Harman-Kardon AVR 3600 STEP TWELVE – Program Sources Into the Remote, Learning, Installation

INSTALLATION

Leave the Zone Selector Switch at the bottom in the Zone 1 position for normal use.

If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button on the remote does not cause the Setup Button or one of the Source Selectors to light, check or replace the batteries.

STEP TWELVE – Program Sources Into the Remote

The AVR 3600 remote may be programmed to control many brands and models of DVD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, the Harman Kardon DMC 1000 digital media center and TVs. It is also preprogrammed to operate your iPod when docked in The Bridge III.

To access the functions for a particular device, switch the remote’s device mode. Press the Setup Button to access the codes that control the receiver, or the Source Selector Buttons to access the codes for the devices programmed into the remote.

Follow these steps to program the correct codes for each source device into the remote:

1.Look up the codes for the product type (e.g., DVD, cable TV box) and the brand name of your source in Tables A14– A24 of the Appendix.

NOTE: The AUX Source Selector is used for the CD, HDTV, PVD recorder, TiVo and VCR device types. Similarly, the Cable/SAT Source Selector is used for either a cable or satel- lite TV set-top box. The first digit of the product code indicates the device type.

2.Turn on your source device.

3.Place the remote in program mode: Press and hold the Source Selector as it turns red, goes dark, and turns red again. Then release it.

Optional: To reassign a Source Selector’s device type (e.g., if there are two DVD players in the system), press the Source Selector for the new device type now. For example, to reassign the Cable/Sat Source Selector to operate a DVD player, first press and hold the Cable/Sat Button, then press the DVD Button.

The remote is preprogrammed at the factory to operate a Harman Kardon Blu-ray Disc™ player when in DVD device mode. It is not necessary to change the device type to program a DVD player’s codes.

4.Enter a code from Step 1, above.

a)If the device turns off, press the Source Selector again to save the code. It will flash and the remote will exit Program mode.

b)If the device does not turn off, enter another code. If you run out of codes, search through all of the codes in the remote’s library for that product type by pressing the 1 or 5Button repeatedly until the device turns off. When the device turns off, save the code by pressing the Source Selector. It will flash, and the remote will exit Program mode.

5.Check that other functions control the device correctly. Sometimes manufacturers use the same Power code for several models, while other codes vary. Repeat this process until you’ve pro- grammed a satisfactory code set that operates most functions.

6.Find out which code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source Selector to enter the Program mode. Press the OK Button, and the Source Selector will flash in the code sequence. One flash represents “1”, two flashes for “2”, and so forth. A series of many fast flashes represents “0”. Record the codes programmed for each device in Table A9 in the appendix.

Learning

You may “learn” individual key codes if you have the device’s original remote control by following this procedure:

a)Place the two remotes with their IR transmitters facing each other, about one inch apart. See Figure 18.

Figure 18 – AVR and Device Remotes “Head to Head”

b)Press the destination Source Selector, then press and hold the Learn Button until the Source Selector lights up.

c)Press the destination button, and the Source Selector will flash once. You may learn a new code into the following buttons: Device Power On/Off, Alphanumeric Keys, Last Button, Back/Exit Button, Menu Button, 1/57/3Navigation Buttons, OK Button, Disc Menu Button, the four Soft key Buttons, Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down, Mute and the Transport Controls (including Record).

d)Press and hold the source button until the Source Selector flashes three times.

e)Program additional buttons by repeating steps c) and d). Press the Learn Button once to exit Learning mode, or wait for the remote to “time out” and exit Learning mode on its own after about 30 seconds.

Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function when used to control the AVR 3600. However, the button may perform a different function when used to control another device. Refer to the Remote Control Function List, Table A13 in the Appendix.

Activities are preprogrammed code sequences that execute many code commands with a single button press. “Punch-through” programming allows the remote to operate a device’s channel or transport controls with the remote in another device’s mode. See page 38 for instructions on these advanced programming functions.

STEP THIRTEEN – Turn On the AVR 3600

Two steps are required the first time you turn on the AVR 3600.

1.Flip the rear-panel Main Power Switch to the “On” position. The Power Indicator on the front panel will turn amber, indicating that the AVR is in Standby mode and is ready to be turned on. Normally, you may leave the Main Power Switch on, even when the receiver is not being used.
