Main Remote Control Functions

The AVR 1600 remote is capable of controlling up to 11 devices, including the AVR itself and a device connected to the Auxiliary Input. During the installation process, you may program the codes for each of your source components into the remote. Each time you wish to operate any component, or the AVR first press its Selector button to change the device mode to the appropriate codes.

Each Input Selector has been preprogrammed to control certain types of components, with only the codes specific to each brand and model changing, depending on which product code

is programmed. The device types programmed into each selector, except the HDMI selectors, may not be changed.

DVD: Controls Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc players and many brands of DVD players and recorders.

CD: Controls CD players and recorders.

Tape: Controls cassette decks.

Video 1: Controls VCRs, TiVo® devices and DVRs, and the Harman Kardon DMC 1000 digital media center.

Video 2: Controls cable and satellite television set-top boxes.

Video 3: Controls televisions and other video displays.

HDMI 1, 2 and 3: Each code set controls a source device (VCR/PVR/DVD player or cable/satellite set-top box) connected to one of these inputs.

AUX: Controls a device connected to the Auxiliary Input.

Any given button may have different functions, depending on which component is being controlled. Some buttons are labeled with these functions. For example, the Sleep Button is labeled for use as the Channel Up Button when controlling a television or cable box. See Table A8 in the appendix for listings of the different functions for each type of component.

IR Transmitter Lens: As buttons are pressed on the remote, infrared codes are emitted through this lens.

Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the AVR or another device. The Main Power Switch must first have been switched on.

Mute Button: Press to mute the AVR 1600’s speaker and headphone outputs. To end the muting, press this button, adjust the volume or turn off the receiver.

Program Indicator: This LED lights up or flashes in one of three colors as the remote is programmed with codes.

Power Off Button: Press to turn off the AVR 1600 or another device.

AVR Selector: Press to switch the remote to AVR device mode.

Input Selectors: Press one of these buttons to select a source device e.g., DVD, CD, cable TV, satellite or HDTV tuner. This will also turn on the receiver and switch the remote’s device mode to operate the source.

AM/FM Button: Press this button to select the tuner as the source, or to switch between the AM and FM bands.

6-/8-Channel Input Selector: Press this button to select the 6-/8-Channel Inputs as the audio source. If a signal is present at the component video inputs assigned to this source, it will be used. If not, the receiver will use the video input and remote control codes for the last-selected analog video source.

Test Tone: Press this button to activate the test tone for manual output-level calibration.

TV/Video: This button has no effect on the receiver, but is used to switch video inputs on some video source components.

Sleep Button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer, which turns off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to 90 minutes.

Volume Controls: Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume, which will be shown in decibels (dB) in the Message Display.

On-Screen Display (OSD): Press this button to activate the on-screen menu system.

Channel Level: Press this button to adjust the output levels for any channel so that all speakers sound equally loud at the listening position.

Speaker Setup: Press this button to configure speaker sizes, that is, the low-frequency capability of each speaker.

Navigation (1/57/3) and OK Buttons: These buttons are used to make selections within the on-screen menu system, or when accessing the functions of the four buttons surrounding this area of the remote – Channel Level, Speaker Setup, Digital Input or Delay.

Digital Input Select: Press this button to select the specific digital audio input (or analog audio input) to which the current source is connected.

Delay: Press this button to set delay times that compensate for placing the speakers at different distances from the listening posi- tion, or to resolve a “lip sync” issue that may be caused by digital video processing.

NOTE: The Channel Level, Speaker Setup, Digital Input Select and Delay functions may also be adjusted using the OSD on-screen menus. In addition, the EzSet/EQ system may be used to adjust the Channel Level, Speaker Setup and Delay settings automatically.

Numeric Keys: Use these buttons to enter radio station frequencies or to select station presets. Press the Direct Button before entering the station frequency.

Tuning Mode: This button toggles between manual (one frequency step at a time) and automatic (seeks frequencies with acceptable signal strength) tuning mode. It also toggles between stereo and mono modes when an FM station is tuned.
