Main Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR4500’s remote may be programmed to control up to seven devices, including the AVR 4500. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector button 4that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 4500’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 4500 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other prod- ucts using the control codes that are part of the remote or by learning commands from other remotes. Before using the remote with other prod- ucts, follow the instructions on pages
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 Input Selector Button 4. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 4500. (See page 45 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)
0Power Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 4500 or a selected device unit in the Standby mode. Note that when the AVR 4500 is switched off this will turn off the main room func- tions, but if the Multiroom system is activated, it will continue to function.
1IR Transmitter Window: Point this window towards the AVR 4500 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared commands are properly received.
2Program/SPL Indicator: This
3Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors 4(except Tape).
4Input Selectors: Pressing one of these but- tons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR 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. Finally, it will change the remote control so that it controls the device selected. After pressing one of these buttons you must press the
AVR Selector button 5again to operate the AVR’s functions with the remote.
5AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR’s functions. If the AVR is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR on.
6AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is in use will select between the AM and FM bands.
8Test Tone: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 4500’s output levels. (See page 26 for more information on calibrating the AVR 4500.)
9Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 4500 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until
