Harman Kardon AVR 145, Service Manual

Page: 21 / 151

Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function
when used to control the AVR 145. However, the button may perform a
very different function when used to control another device. Refer to the
Remote Control Function List, Table A8 in the Appendix, for a list of
each button’s functions with the various product types.
If you wish, you may program Macros, which are preprogrammed code
sequences that execute many code commands with a single button
press. You may also program “punch-through” codes, which allow the
remote to operate the volume, channel or transport controls of another
device without having to switch the remote to the mode for that device.
See pages 43 through 44 for instructions on these advanced program-
ming functions.
NOTE: The AVR 145 remote is preprogrammed to operate the
transport controls of Harman Kardon DVD players when the AVR
or the Video 2 (cable/satellite) or Video 3 (TV) source is selected.
The volume and mute controls operate the AVR when any
device except Tape has been selected. You may change this
punch-through programming at any time.
Step Nine – Turn On the AVR 145
Two steps are required the first time you turn on the AVR 145.
1. Gently press the Master Power Switch until the word OFF is no longer
visible. The Power Indicator above the two power switches should
light up in amber. This indicates that the AVR is in Standby mode and
is ready to be turned on. Normally, you may leave the Master Power
Switch in the ON position, even when the receiver is not being used.
Figure 31 – Power Switches
2. There are several ways in which the AVR 145 may be turned on from
Standby mode.
a) Press the Standby/On Switch on the front panel.
b) Press the Source Select Button on the front panel.

c) Using the remote, press any one of these buttons: AVR, DVD, CD,
TAPE, VID1, VID2, VID3, AM/FM or 6/8CH.
Figure 33 – AVR and Input Selectors
NOTE: Any time you press one of the Input Selectors on the
remote (i.e., DVD, CD, TAPE, VID1, VID2 or VID3), the remote
will switch modes so that it will only transmit the codes pro-
grammed to operate that device. In order to control the receiver,
you will need to press the AVR button to return the remote to
AVR mode.
