IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 430’s remote may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the AVR 430. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector Button 3 that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 430’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 430 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instructions on pages 40 – 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 Selectors d. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 430.
aPower Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 430 or a selected device in the Standby mode. Note that this will turn off the main room functions, but if the Multiroom system is activated, it will continue to function.
1Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by first pressing one of the Input Selectors 3.
2LCD Information Display: This two-line screen displays various information depending on the com- mands that have been entered into the remote.
3Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR 430 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 430. 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 4 again to operate the AVR 430’s functions with the remote.
4AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR 430's functions. If the AVR 430 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 430 on.
5Test Button: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 430’s output levels. (See page 26 for more information on calibrat- ing the AVR 430.)
gDSP Surround Mode Selector: Press this button to select one of the DSP surround modes, such as VMAx, Hall 1, Hall 2 or Theater. Each press of the button selects another mode. (See page 31 for more information on surround modes.)
7Logic 7 Mode Select Button: Press this button to select from among the available Logic 7 surround modes. (See page 31 for the available Logic 7 options.)
8Direct Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a station’s frequency. After pressing the button, simply press the proper Numeric Keys A to select a station. (See page 33 for more information on the tuner.)
9Clear Button: When programming the remote or using the EzSet feature, press this button to cancel the current function. When using the remote to enter frequencies for direct tuner access, press this button to clear previous entries.
ANumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a ten- button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also used to select channel numbers when TV, Cable or SAT has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed. These buttons are also used to enter letters and num- bers when renaming devices in the LCD Information Display. (See page 47 for more information on renam- ing devices and keys.)
BTuning Mode Button: Press this button to change the tuner mode between manual and automatic. When the button is pressed so that AUTO/STEREO appears in the Upper Display Line # and in the on-screen display, only stations with acceptable signal quality will be tuned, and the tuner will play FM stations in stereo, when available. In the AUTO mode, when the Tuning Up/Down Buttons 4w≠ are pressed, the unit will automatically search for the next available station with good signal strength. When this button is pressed so that MANUAL/MONO appears in the Upper Display Line # and in the on-screen display each press of the Tuning Up/Down Buttons 4w≠ will move the frequency up or down in single-step increments. When the FM band is in use, pressing the button so that the MANUAL mode is activated will enable you to tune stations with weak signals by changing to monaural reception. (See page 33 for more information on tuner operation.)
mDim Button: Press this button to activate the Dimmer function, which reduces the brightness of the front-panel display, or turns it off entirely. Press the button once to change the display to reduce the brightness by 50%, and press it again within five sec- onds and the main display will go completely dark. Note that this setting is temporary; regardless of any changes, the display will always return to full bright- ness when the AVR is turned on. The blue illumination around the Standby/On Switch 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.
nChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 430’s output levels to an external source. Once this button is pressed, press the ⁄/¤ on the Navigation Button o to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set Button q, followed by the ⁄/¤ on the Navigation Button o again, to change the level setting. (See page 34 for more information.)
oNavigation Button: This single disc-like button is used to navigate through the on-screen configuration menus, to scroll through the options list and to select choices for the various settings such as delay, speakers, surround modes, digital inputs, etc. To use the button, simply press it left, right, up or down in the direction indicated by the ⁄¤‹ › icons printed on the button disc. Depending on the menu being used, pressing the button will either change a specific menu or configura- tion choice or it will change the option shown in the on-screen or front-panel display. The sections in this manual describing the unit’s individual features and configuration options contain specific information on how the navigation controls are used.
pDigital Select Button: Press this button to assign one of the digital inputs 33 36 JK to a source. (See page 32 for more information on using digital inputs.)
qSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 430’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment.
HVolume Up/Down Buttons: These controls share the common disc in the lower third of the remote. To raise the volume, press the button marked ⁄ by pressing towards the top of the remote. To lower the volume, press the button marked ¤ by pressing towards the bottom of the remote. The ‹/› buttons on the left and right sides of this disc change channels up or down when the TV, cable box or satellite Input Selectors 3 have been pressed.
