Harman-Kardon AVR 145 Remote Control Functions, Bridge/DMP Controls an iPod docked in The Bridge

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The AVR 145 remote is capable of controlling nine devices, including the AVR itself and an iPod docked in the optional The Bridge accessory. During the installation process, you may program the codes for each of your source components into the remote. Each time you wish to use the codes for any component, you will need to first press the Selector but- ton for that component. This changes the button functions to the appro- priate codes for that product.

Each Input Selector has been preprogrammed to control certain types of components, with only the codes specific to each brand and model changing, depending on which product code is programmed. The device types programmed into each selector may not be changed.

DVD: Controls DVD players and recorders.

CD: Controls CD players and recorders.

Tape: Controls cassette decks.

Video 1: Controls VCRs, TiVo and DVRs.

Video 2: Controls cable and satellite television set-top boxes.

Video 3: Controls televisions and other video displays.

The Bridge/DMP: Controls an iPod docked in The Bridge.

For example, if you have inserted a disc in your CD player and Iyou would like to skip ahead three tracks, but you then find that the volume is too loud, you would follow this procedure:

1.Press the CD Input Selector to switch to the codes that control your CD player.

2.Press the Play Button (in the Transport Controls section) if the disc is not already playing.

3.Press the Skip Up Button three times to advance three tracks.

4.Press the AVR Button so that you can access the Volume Controls.

5.Press the Volume Down Button until the volume level is satisfactory.

Any given button may have different functions, depending on which component is being controlled. Some buttons are labeled with these functions. For example, the Sleep and DSP Surround Buttons are labeled for use as Channel Up/Down Buttons when controlling a televi- sion or cable box. See Table A8 in the appendix for listings of the different functions for each type of component.

IR Transmitter Lens: As buttons are pressed on the remote, infrared codes are emitted through this lens. Make sure it is pointing toward the component being operated.

EzSet™ Microphone: This microphone “hears” the test tone used during the EzSet level-setting procedure. Make sure it is pointing toward the receiver when running EzSet.

Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the AVR or another device. The Master Power Switch on the AVR 145’s front panel must first have been switched on.

Mute Button: Press this button to mute the AVR 145’s speaker and headphones outputs temporarily. To end the muting, press this button or adjust the volume. Muting is also canceled when the receiver is turned off.

Program/EzSet Indicator: This LED lights up or flashes in one of three colors as the remote is programmed with codes, and during the EzSet procedure.

Power Off Button: Press this button to turn off the AVR 145 or another device.

AVR Selector: Press this button to switch the remote to the codes that operate the receiver.

Input Selectors: Press one of these buttons to select a source device, which is a component where a playback signal originates, e.g., DVD, CD, cable TV, satellite or HDTV tuner. This will also turn on the receiver and switch the remote to the codes that operate the source device.

AM/FM Button: Press this button to select the tuner as the source, or to switch between the AM and FM bands.

6-Channel Input Selector: Press this button to select the 6- Channel Inputs as the audio source. The receiver will use the video input and remote control codes for the last-selected video source.

EzSet (SPL) Button: Press this button to run the EzSet output-level calibration procedure. Make sure to point the remote toward the receiver during EzSet.

The Bridge/DMP Selector: Press this button to select an iPod docked in the optional The Bridge as the audio source. The remote will switch to the codes that operate the iPod.

Test Tone: Press this button to activate the test tone for manual out- put-level calibration.

TV/Video: This button has no effect on the receiver, but is used to switch video inputs on some video source components.

Sleep Button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer, which shuts off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to 90 minutes.

Volume Controls: Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume, which will be shown in decibels (dB) in the Message Display.

DSP Surround: Press this button to select a DSP surround mode (Hall 1, Hall 2, Theater).

On-Screen Display (OSD): Press this button to activate the on- screen menu system.

Channel Level: Press this button to set the output levels for each channel so that all speakers sound equally loud at the listening position. Usually this is done while playing an audio selection, such as a favorite CD, after you have calibrated the levels using EzSet, as described in the Getting Started section.
