Main Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 7000’s remote may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the AVR 7000. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Device Control Selector button b c that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 7000’s remote

is shipped from the factory to operate the

AVR 7000 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 34–45 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 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 7000. (See page 38 for information about alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)

aProgram Indicator: This three-color indi- cator is used to guide you through the process of learning commands from a remote into the AVR’s remote code memory. (See page 35 for information on learning IR codes.)

bAVR 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.

cCD/Tape/DVD Input 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 b again to operate the AVR’s functions with the remote.

dPower Off Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Standby mode. Note that this will turn off the main room functions, but if the Multiroom system is activated, it will continue to function.

eTest Tone: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 7000’s out- put levels. (See page 23 for more information on calibrating the AVR 7000.)

fMute: Press this button to momentarily silence the AVR 7000 or TV set being con- trolled, depending on which device has been selected.

When the AVR 7000 remote is being pro- grammed to operate another device, this button is pressed with the Device Control Selector button b 34 to begin the programming

process. (See page 34 for more information on programming the remote.)

g Ú/Û Buttons: These are multi-purpose buttons. They will be used most frequently to select a surround mode. To change the surround mode, first press the SURR/CH Û button 31 .

Next press these buttons to scroll up or down through the list of surround modes that appear in the Information Display 23.. These buttons are also used to increase or decrease output levels when configuring the unit with either the inter- nal test tone or an external source. They are also used to enter delay time settings after the Delay button 28 has been pressed.

hChannel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 7000’s output levels to an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the Ú/Û buttons g to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set button i, followed by the Ú/Û but- tons again, to change the level setting. (See page 23 for more information.)

iSet Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 7000’s memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment.

j Ü Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR.

kDigital Select: Press this button to assign one of the digital inputs ¡ á to a source. (See page 27 for more information on using digital inputs.)

l6-Ch. Direct Input: Press this button to select the component connected to the 6-Ch. direct Input £ as the source

mVideo Input Selector: Press one of these buttons to select a video input as the listening and viewing source.

nAM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR’s tuner as the listening choice.

Pressing this button when a tuner is in use will select between the AM and FM bands.

oTuner 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 V goes out, pressing the Tuning buttons x8- will move the frequency up or down in single- step increments. When the FM band is in use, pressing this button when a station’s signal is weak will change to monaural reception. (See page 29 for more information.)

pMemory Button: Press this button to enter a radio station into the AVR 7000’s preset memory. After pressing the button the MEMORY indicator Swill flash; you then have five sec- onds to enter a preset memory location using the Numeric Keys q. (See page 29 for more information.)

qNumeric 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 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.

rMacro 1/2 Buttons: These buttons are used to recall or enter the programming sequence for a preprogrammed Macro sequence. (See page 36 for more information on programming and using Macros.)

sOSD Button: Press this button to activate the On Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or adjust the AVR 7000’s parameters.

tLight Button: Press this button to activate the remote’s built-in backlight for better legibility of the buttons in a darkened room.

uDirect/Macro 3 Button: This button has two functions. Pressing it when the tuner is in use will start the sequence for direct entry of a station’s frequency. After pressing the button simply press the proper Numeric Keys q to select a station. This button may also be used to store or recall a macro sequence. (See page 29 for more information on the tuner, and page 36 for more information on programming and using Macros.).

vClear/Macro 4 Button: This button may be used to store and recall a macro; it may also be programmed for use with other devices. (See page 36 for nore information on macros.)
