Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 2000’s remote may be programmed to control up to seven devices, including the AVR 2000. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector button 4that corre- sponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addi- tion, the AVR 2000’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 2000 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. 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 32 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 func- tions, depending on the product selected using the Input Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 2000. (See page 36 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)

0Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors 4(except Tape).

1IR Transmitter Window: Point this window towards the AVR 2000 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared com- mands are properly received.

2Program Indicator: This three-color indi- cator is used to guide you through the process of programming the remote. See page 32 for infor- mation on programming the remote.

3Power Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 2000 or a selected device unit in the Standby mode.

4Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons 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.

7Test Tone: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 2000’s output levels. (See page 21 for more information on calibrating the AVR 2000.)

8Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 2000 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the fol- lowing order:

90 80 70 60 50

min min min min min

40	30	20	10	OFF
min	min	min	min

Hold the button pressed for two seconds to turn off the Sleep mode setting.

Note that this button is also used to change channels on your TV, VCR and SAT receiver when selected.

9Surround Mode Selector: Press this button to begin the process of changing the surround mode. After the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ buttons Cto select the desired surround mode (See page 25 for more information). Note that this button is also used to tune channels when the TV, VCR and SAT receiver is selected using the Input Selector 4.

ANight Mode: Press this button to activate the Night mode. This mode is available only with Dolby Digital encoded digital sources, and it pre- serves dialog (center channel) intelligibilty at low volume levels (See page 27 for more informa- tion).

BChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 2000’s output levels with an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the ⁄/¤ buttons Cto select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set button E, followed by the ⁄/¤ buttons again, to change the level setting. (See page 28 for more information.)

C⁄/¤ Buttons: These are multi-purpose buttons. They will be used most frequently to select a surround mode. These buttons are also used to increase or decrease output levels when config- uring the unit, to select speaker configuration or to select the digital inputs. They are also used to enter delay time settings after the Delay button

has been pressed.

When the AVR 2000 remote is being programmed for the codes of another device, these buttons are also used in the “Auto Search” process (See page 32 for more information on programming the remote.)

D‹ Button: This button does not have a function with the AVR2000. When a DVD player or TV is selected, it may be used to navigate the menus of those devices.

ESet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 2000’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment.

FDigital Select: Press this button to assign

one of the digital inputs #$ to a source. (See page 26 for more information on using digital inputs.)

GNumeric 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, VCR or Sat receiver 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.

HTuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tun- ing and manual tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO indicator Wgoes out, pressing the Tuning buttons J8will move the frequency up or down in single-step increments. When the FM band is in use and the AUTO indicator Wis on, pressing this button will change to monaural reception making even week stations audible. (See page 29 for more information.)
