Main Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR4500’s remote may be programmed to control up to seven devices, including the AVR 4500. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector button 4that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 4500’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 4500 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other prod- ucts using the control codes that are part of the remote or by learning commands from other remotes. Before using the remote with other prod- ucts, follow the instructions on pages 42-45 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 Selector Button 4. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 4500. (See page 45 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)

0Power Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 4500 or a selected device unit in the Standby mode. Note that when the AVR 4500 is switched off this will turn off the main room func- tions, but if the Multiroom system is activated, it will continue to function.

1IR Transmitter Window: Point this window towards the AVR 4500 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared commands are properly received.

2Program/SPL Indicator: This three-color indicator is used to guide you through the process of programming the remote or learning commands from a remote into the AVR 4500’s remote code memory and it is also used as a level indicator when using the remote’s EzSet capabilities. (See page 26 for more information on setting output levels, and see page 42 for information on pro- gramming the remote.)

3Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors 4(except Tape).

4Input Selectors: Pressing one of these but- tons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR is not turned on, this will 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 5again to operate the AVR’s functions with the remote.

5AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR’s functions. If the AVR is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR on.

6AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is in use will select between the AM and FM bands.

76-Channel/8 Channel Direct Input: Press this button to select the device connected to the 6-Channel Direct Inputs ￿ or the

8-Channel Direct Inputs ￿￿ (the input avail- able will depend on the selection 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 made in the surround mode setting, see page 23 for more information).

8Test Tone: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 4500’s output levels. (See page 26 for more information on calibrating the AVR 4500.)

9Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 4500 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the following order:

90 80 70 60 50

Hold the button pressed for two seconds to turn off the Sleep mode setting.

Note that this button is also used to change channels on your TV, VCR and Sat receiver when the appropriate source is selected, using the device Input Selectors 4.

ASurround Mode Selector: Press this but- ton to select any of the HALL, THEATER or VMAx surround modes. Note that depending on the type of input, some modes are not always available. (See page 29 for more information about sur- round modes.) Note that this button is also used to tune channels on your TV, VCR and Sat receiver when the appropriate source is selected using the device Input Selector 4.

BNight Mode: Press this button to activate the Night mode. This mode is available only with Dolby Digital encoded sources, and it preserves dialog (center channel) intelligibilty at low volume levels (See page 25 for more information).

CChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 4500’s output levels with an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the ⁄/¤ buttons Dto select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set button F, followed by the ⁄/¤ buttons Dagain, to change the level setting. (See page 35 for more information.)

D⁄/¤ Buttons:These multipurpose buttons are used to change or scroll through items in the on-screen menus or on the front panel or to make configuration settings such as digital inputs or delay timing. When changing a setting, first press the button for the function or setting to be changed (e.g., press the Digital Select Button Gto change a digital input) and then press one of these buttons to scroll through the list of options or to increase or decrease a setting. The sections in this manual describing the individual features and functions contain specific informa- tion on using these buttons for each application.

When the AVR 4500 remote is being programmed for the codes of another device, these buttons are also used in the “Auto Search” process (See page 42 for more information on programming the remote.)

E‹ Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR 4500.

FSet Button: This button is used to enter set- tings into the AVR 4500’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjust- ment.

GDigital Select: Press this button to assign one of the digital inputs %$*Ó to a source. (See page 33 for more information on using digi- tal inputs.)

HNumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a ten-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also used to select channel numbers when TV, VCR or Sat receiver has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed.

ITuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tun- ing and manual tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO indicator X goes out, pressing the Tuning buttons K)≠ will move the frequency up or down in single-step increments. When the FM band is in use and the AUTO indicator X is on, pressing this button will change to monaural reception making even weak stations audible or improving the audio perform- ance with noisy stereo stations. (See page 40 for more information.)

JDirect Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a station’s frequency. After pressing the button simply press the proper Numeric Keys Hto select a station (See page 40 for more information on the tuner).
