre for inspection and repair before
using it again.
Using the On-Screen Menu System
Although it’s possible to configure the AVR using only the remote and the front-panel
Message display, it is easier to use the on-screen menu system.
To access the menu system, press the OSD button on the remote. The Master menu will
appear.
** MASTER MENU **
INPUT SETUP
SURROUND SELECT
SPEAKER SETUP
SYSTEM SETUP
The Master menu consists of four submenus: Input Setup, Surround Mode, Speaker
Setup and System Setup.
Use the Up/Down/Left/Right buttons on the remote to navigate the menu system, and
press the OK button to select a menu or setting line, or to enter a new setting.
The current menu, setting line or setting will appear in the front-panel Message display,
as well as on screen.
To return to the previous menu, navigate to the “Back to Master Menu” line and press the
OK button. To exit the menu system, press the OSD button.
Most users should follow the instructions in this
Set Up the AVR
section to configure
a basic home theatre system. You may return to these menus at any time to make
additional adjustments, such as those described in the
Advanced Functions
section, on
pages 20 through 23.
Before you begin initial setup, all loudspeakers, a video display and all source devices
should be connected to the AVR. You should be able to turn on the AVR and view the
Master menu when you press the OSD button. If necessary, reread the
Making
Connections
section and the beginning of this section before continuing.
Program the Remote to Control Your Source Devices and TV
In addition to using the remote to control the AVR itself and the AM/FM radio, you can
program the remote to control up to eight additional audio/video source devices plus
your TV.
Once you have programmed the remote, you can switch the remote’s control mode to
access the functions for a particular source device by pressing the remote’s Source
Selector button for that device. To control the AVR, press the remote’s AVR button.
Before you begin programming the remote, review the connections you filled in on the
Input Connections and Source Buttons
table on page 13. The Source Selector buttons
are assigned to the components that you listed in the table’s “Source Device Connected”
column.
Turn on the source device you want to program the remote to control.1.
Look up the code numbers for the device in 2. Tables A11 – A17 in the Appendix. Write
all the applicable code numbers in a convenient place.
Press and hold the Source Selector button for that source device until the Program 3.
Indicator LED on the remote starts to flash, then release it. (This procedure places the
remote in the Programming mode.)
NOTE: If you’re programming one of the four HDMI source buttons, after pressing the
HDMI button you must also press the Source Selector button for the type of device that
will be controlled:
Press DVD to control a DVD player. s
Press VID1 to control a VCR, DVR or Harman Kardon digital media centre. s
Press VID2 to control a cable or satellite set-top box. s
Aim the remote at the source device and use the remote’s Number buttons to enter a 4.
code number from
Step 2, above.
If the device turns off, press the Source Selector button again to save its code. The a)
Source Selector button will flash, and the remote will exit the Programming mode.
If the device does not turn off, enter another code number. b)
If you run out of code numbers for a device, you can search through all of the codes c)
in the remote’s library for devices of its type by pressing the Up or Down button
repeatedly until the device turns off. When it does, press the Source Selector button
to save the code.
Check that other functions control the device correctly. Sometimes manufacturers 5.
use the same Power code for several models, while other function codes vary. Repeat
this process until you’ve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of
the device’s functions.
If you searched through the remote’s code library to find the code, you can find out 6.
which code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source Selector
button to re-enter the Programming Mode. Then press the remote’s OK button, and the
Program Indicator LED will flash in the code sequence. One flash represents “1,” two
flashes represent “2,” and so forth. A series of quick flashes represents “0.” Record
the code number programmed for each device in Table A7 in the Appendix.
Repeat Steps 3 – 6 for each source device you want to control with the AVR remote.
In general, the label for each button on the remote describes the button’s function when
used to control the AVR. However, the button may perform a very different function when
used to control another device. Refer to the
Remote Control Function List,
Table A10 in
the Appendix, for each button’s functions with the various product types.
You can also program the remote to perform Macros (preprogrammed code sequences
that execute many code commands with a single button press) and “punch-through”
programming (allowing the remote to operate a device’s channel or transport controls
when the remote is in another device’s mode). See
Advanced Remote Control
Programming,
on page 22, for instructions on these functions.
