Learning

If you have programmed a product’s codes into the remote and find that some functions are missing, the AVR 3600 remote may “learn” individual codes from the product’s original remote. See page 26.

Resetting the Remote

To reset the remote to its factory defaults, simultaneously press and hold the TV Source Selector and the “0” Alphanumeric Key. When the TV Button re-lights, enter the code “333”. When the TV Button goes out, and all of the Source Selectors flash, the remote will be reset.

PROCESSOR RESET

If the unit behaves erratically after a power surge, first tun off the Main Power Switch and unplug the AC power cord for at least

3 minutes. Plug the cord back in and turn the receiver on. If this doesn’t help, reset the AVR.

NOTE: A system reset erases all user configurations, includ- ing video resolution, speaker and level settings, and tuner presets. After a reset, reenter all of these settings from your notes in the appendix worksheets.

To reset the AVR 3600, place it in Standby mode (press the front- panel Standby/On Switch so that the Power Indicator turns amber). Then press and hold the front-panel OK Button for at least 5 seconds until the RESET message appears.

If the receiver does not function correctly ofter a processor reset, contact an authorized Harman Kardon service center for assistance Authorized service centers may be located by visiting the Web site at www.harmankardon.com.

NOTE: After performing a system reset, wait at least 1 minute before pressing any Source Selectors.

MEMORY

If the AVR 3600 is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it will retain user settings for up to four weeks.
