ZONE 2 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The Zone 2 remote control is used in the remote zone of a multizone system with an IR receiver connected to the Zone 2 IR Input or an A-BUS device. It may be used to control the power, volume and mute functions or to select a source input for the remote zone, and to control a Harman Kardon source connected to one of the AVR’s Remote IR Outputs or the A-BUS IR Output.

The Zone 2 remote may also be used in the main listening room to directly control the AVR 3600 and Harman Kardon DVD, CD or tape players. When the Zone Selector is pressed to switch the remote to Zone 1 mode (the Zone Indicator will turn green), the power, volume and mute controls will only affect the main listening area. To control operation for the remote zone, press the Zone Selector so that the Zone Indicator turns red.

The Zone 2 remote requires two AAA batteries (included) that are installed in the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Make sure to observe proper polarity by matching the + and – symbols on the batteries to the symbols printed inside the compartment.

IR Transmitter: This lens emits infrared codes when buttons on the remote are pressed.

Power Off: Press to turn the AVR 3600 off. The Zone 2 remote has no Power On Button, since the AVR turns on its multizone system automatically when any of the Input Selectors is pressed, while the remote is in Zone 2 mode; even if the AVR itself is in Standby mode. When in the main listening room, press any Input Selector or the AVR Selector to turn on the AVR 3600.

Mute: Press to mute the AVR 3600’s remote zone speakers tem- porarily. To end the muting, press this button, adjust the volume,

or turn off the multizone system. Make sure to switch the remote to Zone 2 mode, so that only the remote zone will be affected.

Source Selectors: With the remote in Zone 2 mode, press one of these buttons to select a source device for the remote zone. It will also turn on the multizone system and switch the remote to the source’s device mode. You may select a different external source device than that for the main room, but not different tuner bands. If you select the same source as that for the main room, then any commands sent to the source will affect both zones. The first press of the Radio Selector switches the AVR to the last-used tuner band (AM, FM or SIRIUS). Each successive press changes the band.

The DVD Source Selector may be used to operate either a Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc player, or a Harman Kardon DVD player. The default mode is to operate a Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc player. To toggle between Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc-player and DVD-player operation, press and hold the DVD Source Selector for 2 seconds. The source selector will flash twice to confirm that the remote’s mode has changed to operate the other type of disc player.

NOTE: The blank button to the left of the Radio Selector is not used, even though pressing it causes the Zone Indicator to light up.

Transport Controls: These buttons are used to control The Bridge III and many source components.

Setup Button: Press to turn on the AVR and select the last- used source. It is also used to switch the remote to AVR device mode.

Info Settings Button: In Zone 1 mode, press to display the AVR’s Info Setting’s Menu, which contains the settings for the current source.

Sleep Settings Button: Press to activate the sleep timer, which turns off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to 90 minutes. Each additional press increases the timer by 10 minutes, ending with the “Sleep Off” message.

Back/Exit: Press to return to the previous menu or to exit the menu system.

Menu Button: This button is used within the Now Playing menu for the tuner (including SIRIUS Radio), and The Bridge III, and to display the main menu on some source devices.

Navigation (1/57/3) and OK Buttons: These buttons are used to make selections within the menu system and also to operate the tuner and The Bridge III.

Zone Selector and Zone Indicator: Each press of the Zone Selector determines whether the AVR commands will affect the main listening area (Zone 1) or the remote zone (Zone 2). The Zone Indicator will turn green when Zone 1 has been selected, and red for Zone 2. The Zone Indicator will also light briefly when any button is pressed.

Volume Controls: Press to raise or lower the volume level in the remote zone.
