Harman-Kardon HS 500 Installation Steps, Device Types for AUX and D-IN Source Selectors

INSTALLATION STEPS

At the factory, the codes to operate the HS 500 are preprogrammed. If you have other source devices in your system, follow these steps to program the correct codes into the remote.

1.Using the codes in Tables A9–A13 of the Appendix, look up the product type (e.g., TV, cable TV box) and the brand name of your source. The number(s) listed are potential candidates for the correct code set for your particular device.

2.Turn on your source device.

3.By default, the AUX Source Selector is assigned device type VCR/Tivo, and the D-IN Source Selector is assigned device type CBL/SAT. However, you may reassign the device type of either Source Selector.

To program the device type for the AUX or D-IN Source Selector:

a)Press and hold the Source Selector for at least three seconds until the Program Indicator LED flashes in green. The Source Selector button will also light up in red, and will then flash once, twice or three times to indicate the current device assignment (refer to Table 3).

b)To change the device assignment, within five seconds hold down the Mode button on the remote while pressing the Numeric Key corresponding to the desired device type.

c)Release and press the Source Selector button to record the entry.

Table 3 – Device Types for AUX and D-IN Source Selectors

Device Type	Indicated by Flashes	Numeric Key
		to Select
Tape	One	1
VCR/TiVo	Two	2
CBL/SAT	Three	3
Default (VCR/TiVo for	Ten (or many fast flashes)	0
AUX; CBL/SAT for D-IN)

NOTE: The TV Source Selector is programmable, but its device type may not be changed. Since the Disc and Radio Source Selectors control the HS 500 itself, they are not programmable. USB devices are also controlled using the HS 500’s menu sys- tem, and these Source Selectors are also not programmable.

4.To program a particular product into the TV, AUX or D-IN Source Selector, press and hold the Source Selector and the Mute Button simultaneously until the Program Indicator flashes in amber, then release. See Figure 26.

5.Enter a three-digit code from Step 1 above.

a)If the device turns off, then press the Source Selector again to accept the code, and it will flash. The remote will exit Program mode.

b)If the device does not turn off, try entering another code. If you run out of codes, you may search through all of the codes in the remote’s library for that product type by pressing the ⁄ or ¤ button repeatedly until the device turns off. When the device turns off, enter the code by pressing the Source Selector, which will flash. The remote then exits Program mode.

NOTE: When you have entered a valid three-digit product code, the Program Indicator LED will flash in green. However, if you enter an invalid product code, the Program Indicator LED will flash in red. You may then enter another code.

6.Once you have accepted a code, it’s a good idea to try using some other functions to control the device. Sometimes manufacturers use the same Power code for several different models, while other codes will vary. You may wish to repeat this process until you’ve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of the functions you frequently use. You will be able to program individual codes into the buttons on the HS 500 remote by “learning” them from the original component’s remote as explained in Step 8 below.

7.You may find out which code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source Selector and Mute Button simulta- neously to enter Program mode. Then press the Enter Button, and the Program Indicator LED will flash in green in the code sequence. One flash represents “1”, two blinks for “2”, and so forth. A series of many fast flashes represents “0”. Record the codes programmed for each device in Table 4.

8.After you have programmed a code set to operate a device, test the functions to see which ones may be missing or not operating correctly. You may “learn” individual key codes if you have the device’s original remote control by following this procedure:
