MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

sTransport Fast-Play/Scan Buttons: These but- tons have no direct function on the AVR 430, but they are used when the remote is programmed for a com- patible DVD, CD or tape player. Pressing these buttons will transmit a fast-play forward, fast-play reverse,

or fast-forward or -reverse scan command, according to the capabilities of the player being controlled. In the factory default setting, these buttons are preprogrammed with the remote codes for Harman Kardon DVD players so that you may control a compatible player without having to switch devices.

JMain Transport Controls: These buttons have no direct function on the AVR 430, but they are used when the remote is programmed for a compatible DVD, CD or tape player. Pressing these buttons

will transmit a stop (Í), record (Î), or pause (±) command, according to the capabilities of the player being controlled. In the factory default setting, these buttons are programmed with the remote codes for Harman Kardon DVD players so that you may control a compatible player without having to switch devices.

KTrack Skip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons do not have a direct function with the AVR 430, but when used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD changer will change the track or chapter currently being played. In the factory default setting, these buttons are programmed with the remote codes for Harman Kardon DVD players so that you may control a compatible player without having to switch devices.

LPreset Up/Down Button: When the tuner is in use, press this button to scroll through the stations programmed into the AVR 430’s memory.

wTuning Up/Down Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to change the station to one with a higher or lower frequency. When the tuner is in the MANUAL/MONO mode, each tap of the Selector will increase or decrease the frequency by one increment. When the tuner receives a strong- enough signal for adequate reception, MANUAL TUNED will appear in the Lower Display Line $ and in the on-screen display. When the tuner is in the AUTO/STEREO mode, press the button once, and the tuner will scan for a station with accept- able signal strength. When the next higher- or lower- frequency station with a strong enough signal is tuned, the frequency scan will stop and the Lower Display Line $ and the on-screen display will indicate AUTO TUNED. When an FM Stereo station is tuned, the display will read AUTO ST TUNED. (See page 34 for more information on using the tuner.)

NDisc Skip Button: This button has no direct function for the AVR 430 but may be used to change the disc in a CD or DVD changer when the remote is programmed for that type of device.

OProgram Button: This button is used to begin the process of programming the remote. Press and hold this button for three seconds to place the remote in the programming mode. Once the red LED under the Set Button q lights, release the button. You may then select from the desired option. (See pages 40 – 49 for more information on configuring the remote.)

PLight Button: Press this button to activate the remote’s backlight for ease of use in darkened rooms.

QMultiroom Button: Press this button to begin the process of activating the multiroom system or to change the input or volume level for the second zone. (See page 38 for more information on the multiroom system.)

Macro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or recall a “Macro”, which is a preprogrammed sequence of commands stored in the remote. (See page 43 for more information on macros.)

Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 430 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the following order:

When the Sleep timer is in use the front panel displays indicators will dim to half brightness.

Night Mode Button: Press this button to acti- vate the Night mode. This mode is available in specially encoded Dolby Digital sources, and it preserves dialogue (center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels.

OSD Button: Press this button to activate or turn off the On-Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or adjust the AVR 430’s parameters.

Tone Control Button: This button controls the tone mode settings, enabling adjustment of the bass and treble boost/cut. You may also use it to take the tone controls out of the signal path completely for “flat” response. The first press of the button displays a TONE IN message in the Lower Display Line

$and in the on-screen display. To take the controls out of the signal path press either of the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons o until the display reads TONE OUT. To change the bass or treble settings, press the button again until the desired option appears in the Lower Display Line $ and in the on-screen display and then press either of the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons o to enter the desired boost or cut setting. (See pages 21 and 29 for more infor- mation on the tone controls.)

Mute Button: Press this button to momentarily silence the AVR 430 or TV set being controlled, depending on which device has been selected.

AM/FM Button: Press this button to select the AVR 430’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is already in use will select between the AM and FM bands.

Channel Up/Down Selector: This button has no function when the AVR is being controlled, but when programmed for use with a VCR, TV, cable box, satel- lite receiver or other similar product it will change the channel up or down. (See pages 40 – 49 for more information on programming the remote.)

Transport Play Buttons: These buttons have no direct function on the AVR 430, but they are used when the remote is programmed for a compatible DVD, CD or tape player. Pressing these buttons will transmit a forward- or reverse-play command, according to the capabilities of the player being controlled. In the factory default setting, these buttons are programmed for Harman Kardon DVD players so that you may control a compatible player without having to switch devices.

Delay Select Button: This button selects adjustments to the A/V Sync Delay and the individual channel displays. The first press of the button displays an A/V SYNC DELAY message in the Lower Display Line $ and in the on-screen display, which means that you may change the amount of time that all channels are delayed together behind the video. This enables you to compensate for the loss of lip sync that may be caused by digital video processing in your display or by television stations. To change the A/V Sync Delay, press the Set Button q while the A/V SYNC DELAY message is visible and then use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to change the setting so that the sound and the

video image are in sync. To change the delay for an individual output channel, press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o until the desired channel name is shown, and then press the Set Button q. Use the ⁄/¤ Navigation Buttons o to change the delay amount. (See page 25 for more information on delay options.)

Speaker Select Button: Press this button to begin the process of configuring the AVR 430’s bass management system. Then press the ⁄/¤ Navigation Button o to select the channel you wish to set up. Press the Set Button q and then select another channel to configure. When all adjustments have been completed, press the Set Button q twice to exit the settings and return to normal operation. (See page 23 for more information on speaker setup.)
