ZONE 2 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The Zone 2 remote is a simplified device for use in the remote room of a multiroom system with an IR receiver connected to the Multiroom IR Input. It may be used to control the power, volume and mute functions for the remote zone; select a source input for the remote zone and con- trol a compatible Harman Kardon DVD, CD or tape player that is con- nected to one of the AVR’s Remote IR Outputs.

The Zone 2 remote may also be used in the main listening room to directly control the AVR 354 and Harman Kardon DVD, CD or tape players. In that case the power, volume and mute controls will affect only the main listening area.

The Zone 2 remote requires two AAA batteries (included) that are installed in the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Gently pull down on the tab at the top of the battery compartment cover and pull the cover off the remote. Make sure to observe proper polarity by matching the + and – symbols on the remote to the corresponding symbols printed inside the compartment.

IR Transmitter: This button-shaped lens emits infrared codes when buttons on the remote are pressed. Make sure it is pointing toward the IR receiver when in the remote room, or the component being operated when used in the main listening room.

Power Off: Press this button to turn off the AVR 354. The Zone 2 remote has no Power On Button, since the AVR turns on its multiroom system automatically when any of the Input Selectors is pressed, even if the AVR itself is in Standby mode. When in the main listening room, press any Input Selector or the AVR Selector to turn on the AVR 354, as you would when using the main system remote.

Mute: Press this button to mute the AVR 354’s remote zone speakers temporarily. To end the muting, press this button or adjust the volume, or turn off the multiroom system. Unless the remote is used in the main listening area, only the remote zone will be affected.

Source Selectors: Press one of these buttons to select a source device for the remote zone. It will also turn on the multiroom system and switch the remote to operate the source device. You may select a different source device than is in use in the main room. If you select the same source as the main room, then any commands sent to the source, such as changing radio stations or skipping tracks on a CD, will affect both zones. The first press of the Radio Selector switches the AVR to the last-used tuner band (AM, FM or XM). Each successive press changes the band.

NOTE: The blank button to the left of the Radio Selector is not used, even though pressing it causes the Zone Indicator to light up.

Transport Controls: These buttons have no effect on the receiver, but are used to control many source components.

AVR Settings Button: Press this button to display the AVR’s Main Menu. It is also used to switch the remote’s device mode from a source device to the AVR.

Info Settings Button: Press this button to display the AVR’s Info Menu, which contains the settings for the current source.

Sleep Settings Button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer, which turns off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to 90 minutes. Each successive press increases the timer by 10 minutes, ending with the “Sleep Off” message.

Back/Exit: Press this button to return to the previous menu or to exit the menu system. This button may have the same effect with some source devices.

Menu Button: This button is used to display the main menu on some source devices. To display the AVR 354’s main menu, press the AVR Settings Button.

Navigation (⁄/¤/‹ / › ) and OK Buttons: These buttons are used to make selections within the menu system. These buttons are also used to operate the tuner.

Zone Selector and Zone Indicator: Each press of the Zone Selector determines whether the AVR commands will affect the main listening area (Zone 1) or the remote zone (Zone 2). The Zone Indicator will turn green when Zone 1 has been selected, and red for Zone 2. The Zone Indicator will also light briefly whenever any button is pressed.

Volume Controls: Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume in the remote zone.
