12 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 225’s remote may be
programmed to control up to eight devices, including
the AVR 225. Before using the remote, it is important
to remember to press the
Input Selector Button e
that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In
addition, the AVR 225’s remote is shipped from
the factory to operate the AVR 225 and most
Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette
decks. 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 page 32 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 225. (See pages 36–37 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 225 in the Standby mode, first press
the
AVR Selector Button f and then press this
button.
b IR Transmitter Window: Point this window toward
the AVR 225 when pressing buttons on the remote to
make certain that infrared commands are properly
received.
c Program/SPL Indicator: This three-color indica-
tor is used to guide you through the process of pro-
gramming the remote and it is also used as a level
indicator when using the remote’s EzSet capabilities.
(See page 21 for more information on setting output
levels, and see page 32 for information on program-
ming the remote.)
d Power On Button: Press this button to turn on
power to the device that was last selected by pressing
one of the
Input Selectors e.To turn on the
AVR 225, 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 225 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 225. 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 225’s functions with the remote.
f AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the
remote so that it will operate the AVR 225’s functions. If
the AVR 225 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the
AVR 225 on.
g AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select
the AVR 225’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 Test Button: Press this button to begin the
sequence used to manually calibrate the AVR 225’s
output levels. To begin automatic calibration using the
EzSet feature, press the
SPL Button instead
of this button. (See page 21 for more information on
calibrating the AVR 225.)
i Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit
in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display,
the AVR 225 will automatically go into the Standby
mode. Each press of the button changes the time until
turn-off in the following order:
This button is also used to change channels on your
TV when the TV is selected, and to end the process of
creating a macro command. (See page 33 for more
information on creating macros.)
j Surround Mode Selector: Press this button to
begin the process of changing the surround mode.
After the button has been pressed, use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons mq to select the desired surround
mode. (See page 25 for more information.) Note that
this button is also used to tune channels when the TV
is selected and during the process of erasing stored
macro commands. (See page 33 for more information
on macros.)
NOTE: The Sleep Button i and Surround Mode
Selector
j may also function as the Channel +
and – keys when the remote is programmed for use
with TVs, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers or other
video devices with tuners. See page 34 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.
k Night Mode: Press this button to activate
the Night mode. This mode is available in specially
encoded digital sources, and it preserves dialogue
(center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels.
l Channel Select Button: This button is used to
start the process of setting the AVR 225’s output levels to
an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons mq to select the channel being
adjusted, then press the
Set Button o, followed by
the
⁄
/
¤
Buttons mq again, to change the level
setting. (See page 29 for more information.)
m
⁄
Button: This multipurpose button is used to
change or scroll through items in the on-screen menus,
or 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
Surround Mode
Selector
j to select a surround mode or the Digital
Select Button
p to change the digital input) and
then press this button to scroll through the list of avail-
able choices.
n
‹
Button: This button is used to change the
menu selection or setting during some of the setup
procedures for the AVR 225.
o Set Button: This button is used to enter settings
into the AVR 225’s memory. It is also used in the
setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration
and channel output level adjustment.
p Digital Select: Press this button to assign one of
the digital inputs
be#$ to a source. (See page
26 for more information on using digital inputs.)

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.
s Tuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is
in use to select between automatic tuning and manual
tuning. In automatic tuning mode, the
Auto Indicator
