REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The AVR 210’s remote

may be programmed to control up to eight
devices, including the AVR 210. Before using the
remote, it is important to remember to press the

Input Selector

button

that corresponds to

the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR 210’s remote is shipped from the factory to
operate the AVR 210 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 33–36 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 210. (See page 34 for information about
alternate functions for the remote’s buttons.)

Power On Button:

Press this button to

turn on the power to a device selected by press-
ing one of the

Input Selectors

IR Transmitter Window:

Point this win-

dow towards the AVR 210 when pressing buttons
on the remote to make certain that infrared com-
mands are properly received.

Program/SPL Indicator:

This three-color

indicator is used to guide you through the
process of programming the remote or learning
commands from a remote into the AVR 210’s
remote code memory and it is also used as a
level indicator when using the remote’s EzSet
capabilities. (See page 21 for more information
on setting output levels, and see page 33 for
information on programming the remote.)

Power Off Button:

Press this button to

place the AVR 210 or a selected device in the
Standby mode.

Input Selectors:

Pressing one of these

buttons will perform three actions at the same
time. First, if the AVR 210 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 210. 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

again to oper-

ate the AVR 210’s functions with the remote.

AVR Selector:

Pressing this button will

switch the remote so that it will operate the
AVR 210’s functions. If the AVR 210 is in the
Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 210 on.

AM/FM Tuner Select:

Press this button to

select the AVR 210’s tuner as the listening
choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is
already in use will select between the AM and
FM bands.

Test Button:

Press this button to begin

the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 210’s
output levels. (See page 21 for more information
on calibrating the AVR 210.)

Sleep Button:

Press this button to place

the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time
shown in the display, the AVR 210 will auto-
matically go into the Standby mode. Each press
of the button changes the time until turn-off in
the following order:

Note that this button is also used to change
channels on your TV when the TV is selected.

When the AVR 210 remote is being programmed
with the codes to operate another device, this
button is also used in the “Auto Search” process.
(See page 33 for more information on program-
ming the remote.)

Surround Mode Selector:

Press this

button to begin the process of changing
the surround mode. After the button has
been pressed, use the

⁄

buttons

to select the desired surround mode. (See page
25 for more information.) Note that this button
is also used to tune channels when the TV is
selected using the device

Input Selector

. When the AVR 210 remote is being pro-

grammed with the codes of another device, this
button is also used in the “Auto Search”
process. (See page 33 for more information on
programming the remote.)

Night 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.

Channel Select Button:

This button is

used to start the process of setting the AVR 210’s
output levels to an external source. Once this but-
ton is pressed, use the

⁄

buttons

select the channel being adjusted, then press the

Set

button

, followed by the

⁄

buttons

again, to change the level setting. (See

page 29 for more information.)

⁄

Button:

This multipurpose button is

used to change or scroll through items in the on
screen menus, or to change configuration set-
tings such as output levels. When changing an
item such as the surround mode or digital input
directly, first press the function or mode to be
changed (e.g. press the

Surround Mode

button

to select a surround mode or the

Digital

button

to change the digital input) and then

press this button to scroll down through the list
of available choices.

‹

Button:

This button is used to change

the menu selection or setting during some of
the setup procedures for the AVR 210.

Set Button:

This button is used to enter

settings into the AVR 210’s memory. It is also
used in the setup procedures for delay time,
speaker configuration and channel output level
adjustment.

Digital Select:

Press this button to assign

one of the digital inputs

to a source.

(See page 26 for more information on using
digital inputs.)
