Multiroom Operation

The AVR 510 is fully equipped to operate

as the control center for a multiroom system with optional remote external infrared (IR) sen- sors, speakers and power amplifiers. Although some multiroom installations will require the services of a specially trained installer, it is pos- sible for the average do-it-yourself hobbyist to install a simple remote room system.

Installation

The key to remote room operation is to link the remote room to the AVR 510’s location with wire for an infrared link and speakers or an amplifier. For installation instructions for Multiroom use, see page 16.

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have been made, the AVR 510 needs to be configured for multiroom operation using the steps below. Press the OSD button v to bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Press the ¤ button n five times, until the on- screen › cursor is next to the MULTI- ROOM line. Press the Set button p to enter the MULTI/ROOM SETUP menu (Figure 10).

When the MULTI/ROOM SETUP menu appears, the on-screen › cursor will be at the MULTI-ROOM line. Since this line is used to turn the system on and off, do not make an adjustment here unless you wish to turn the system on at this time. To turn the system on, press the › button 31 so that ON is high- lighted. If you do not wish to turn the system on at this time or to proceed to the next step, press the ¤ button n once so that the › on- screen cursor is next to the MULTI IN line.

At the MULTI IN line, press the ‹/› but- tons o 31 until the desired input to the multiroom system appears in the highlighted video. When the selection has been made, press the ¤ button n once so that the

›on-screen cursor is next to the MULTI VOL line.

At the MULTI VOL line, press the ‹/› but- tons o 31 until the desired volume level for the multiroom system is entered. DO NOT use the regular volume control knobs for this set- ting. When all settings for the multiroom setup have been made, press the ⁄/¤ buttons n until the on-screen › cursor is next to the RETURN TO MENU line. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD but- ton v to exit the menu system.

Multiroom Operation

When operating the AVR 510 from a remote room location where an IR sensor link has been connected to the AVR 510’s rear panel Multiroom IR Input e, you may use either the main remote control or the Zone II remote. To turn on the multiroom feed, press any of the Input Selector buttons on the Zone II remote ∫ç∂ or the main remote efg. Press the AVR Selector f∫ to turn the unit on to the last source, or any of the other Selector buttons to turn on to a specific source.

As long as an IR feed to the AVR 510 has been established from the remote room, using any of the buttons on either remote will control the remote location volume 34 î, change the tuner frequency uç, change the tuner preset `© or mute the output 38 ˚.

If the Remote IR Output jack c on the AVR 510 is connected to an IR Input jack on compatible Harman Kardon audio components such as CD, DVD or cassette players, the trans- port functions of those machines may also be controlled using the Transport Controls xɃ©˙∆ on either remote control.

To turn the system off from the remote room, press the Power Off button då. Remember that the AVR 510 may be turned on or off from the remote room, regardless of the system’s operation or status in the main room.

NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for the remote zone, any change to the fre- quency or preset will also change the station being listened to in the main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if someone in the main room changes the station, the change will also impact the remote room.

To activate the feed to the remote room, while you are in the main listening room where the AVR 510 is located, press the Multiroom but-

ton 33 on the remote. Next, press the Set button p. Press the ⁄/ ¤ buttons n to turn the multiroom feed on or off. When the multiroom system is on, the Multi indicator P will light in the Main Information Display Û, and the Main Information Display Y or OSD will display MULTI ON. Press the Set button p to enter the setting.

When the multiroom system is turned on, the input selected using the multiroom menu will be fed to the Multiroom Output jacks ‚ on the rear panel. The volume will be as set in the pre- vious selection, although it may also be adjusted using an optional IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote location or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the Multiroom Output jacks ‚.

Once the multiroom system is turned on, it will remain on even if the AVR 510 is placed in the Standby mode in the main room by pressing the Power Off button åor the System Power Control 2on the front panel. To turn off the multiroom system, even when the AVR is in Standby mode in the main listening room, press the Multiroom button 33 and then the Set button p. Press the ⁄/ ¤ buttons n so that the Multi indicator P in the Main Information Display Ûgoes out, and the Main Information Display Y or OSD will display MULTI OFF. Press the Set button

pto enter the setting and turn the unit off.

Even when the AVR 510 is turned off in the main room, the multiroom system may be turned on at any time by pressing the Multiroom button 33 , or any of the Selector buttons ∫ç∂ in the remote room.
