10 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 130’s remote may be
programmed to control up to seven devices, including
the AVR 130. Before using the remote, remember to
press the
Input Selector Button e that corre-
sponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR 130’s remote is shipped from the factory to oper-
ate the AVR 130 and most recent Harman Kardon
products. The remote is also capable of operating a
wide variety of other products using the control codes
that are part of the remote. Before using the remote
with other products, follow the instructions on pages
27–29 to program the proper codes for the products
in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the but-
tons on the remote take on different functions, depend-
ing on the product selected using the Device Control
Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail
the functions of the remote when it is used to operate
the AVR 130. (See pages 31–32 for information about
alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)
a Power Off Button: Pressing this button turns off
(places in the Standby mode) the device that was last
selected by pressing one of the
Input Selectors e.
To place the AVR 130 in the Standby mode, first press
the
AVR Selector Button f and then press this
button.
b IR Transmitter Window: Point this window
towards the AVR 130 when pressing buttons on the
remote to make certain that infrared commands are
properly received.
c Program Indicator: This three-color indicator is
used to guide you through the process of program-
ming the remote. (See pages 27–29 for information
on programming the remote.)
d Power On Button: After selecting a device by
pressing one of the
Input Selectors e, press this
button to turn the device on. To turn on the AVR 130,
press the
AVR Selector Button f.
e Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons
will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the
AVR 130 is not turned on, this will power up the unit.
Next, it will select the source shown on the button as
the input to the AVR 130. Finally, it will change the
remote control so that it controls the device selected.
After pressing one of these buttons you must press
the
AVR Selector Button f again to operate the
AVR 130’s functions with the remote.
f AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the
remote so that it will operate the AVR 130’s functions. If
the AVR 130 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the
AVR 130 on.
g AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select
the AVR 130’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing
this button when the tuner is already in use will switch
between the AM and FM bands.
h Dim Button: Press this button to activate the
Dimmer function, which reduces the brightness of the
front-panel display, or turns it off entirely.The first
press of the button shows the default state, which is
full brightness, by indicating
DIMMER FULL in
the
Lower Display Line
¯
. Press the button again
within five seconds to reduce the brightness by 50%,
as indicated by
DIMMER HALF showing in the
Lower Display Line
¯
. Press the button again
within five seconds and the main display will go com-
pletely dark. Note that this setting is temporary, in that,
regardless of any changes, the display will always
return to full brightness when the AVR is turned on. In
addition, the
Power Indicator 2 will always remain
at full brightness regardless of the setting. This is to
remind you that the AVR is still turned on.
i Test Button: Press this button to begin the
sequence used to calibrate the AVR 130’s output levels.
(See pages 18–19 for more information on calibrating
the AVR 130.)
j Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit
in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display,
the AVR 130 will automatically go into the Standby
mode. Each press of the button changes the time until
turn-off in the following order:
Note that when the Sleep function is in use, the dis-
play will dim to half brightness. This button is also
used to change channels on your TV when the TV is
selected, and it is also used to end the process of
creating a macro command. (See page 28 for more
information on creating macros.)
k DSP Surround Mode Selector: Press this but-
ton to select one of the DSP surround modes, such as
VMAx, Hall or Theater. Each press of the button
selects another mode. (See page 22 for more infor-
mation on surround modes.)
NOTE: The Sleep Button j and DSP Surround
Mode Selector
k may also function as the
Channel + and – keys when the remote is pro-
grammed for use with TVs, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite
receivers or other video devices with tuners. See page
29 for information on programming the remote for
Channel Control Punch-Through capability so that you
may change channels on a separate device when the
remote is in AVR mode.
l Night Mode Button: Press this button to acti-
vate the Night mode. This mode is available in specially
encoded digital sources to preserve dialogue (center
channel) intelligibility at low volume levels.
m Channel Select Button: This button is used to
start the process of setting the AVR 130’s output levels to
an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n to select the channel being adjust-
ed, then press the
Set Button o, followed by the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons n again, to change the level setting.
(See page 26 for more information.)
n
⁄¤
Buttons: These multipurpose buttons are
used to change configuration settings, such as output
levels. When changing an item such as the surround
mode or digital input directly, first press the function or
mode to be changed (e.g., press the
Digital Select
Button
q to change the digital input) and then press
this button to scroll through the list of available choices.
o Set Button: This button is used to enter settings
into the AVR 130’s memory. It is also used in the
setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration
and channel output level adjustment.
p ‹› Buttons: Thess buttons are not used to
operate or configure the AVR 130’s settings, but they
are used as part of the navigation system for other
devices you may operate with the remote, such as DVD
players, video displays and cable or satellite set top
boxes. (See pages 28 and 30–32 for more information
on using the AVR’s remote with other products.)
q Digital Select Button: Press this button to
assign one of the digital inputs
•ª*( to the
source currently in use. (See page 23 for more infor-
mation on using digital inputs.)
r Numeric Keys: These buttons serve as a ten-
button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions.
They are also used to select channel numbers when
TV has been selected on the remote, or to select track
numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on
how the remote has been programmed.
