Main Remote Control Functions
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 520’s remote may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the AVR 520. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector Button e that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 520’s remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 520 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide vari- ety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instruc- tions on pages
It is also important to remember that many of the buttons on the remote take on different functions, depending on the product selected using the Device Control Selectors. The descrip- tions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 520. (See page 39 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)
aPower Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 520 or a selected device in the Standby mode. Note that this will turn off the main room functions, but if the Multiroom sys- tem is activated, it will continue to function.
bIR Transmitter Window: Point this win- dow towards the AVR 520 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared com- mands are properly received.
cProgram/SPL Indicator: This
dPower On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by press- ing one of the Input Selectors e.
eInput Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR 520 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 520. Finally, it will change the remote con- trol so that it controls the device selected. After pressing one of these buttons you must press the AVR Selector Button f again to oper- ate the AVR 520’s functions with the remote.
fAVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR 520’s functions. If the AVR 520 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 520 on.
gAM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR 520’s tuner as the listening choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is already in use will select between the AM and FM bands.
h
iTest Button: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 520’s output levels. (See page 24 for more information on calibrating the AVR 520.)
jSleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 520 will auto- matically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until

Note that this button is also used to change channels on your TV when the TV is selected.
When the AVR 520 remote is being programmed with the codes to operate another device, this button is also used in the “Auto Search” process. (See page 37 for more information on program- ming the remote.)
kSurround Mode Selector: Press this button to begin the process of changing the surround mode. After the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select the desired surround mode. (See page 28 for more information.) Note that this button is also used to tune channels when the TV is selected using the device Input Selector e. When the AVR 520 remote is being pro- grammed with the codes of another device, this button is also used in the “Auto Search” process. (See page 37 for more information on programming the remote.)
lNight Mode: Press this button to activate the Night mode. This mode is available in spe- cially encoded digital sources, and it preserves
dialog (center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels.
mChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 520’s output levels to an external source. Once this but- ton is pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set Button p, followed by the ⁄/¤ Buttons n again, to change the level setting. (See page 32 for more information.)
n ⁄/¤ Buttons: These multipurpose but- tons are used to change or scroll through items in the
qto change a digital input) and then press one of these buttons to scroll through the list of options or to increase or decrease a setting. The sections in this manual describing the indi- vidual features and functions contain specific information on using these buttons for each application.
o ‹ Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR 520.
pSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 520’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment.
qDigital Select: Press this button to assign one of the digital inputs 31 32 *Ó to a source. (See page 29 for more information on using digital inputs.)
rNumeric Keys: These buttons serve as a
sTuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tuning and manual tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO Indicator X goes out, pressing the Tuning Buttons u)≠ will move the frequency up or down in single- step increments.
