Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 210’s remote may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the AVR 210. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector button ethat corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 210’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 210 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide vari- ety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instruc- tions on pages 33–36 to program the proper codes for the products in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the buttons on the remote take on different functions, depending on the product selected using the Device Control Selectors. The descrip- tions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 210. (See page 34 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)
aPower On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by press- ing one of the Input Selectors e.
bIR Transmitter Window: Point this win- dow towards the AVR 210 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared com- mands are properly received.
cProgram/SPL Indicator: This three-color indicator is used to guide you through the process of programming the remote or learning commands from a remote into the AVR 210’s remote code memory and it is also used as a level indicator when using the remote’s EzSet capabilities. (See page 21 for more information on setting output levels, and see page 33 for information on programming the remote.)
dPower Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 210 or a selected device in the Standby mode.
eInput Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR 210 is not turned on, this will power up the unit. Next, it will select the source shown on the button as the input to the AVR 210. Finally, it will change the remote con- trol so that it controls the device selected. After pressing one of these buttons you must press the AVR Selector button f again to oper- ate the AVR 210’s functions with the remote.
fAVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR 210’s functions. If the AVR 210 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 210 on.
gAM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR 210’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is already in use will select between the AM and FM bands.
hTest Button: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 210’s output levels. (See page 21 for more information on calibrating the AVR 210.)
iSleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 210 will auto- matically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the following order:
| | 90 | | 80 | | | | 70 | | | | 60 | | 50 | |
| | min | | min | | | min | | | min | | | min | |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| 40 | | 30 | | | 20 | | | 10 | | | OFF |
| | | | | | | |
| | min | | min | | | min | | | min | | |
| | | | | | | | | | |
Note that this button is also used to change channels on your TV when the TV is selected.
When the AVR 210 remote is being programmed with the codes to operate another device, this button is also used in the “Auto Search” process. (See page 33 for more information on program- ming the remote.)
jSurround Mode Selector: Press this button to begin the process of changing the surround mode. After the button has been pressed, use the Ú/Û buttons mq to select the desired surround mode. (See page 25 for more information.) Note that this button is also used to tune channels when the TV is selected using the device Input Selector
e. When the AVR 210 remote is being pro- grammed with the codes of another device, this button is also used in the “Auto Search” process. (See page 33 for more information on programming the remote.)
kNight Mode: Press this button to activate the Night mode. This mode is available in spe- cially encoded digital sources, and it preserves dialog (center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels.
lChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 210’s output levels to an external source. Once this but- ton is pressed, use the Ú/Û buttons mq to
select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set button o, followed by the Ú/Û buttons mqagain, to change the level setting. (See page 29 for more information.)
m Ú Button: This multipurpose button is used to change or scroll through items in the on screen menus, or to change configuration set- tings such as output levels. When changing an item such as the surround mode or digital input directly, first press the function or mode to be changed (e.g. press the Surround Mode button
jto select a surround mode or the Digital button pto change the digital input) and then press this button to scroll down through the list of available choices.
n Ü Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR 210.
oSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 210’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment.
pDigital Select: Press this button to assign one of the digital inputs hi$ to a source. (See page 26 for more information on using digital inputs.)
q Û Button: This multi-purpose button is used to change or scroll through items in the on screen menus, or to change configuration set- tings such as output levels. When changing an item such as the surround mode or digital input directly, first press the function or mode to be changed (e.g. press the Surround Mode button
jto select a surround mode or the Digital button pto change the digital input) and then press this button to scroll down through the list of available choices.
rNumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a ten-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also used to select channel numbers when TV has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed.
sTuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tuning and manual tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO indicator W goes out, pressing the Tuning buttons u8 will move the frequency up or down in single-step increments. When the FM band is in use, press- ing this button when a station’s signal is weak
