Harman-Kardon AVR 1600 owner manual Step Nine Turn On the AVR, Turn on your source device

INSTALLATION

While the DVD Source Selector may be used to operate either a Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc player or a Harman Kardon DVD player, the default mode is to operate a Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc player. To toggle between Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc player and DVD player operation, press and hold the DVD Source Selector for 2 seconds. The source selector will flash twice to confirm that the remote’s mode has changed to operate the other type of disc player.

NOTE: The remote may be easily programmed to operate the DMC 1000 digital media center, using the Video 1 or any of the HDMI Input Selectors, by following the instructions below. Select the VCR/PVR/DMC device type in number 4. Enter code 003.

If you have other source devices in your system, follow these steps to program the correct codes into the remote.

1.Using the codes in Tables A10 – A16 of the Appendix, look up the product type (e.g., DVD, cable TV box) and the brand name of your source. The number(s) listed is/are potential candidates for the correct code set for your particular device.

2.Turn on your source device.

3.This step places the remote in program mode. Press and hold the Source Selector until the Program Indicator LED on the remote starts to flash, then release it. When pressed, the Source Selector will light red briefly, go dark, and then relight when the Program Indicator LED starts to flash.

4.Program the desired device type for any of the three HDMI selectors by pressing the corresponding Input Selector:

•Press DVD to operate a DVD player.

•Press VID1 to operate a VCR or PVR, or a Harman Kardon digital media center.

•Press VID2 to operate a cable or satellite set-top box.

5.Enter a code from number 1 above.

a)If the device turns off, then press the Input Selector again to accept the code; it will flash. The remote will exit the Program mode.

b)If the device does not turn off, try entering another code. If you run out of codes, you may search through all of the codes in the remote’s library for that product type by pressing the 1 or 5 Button repeatedly until the device turns off. When the device turns off, enter the code by pressing the Input Selector; it will flash. The remote then exits Program mode.

6.Once you have programmed a code, try using some other func- tions to control the device. Sometimes manufacturers use the same Power code for several different models, while other codes vary. Repeat this process until you’ve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of the functions you frequently use.

7.Find out which code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source Selector to enter the Program mode. Press the OK Button, and the Program Indicator LED will flash in the code sequence. One flash represents “1”, two flashes for “2”, and so forth. A series of many fast flashes represents “0”. Record the codes programmed for each device in Table A7 in the Appendix.

If you are unable to locate a code set that correctly operates your source device, it will not be possible to use the AVR remote to control that device. You may still connect the source to the AVR 1600 and operate it using the device’s original remote control.

Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function when used to control the AVR 1600. However, the button may perform a very different function when used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control Function List, Table A9 in the Appendix, for each button’s functions with the various product types.

You may program Macros, which are preprogrammed code sequences that execute many code commands with a single button press. You may also program “punch-through” codes, which allow the remote to operate the volume, channel or transport controls of another device without having to switch the remote’s device mode. See pages 44 through 45 for instructions on these advanced pro- gramming functions.

NOTE: The AVR 1600 remote is preprogrammed to operate the transport controls of Harman Kardon DVD players when the AVR or the Video 2 (cable/satellite) or Video 3 (TV) source is selected. You may change this punch-through programming at any time.

STEP NINE – Turn On the AVR 1600

Two steps are required the first time you turn on the AVR 1600.

1.Flip the rear-panel Main Power Switch to the “On” position. The Power Indicator on the front panel will turn amber, indicating that the AVR is in Standby mode and is ready to be turned on. Normally, you may leave the Main Power Switch on, even when the receiver is not being used.

2.There are several ways to turn on the AVR from Standby mode.

a)Press the Standby/On Switch on the front panel.

b)Using the remote, press the Power On Button or any of the Source Selectors.

NOTES:

•Any time you press one of the Source Selectors on the remote, the remote will switch device modes. To control the receiver, press the AVR Button.

•If you do not see a picture within about one minute, refer to the Video Troubleshooting Tips on page 33.
