REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The HK 3485 remote is capable of controlling six devices, including the HK 3485 itself. The remote is preprogrammed at the factory to operate most Harman Kardon DVD, CD and CDR players. Each time you wish to use the codes for any component, you will need to first press the Selector Button for that component. This changes the button functions to the appropriate codes for that product.

Phono: Controls only the HK 3485 when a turntable is in use.

Video 1, 2 and 3: Controls DVD players.

Tape: Controls CD recorders.

CD: Controls CD players.

AM/FM: Controls the HK 3485 and its internal tuner only.

The functions specific to the HK 3485 are always available: Main Power On and Off, Speaker 1/2, source selection, Mute, Sleep, Dimmer and the Volume Controls.

Any given button may have different functions, depending on which component is being controlled. Some buttons are labeled with these functions. For example, the Track Skip and Fast Search Buttons are labeled with the transport control icons printed on the buttons them- selves, and these functions are active when a CD or DVD player is in use. The Preset and Tuning indications appear above these buttons, and those commands are active when the HK 3485’s tuner is in use. See the Appendix for listings of the different functions for each type of component.

Speaker 1/2: Press the Speaker 1 Button to enable the HK 3485 to output audio to the speakers connected to the Speaker 1 Outputs, and press the Speaker 2 Button to enable the Speaker 2 Outputs.

This feature is a convenient way of hearing audio in more than one room at a time, although the same source material will be played through both sets of speakers.

Source Selectors: Press one of these buttons to select a source device, which is a component where a playback signal originates, e.g., DVD, CD or the tuner. This will also turn on the receiver and switch the remote to the codes that operate the source device.

NOTE: The Video 3 source device may be connected to either the front- or rear-panel connectors.
