Harman-Kardon Essential Functions of the Harman Kardon AVR 5000 Remote Control

Main Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR5000’s remote may be programmed to control up to seven devices, including the AVR5000. 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 AVR5000’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR5000 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide vari- ety 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 39 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 func- tions, depending on the product selected using the Input Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR5000. (See page 44 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)

0Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors 4(except Tape).

1IR Transmitter Window: Point this window towards the AVR5000 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared com- mands are properly received.

2Program/SPL Indicator: This three-color indicator is used to guide you through the process of programming the remote or learning commands from a remote into the AVR 5000’s remote code memory and it is also used as a level indicator when using the remote’s EzSet capabilities. (See page 24 for more information on setting output levels, and see page 39 for information on programming the remote.)

3Power Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR5000 or a selected device unit in the Standby mode. Note that when the AVR5000 is switched off this will turn off the main room functions, but if the Multiroom system is activat- ed, it will continue to function.

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.

7Learn Button: Press this button to begin the process of “learning” the codes from another product’s remote into the AVR5000’s remote. (See page 40 for more information on using the remote’s learning function.)

8Test Tone: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR5000’s output levels. (See page 24 for more information on calibrating the AVR5000.)

9Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR5000 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the fol- lowing order:

	90	80	70	60	50
	min	min	min	min		min
40		30	20	10		OFF
	min	min	min	min

Hold the button pressed for two seconds to turn off the Sleep mode setting.

Note that this button is also used to change channels on your TV, VCR and SAT receiver when selected.

ASurround Mode Selector: Press this but- ton to begin the process of changing the sur- round mode. After the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ buttons Dto select the desired surround mode (See page 29 for more informa- tion). Note that this button is also used to tune channels when the TV, VCR and SAT receiver is selected using the Input Selector 4.

BNight Mode: Press this button to activate the Night mode. This mode is available only with Dolby Digital encoded digital sources, and it pre- serves dialog (center channel) intelligibilty at low volume levels (See page 31 for more informa- tion).

CChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR5000’s output levels with an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the ⁄/¤ buttons Dto select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set button F, fol- lowed by the ⁄/¤ buttons again, to change the level setting. (See page 32 for more informa- tion.)

D⁄/¤ Buttons: These are multi-purpose buttons. They will be used most frequently to select a surround mode. To change the surround mode, first press the SURR/CH ¤ button A. Next press these buttons to scroll up or down through the list of surround modes that appear in the Main Information Display Û. These buttons are also used to increase or decrease output levels when configuring the unit with either the internal test tone or an external source. They are also used to enter delay time

settings after the Delay button has been pressed.

When the AVR5000 remote is being programmed for the codes of another device, these buttons are also used in the “Auto Search” process (See page 39 for more information on programming the remote.)

E‹ Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR.

FSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR5000’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment.

GDigital Select: Press this button to assign

one of the digital inputs #% to a source. (See page 30 for more information on using digital inputs.)

HNumeric 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, VCR or Sat receiver 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.

ITuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tun- ing and manual tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO indicator Xgoes out, pressing the Tuning buttons K8≠ will move the frequency up or down in single- step increments. When the FM band is in use and the AUTO indicator Xis on, pressing this button will change to monaural reception mak- ing even week stations audible. (See page 33 for more information.)
