Multiroom Operation

The AVR5000 is fully equipped to operate as the control center for a multiroom system with optional remote external Infrared (IR) sensors, speakers and power amplifiers. Although some multi-room installations will require the services of a specially trained installer, it is possible for the average do-it-yourself hobbyist to install a simple remote room system.

Installation

The key to remote room operation is to link the remote room to the AVR5000’s location with wire for an infrared receiver and speakers or an amplifier. For complete installation instructions for Multiroom use, see page 18.

Multiroom Setup

Once the audio and IR link connections have been made, the AVR5000 needs to be configured for multiroom operation using the steps below. Press the OSD button Lto bring the MASTER MENU (Figure 1) to the screen. Press the ⁄/ ¤ button D, until the on-screen › cursor is next to the MULTI-ROOM line. Press the Set button Fto enter the MULTI-ROOM SETUP menu (Figure 10).

If you do not wish to turn the system on at this time or to proceed to the next step, press the ¤ Button Donce so that the › on-screen cursor is next to the MULTI I N line.

At the MULTI I N line, press the ‹/› but- tons E until the desired Audio/Video input to the multi-room system appears in the high- lighted video. When the selection has been made, press the ¤ button Donce so that the

›on-screen cursor is next to the MULTI VOL line.

At the MULTI VOL line, press the ‹/› buttons E or hold them pressed until the desired volume level for the multi-room system is entered. DO NOT use the regular volume con- trol knobs for this setting. When all settings for the multiroom setup have been made, press the

Multiroom Operation

When operating the AVR5000 from a remote room location where an IR sensor link has been connected to the AVR5000’s rear panel Multiroom IR Input , you may use either the Main remote control or the Zone II remote. To turn on the multiroom feed, press any of the Input Selector buttons on the Zone II remote ∫ç∂or the Main remote 456. Press the AVR Selector 5∫to turn the unit on to the last source, or any of the other Selector buttons to turn on to a specific source.

As long as an IR feed to the AVR5000 has been established from the remote room, using any of the buttons on either remote will control the remote location volume î, change the tuner frequency uè, change the tuner

preset Q©or mute the output

˚.

If the Remote IR Output jack

on the

AVR5000 is connected to an IR Input jack on compatible Harman Kardon audio components such as CD, DVD or cassette players, the trans- port functions of those machines may also be controlled using the Transport Controls xɃ©˙∆ on either remote control.

To turn the system off from the remote room, press the Power-Offbutton 3å. Remember that the AVR5000 may be turned on or off from the remote room regardless of the system’s operation or status in the main room.

NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for the remote zone, any change to the frequen- cy or preset will also change the station being listened to in the main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if someone in the main room changes the station, the change will also impact the remote room.

To activate the feed to the remote room, press

the Multiroom button on the remote. Next, press the Set button F. Press the ⁄/ ¤ buttons Dto turn the multiroom feed on or off. When the multiroom system is on, the Multi indicator Pwill light in the Main Information Display Û, and the Main Information Display Yor OSD will display MULTI O N. Press the Set button twice Fto enter the set- ting.

When the multiroom system is turned on, the input selected using the Multiroom Menu will be fed to the Multiroom Output jacks on the rear panel. The volume will be as set in the same menu, although it may also be adjusted using an optional IR sensor and the Zone II remote in the remote location or on the optional audio power amplifier connected to the Multiroom Output jacks .

Once the multiroom system is turned on, it will remain on even if the AVR5000 is placed in the Standby mode in the main room by pressing the Power Off Button 3or the System Power Control 2on the front panel. To turn off the multiroom system from the main listening room, even when the AVR is in Standby mode, press

the Multiroom button and then the Set button F. Press the ⁄/ ¤ buttons D so that the Multi indicator Pin the Main Information Display Ûgoes out, and the Main Information Display Yor OSD will display MULTI OFF.

Even when the AVR is turned off (to Standby mode) and the Multiroom system is turned off too, the multiroom system may be turned on at any time from any room by pressing any of the Selector buttons 456∫ç∂on the remote in the remote room.
