Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 120’s remote may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the AVR 120. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector Button e that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 120’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 120 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 27–30 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 120. (See pages 31–32 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s but- tons.)
aPower Off Button: Pressing this button turns off (places in the Standby mode) the device that was last selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors e. To place the AVR 120 in the Standby mode, first press the AVR Selector Button fand then press this button.
bIR Transmitter Window: Point this win- dow towards the AVR 120 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared com- mands are properly received.
cProgram Indicator: This three-color indi- cator is used to guide you through the process of programming the remote. (See pages 27–30 for information on programming the remote.)
dPower On Button: Press this button to turn on power to the device that was last selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors e. To turn on the AVR 120, press the AVR Selector Button f.
eInput Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR 120 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 120. 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 120’s functions with the remote.
fAVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR 120’s functions. If the AVR 120 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 120 on.
gAM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR 120’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is already in use will switch between the AM and FM bands.
hTest Button: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 120’s output levels. (See pages 18–19 for more infor- mation on calibrating the AVR 120.)
iSleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 120 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.
This button is also used to end the process of creating a macro command. (See page 28 for more information on creating macros.)
jSurround Mode Selector: Press this but- ton to begin the process of changing the sur- round mode. After the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons mq to select the desired surround mode. (See page 22 for more information.) Note that this button is also used to tune channels when the TV is selected using the device Input Selector e. This button is also used in part of the process of erase stored macro commands. (See page 28 for more infor- mation on macros.)
NOTE: The Sleep Button i and Surround Mode Selector j may also function as the Channel + and – keys when the remote is pro- grammed for use with TVs, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers or other video devices with tuners. See page 29 for information on pro- gramming the remote for Channel Control Punch-Through capability so that you may change channels on a separate device when the remote is in AVR mode.
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 120’s output levels to an external source. Once this but- ton is pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons mq to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set Button o, followed by the ⁄/¤ Buttons mqagain, to change the level set- ting. (See page 26 for more information.)
m ⁄ Button: This multipurpose button is used to change or scroll through items in the menus, or to change configuration settings 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 Selector jto select a surround mode or the Digital Select Button pto change the digital input) and then press this button to scroll through the list of available choices.
n ‹ Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR 120.
oSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 120’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 de#$ to a source. (See page 23 for more information on using digital inputs.)
q ¤ Button: This multipurpose button is used to change or scroll through items in the menus, or to change configuration settings 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 Selector jto select a surround mode or the Digital Select Button pto change the digital input) and then press this button to scroll 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.
