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 5∫ 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 has been estab- lished from the remote room, using any of the buttons on either remote will control the remote

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
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.

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