Main Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 435’s remote may be programmed to control up to seven devices, including the AVR. 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’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD play- ers and cassette decks. The remote is also capa- ble of operating a wide variety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote or by learning commands from other remotes. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instructions on pages 46-49 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.

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

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

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 buttons 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

available will depend on the selection 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 made in the surround mode setting, see page 24 for more information).

8Test Tone: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR’s output lev- els. (See page 27 for more information on calibrat- ing the AVR.)

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

The blue illumination around the Standby/On Button 1 will always remain at full brightness regardless of the setting to remind you that the AVR is still turned on. The blue accent lighting inside the volume control will also remain at full brightness when the panel is at 50%, but go out when the panel lights are fully dimmed.
