INSTALLATION
a)Place the two remotes so that their IR transmitters face each other end to end, separated by about one inch. See Figure 27. The HS 500 remote’s transmitter also serves as an IR receiver during the learning process.
Figure 27 – HS 500 and Original Remote Head-to-Head
b)Place the HS 500 remote in Learning mode by simultaneously pressing and holding the Source Selector you wish to learn a code for and the Learn buttons until the Program Indicator flashes in amber, then release. See Figure 28.
Figure 28 – Learning Remote Commands
c)Press and hold the button on the HS 500 remote you wish to program with the new code until the Program Indicator remains steadily lit in amber, then release it.
d)Press and hold the button on the device’s original remote whose code you wish to “learn” until the Program Indicator flashes in green, then release it.
e)You may program additional buttons by repeating steps c) and d). To exit Learning mode, press the Learn button once. If you prefer, you may wait for the remote to “time out” and exit Learning mode on its own, but this will take about thirty seconds.
NOTE: The following buttons on the remote are not programmable,
and are not subject to learning new codes: System Off, all of the Source Selectors, Mode, Subtitle, Audio, Status, Source Video Output, Source Video Format, Learn and Light. If you learn a code into a Macro key, you will not be able to program a Macro into that key, as the learned code will take priority.
If you are unable to locate a code set that correctly operates your source device, you may still connect the source to the HS 500 and operate it using the device’s original remote control. Alternatively, you may wish to consider purchasing Harman Kardon’s optional TC 30
Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function when used to control the HS 500. However, the button may perform a very different function when used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control Function List, Table A9 in the Appendix, for a list of each button’s functions with the various product types.
If you wish, you may program Macros, which are preprogrammed code sequences that execute many code commands with a single button press. You may also program
If you make a mistake in programming your remote and you wish to completely reset it to its factory defaults, follow this procedure:
1.Simultaneously press any Source Selector and the “0” Numeric Key until the Program Indicator LED flashes in amber, and release.
2.Enter the numeric code “333”.
3.The Program Indicator LED will light steadily in green, indicating that it is resetting the remote. Do not press any buttons while the LED is lit green. When it goes dark, the remote has been completely reset.
Step Nine – Turn On the HS 500
Plugging the HS 500 into AC power places it in Standby mode, which is indicated by the Power Indicator (surrounding the Standby/On Switch) turning amber.
There are several ways in which the HS 500 may be turned on from Standby mode.
a) Press the Standby/On Switch on the top panel. See Figure 29.
Figure 29 – Standby/On Switch on Top Panel
b) Press the Open/Close Button on the top panel. See Figure 30.
