INSTALLATION

Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function when used to control the AVR 145. However, the button may perform a very different function when used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control Function List, Table A8 in the Appendix, for a list of each button’s functions with the various product types.

If you wish, 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 to the mode for that device. See pages 43 through 44 for instructions on these advanced program- ming functions.

NOTE: The AVR 145 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. The volume and mute controls operate the AVR when any device except Tape has been selected. You may change this punch-through programming at any time.

Step Nine – Turn On the AVR 145

Two steps are required the first time you turn on the AVR 145.

1.Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer visible. The Power Indicator above the two power switches should light up in amber. This indicates that the AVR is in Standby mode and is ready to be turned on. Normally, you may leave the Master Power Switch in the ON position, even when the receiver is not being used.

Figure 33 – AVR and Input Selectors

NOTE: Any time you press one of the Input Selectors on the remote (i.e., DVD, CD, TAPE, VID1, VID2 or VID3), the remote will switch modes so that it will only transmit the codes pro- grammed to operate that device. In order to control the receiver, you will need to press the AVR button to return the remote to AVR mode.

Figure 31 – Power Switches

2.There are several ways in which the AVR 145 may be turned on from Standby mode.

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

b)Press the Source Select Button on the front panel.

Figure 32 – Source Select Button

c)Using the remote, press any one of these buttons: AVR, DVD, CD, TAPE, VID1, VID2, VID3, AM/FM or 6/8CH.
