REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 125’s remote may be programmed to control up to seven devices, including the AVR 125. Before using the remote, remember to press the Input Selector Button e that corre- sponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 125’s remote is shipped from the factory to oper- ate the AVR 125 and most recent Harman Kardon products. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instructions 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 but- tons on the remote take on different functions, depend- ing on the product selected using the Device Control Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 125. (See pages 31–32 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)

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 125 in the Standby mode, first press the AVR Selector Button f and then press this button.

bIR Transmitter Window: Point this window towards the AVR 125 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared commands are properly received.

cProgram Indicator: This three-color indicator is used to guide you through the process of program- ming the remote. (See pages 27–30 for information on programming the remote.)

dPower On Button: After selecting a device by pressing one of the Input Selectors e, press this button to turn the device on. To turn on the AVR 125, 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 125 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 125. 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 f again to operate the AVR 125’s functions with the remote.

fAVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR 125’s functions. If the AVR 125 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 125 on.

gAM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR 125’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 125’s output levels. (See pages 18–19 for more information on calibrating the AVR 125.)

iSleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 125 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the following order:

This button is also used to change channels on your TV when the TV is selected, and it 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 button to begin the process of changing the surround mode. After the button has been pressed, use the /¤ Buttons mq to select the desired surround mode. (See page 22 for more information.) This button is also used to tune channels when the TV is selected, and during the process of erasing stored macro com- mands. (See page 28 for more information on macros.)

NOTE: The Sleep Button i and Surround Mode Selector j may also function as the Channel + and – keys when the remote is programmed for use with TVs, cable boxes, VCRs, satellite receivers or other video devices with tuners. See page 29 for information on programming 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 specially encod- ed digital sources to preserve dialog (center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels.

lChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 125’s output levels to an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the /¤ Buttons mq to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set Button o, followed by the /¤ Buttons mq again, to change the level setting. (See page 25 for more information.)

m Button: This multipurpose button is used 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 p to 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 setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR 125.

oSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 125’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 ·c#$ to the source currently in use. (See page 23 for more information on using digital inputs.)

q ¤ Button: This multipurpose button is used 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 p to 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.

sTuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tuning and manual tuning. In automatic tuning mode, the AUTO Indicator R will be lit, and only stations with acceptable signal quality may be tuned by pressing the Tuning Up/ Down Buttons 8u. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO Indicator R goes out, manual tuning mode is engaged, and pressing the Tuning Buttons u8 will move the frequency up or down in single-step increments. When the FM band is in use, pressing this button when a station’s signal is weak will change to monaural reception. (See page 25 for more information.)

tDirect Button: When the tuner is in use, press this button to start the sequence for direct entry of a station’s frequency. After pressing the button simply press the proper Numeric Keys r to select a sta- tion. (See page 25 for more information on the tuner.)
