MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE:

The AVR

630

’s remote may

be programmed to control up to eight devices,
including the AVR

630

. 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

630

’s

remote is shipped from the factory to operate the
AVR

630

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 40 – 49 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

Input

Selectors

. The descriptions shown here primarily

detail the functions of the remote when it is used to
operate the AVR

630.

Power Off Button:

Press this button to place

the AVR

630

or a selected device 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.

Power On Button:

Press this button to turn on

the power to a device selected by first pressing one of
the

Input Selectors

LCD Information Display:

This two-line screen

displays various information depending on the com-
mands that have been entered into the remote.

Input Selectors:

Pressing one of these buttons

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

630

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

630

. 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

again to operate the

AVR

630

’s functions with the remote.

AVR Selector:

Pressing this button will switch the

remote so that it will operate the AVR

the AVR

630

is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the

AVR

630

on.

Test Button:

Press this button to begin the

sequence used to calibrate the AVR

630

’s output

levels.

(See page 26 for more information on calibrat-

ing the AVR 630.)

DSP Surround Mode Selector:

Press this

button to select one of the DSP surround modes, such
as VMAx, Hall 1, Hall 2 or Theater. Each press of the
button selects another mode.

(See page 31 for more

information on surround modes.)

Logic 7 Mode Select Button:

Press this button

to select from among the available Logic 7 surround
modes.

(See page 31 for the available Logic 7

options.)

Direct Button:

Press this button when the tuner

is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a
station’s frequency. After pressing the button, simply
press the proper

Numeric Keys

to select a

station.

(See page 34 for more information on the tuner.)

Clear Button:

When programming the remote

or using the EzSet feature, press this button to cancel
the current function. When using the remote to enter
frequencies for direct tuner access, press this button
to clear previous entries.

Numeric 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, Cable or SAT 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.
These buttons are also used to enter letters and num-
bers when renaming devices in the LCD Information
Display.

(See page 47 for more information on renam-

ing devices and keys.)

Tuning Mode Button:

Press this button to

change the tuner mode between manual and
automatic. When the button is pressed so that

AUTO/STEREO

appears in the

Upper

Display Line

and in the on-screen display, only

stations with acceptable signal quality will be tuned,
and the tuner will play FM stations in stereo, when
available. In the

AUTO

mode, when the

Tuning

Up/Down Buttons

4w≠

are pressed, the unit

will automatically search for the next available station
with good signal strength. When this button is pressed
so that

MANUAL/MONO

appears in the

Upper

Display Line

and in the on-screen display each

press of the

Tuning Up/Down Buttons

4w≠

will move the frequency up or down in single-step
increments. When the FM band is in use, pressing the
button so that the

MANUAL

mode is activated will

enable you to tune stations with weak signals by
changing to monaural reception.

(See page 34 for

more information on tuner operation.)

Dim Button:

Press this button to activate the

Dimmer function, which reduces the brightness of the
front-panel display, or turns it off entirely. Press the
button once to change the display to reduce the
brightness by 50%, and press it again within five sec-
onds and the main display will go completely dark.
Note that this setting is temporary; regardless of any
changes, the display will always return to full bright-
ness when the AVR is turned on. The blue illumination
around the

Standby/On Switch

will always

remain at full brightness regardless of the setting to
remind you that the AVR is still turned on. The blue
accent lighting inside the volume control will also
remain at full brightness when the panel is at 50%,
but go out when the panel lights are fully dimmed.
