10 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR’s remote may be
programmed to control up to seven devices,
including the AVR. Before using the remote, it is
important to remember to press the Input
Selector button
4
that corresponds to the
unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR’s
remote is shipped from the factory to operate the
AVR 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 29 to
program the proper codes for the products in
your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the
buttons on the remote take on different
functions, depending on the product selected
using the Input Selectors. The descriptions shown
here primarily detail the functions of the remote
when it is used to operate the AVR. (See page 32
and 33 for information about alternate functions
for the remote’s buttons.)

power up the unit. Next, it will select the source
shown on the button as the input to the AVR.
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
