enables you to exit the on-screen menu system and return the remote to The Bridge mode, again with just one button press.

1.Simultaneously press and hold the M2 (or other unused) Macro Button and the Mute Button until the Program LED flashes.

2.Press the OSD Button (the first command exits the on-screen menu system; this macro assumes that you have not let the OSD time out).

3.Press The Bridge Input Selector (the second command selects The Bridge as the source).

4.Press the Sleep Button to end the programming process. You have now programmed the second macro, which may be used after running the first macro to exit the OSD system quickly and return the remote’s operation to The Bridge.

Resetting the Remote

To reset the remote to its factory defaults, simultaneously press and hold any Input Selector and the “0” Numeric Key. When the Program LED flashes in amber, enter the code “333”. When the green LED goes out, the remote will have been fully reset.

Processor Reset

There may be instances when you wish to fully reset the AVR 146 to its factory defaults, or the unit may behave erratically after a power surge.

To correct erratic behavior, first try turning the Master Power Switch off and unplugging the AC Power Cord for at least 3 minutes. Plug the cord back in and turn the receiver back on. If this doesn’t help, try a system reset.

NOTE: A system reset erases all user configurations, including speaker and level settings and tuner presets. After a reset, you will need to re-enter all of these settings.

To reset the AVR 146, place the receiver in Standby mode (press the front-panel Standby/On Switch so that the Power Indicator turns amber). Then press and hold the front-panel Surround Mode Button for at least 5 seconds until the RESET message appears in the display.

If the receiver still does not function correctly after a processor reset, contact an authorized Harman Kardon service center for assistance. Service centers may be located by visiting our Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

Memory

If the AVR 146 is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it will retain user settings for up to four weeks.
