the remote zone, make certain that the system is configured for that type of operation, as shown on page 37.

For installations where A-BUS modules are used, follow the instructions provided with the A-BUS remote modules or keypads.

Additional information will also be made avail- able through the Harman Kardon Web Site at www.harmankardon.com.

RS-232 Control

The AVR is rare among A/V receivers in that it provides the capability for full remote control from compatible computers or specialized remote control systems. RS-232 programming requires specialized programming knowledge and for that reason we recommend that it only be done by qualified installers.

NOTE: The RS-232 port on this product is for use by authorized service personnel ONLY.

For more information on using the RS-232 port for remote control, visit the Harman Kardon Web site at www.harmankardon.com or contact our customer service department.

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have been made, the AVR needs to be configured for multiroom operation using the steps below. Press the OSD button Lto bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Press the button Etwice, until the on-screen cursor is next to the MULTI-ROOMline. Press the Set button Fto enter the MULTI-ROOMmenu (Figure 12).

When the MULTI-ROOMmenu 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 but- ton Eso that ON is highlighted. If you do not wish to turn the system on at this time or to pro- ceed to the next step, press the ¤ Button E once so that the on-screen cursor is next to the MULTI IN line.

At the MULTI IN line, press the /buttons

Euntil the desired Audio/Video input to the multi-room system appears in the highlighted video. When the selection has been made, press

the ¤ button Eonce so that the on-screen cursor is next to the MULTI VOL line.

At the MULTI VOL line, press the / but- tons Eor hold them pressed until the desired volume level for the multi-room system is entered. DO NOT use the regular volume control knobs for this setting. When all settings for the multiroom setup have been made, press the ¤ buttons Eonce so that the on-screen cursor is next to the BACK TO MASTER MENU line and press the Set button F. If you have no other adjustments to make, press the OSD button Lto exit the menu system.

Multiroom Operation

When operating the AVR from a remote room location where an IR sensor link has been con- nected to the AVR’s rear panel Multiroom IR Input , you may use either the Main remote control or the Zone II remote. To turn on the mul- tiroom feed, press any of the Input Selector buttons on the Zone II remote ∫ç∂ or the Main remote 456. Press the AVR Selector 5to 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 has been estab- lished from the remote room, using any of the buttons on either remote will control the remote

location volume

î, change the tuner

frequency Kè, change the tuner preset

© or mute the output

˚.

If the Remote IR Output jack

on the AVR is

connected to an IR Input jack on compatible Harman Kardon audio components such as CD, DVD or cassette players, the transport functions of those machines may also be controlled using the Transport Controls P Ƀ ©˙∆ on either remote control.

To turn the system off from the remote room, press the Power-Offbutton 0å. Remember that the AVR 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 frequency or preset will also change the station being lis- tened 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, press

the Multiroom button on the remote. Next, press the Set button F. Press the / ¤ but- tons Eto turn the multiroom feed on or off. When the multiroom system is on, the Main Information Display ˜ or OSD will display MULTI O N. Press the Set button Ftwice to enter the setting.

IMPORTANT NOTE: When an A-BUS module is connected, the AVR’s Multiroom system must be turned on before the A-BUS module is able to communicate with the AVR. Once turned on using the instructions in the preceding para- graph, the Multiroom system must remain on in order for the A-BUS module to operate.

When the unit is in the Standby mode, but ready for Multiroom or A-BUS operation, the lighting around the Standby/On Switch 3 remains blue and a MULTI ON message appears in the Lower Display Line ˜, even though the unit is “off” in the main listening room.

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 as well as the A-BUS Jack .

The volume will be as set in the same menu, although it may also be adjusted using an option- al IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote location or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the Multiroom Output jacks .

Although changes to the input source or remote room volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in the remote room that is connected to the AVR, it is also possible to change those set- tings from the main listening room. This is useful for situations where some or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor, or to take con- trol over the remote room without actually being in that room.

In addition to using the MULTIROOM menu, as shown on the previous page, you may change the source or volume in the remote zone using the remote. Press the Multiroom Button

on the remote, and when the MULTI ON/OFF message appears in the on-screen display and the Lower Display Line ˜, press the Set Button Fand then press the

/ ¤ Navigation Button Eto toggle past that message to MULTI LEVEL or

MULTI INPUT.

To change the remote room’s input source, when MULTI INPUT appears, press the Set Button F, and then press the / ¤ Navigation Button Euntil the desired input appears in the on-screen display and in the Lower Display Line ˜. Remember that only analog or PCM input sources may be selected for use with the Multiroom system. Dolby Digital or DTS sources are not available to the Multiroom system.

To change the remote room’s volume, when MULTI LEVEL appears, press the Set Button F, and press the / ¤ Navigation Button Eto change the volume setting. Note that this volume adjustment controls the level for the output to the Multiroom Audio Outputs

and for any speakers connected to the Surround Back/Multiroom Speaker Outputs
