Remote Control Programming and Operation
This product is equipped with a powerful
remote control. As supplied, it will operate
the receiver, as well as most CD players
and tape decks manufactured by Harman
Kardon. If your equipment requires differ-
ent codes, it may be programmed to copy
the codes from most infrared remotes.
Loading Batteries
The life of the batteries for the remote
control is about one year in normal oper-
ation. If the amber
Sending
indi-
cator does not flash when remote buttons
are pushed, that is an indication that the
batteries need to be replaced.
To change the batteries:
1. Remove the back cover by sliding it in
the direction of the arrows.
2. Remove the old batteries and insert
fresh AAA type cells. Be certain to observe
the correct polarity by noting the (+)
and (–) marks on both the inside of the
case and on the battery cells. It is recom-
mended that both batteries be changed at
the same time.
3. Close the cover until it clicks shut.
NOTE:
It is important that the batteries
be replaced within ten minutes after the
old batteries are removed to avoid losing
any remote codes that have been pro-
grammed into the remote’s memory.
Remote Control Range
The remote will operate at a range of up
to 15 feet from the unit, when the batter-
ies are fully charged. The remote will
also operate at an angle of up to 30° to
either side of the unit.
Always point the remote transmitter at
the front of the unit when issuing com-
mands. If you find that remote com-
mands are not being received by the
remote, it may be necessary to use a
remote IR sensor.
Remote Programming
Programmable Keys
Many of the buttons on the remote
control may be user programmed to new
functions to operate virtually any compo-
nent in your system. Eleven CANNOT be
programmed with a new code, as they
control high-level functions of the
AVR55. These keys are
Main Power ON
,
Main Power OFF
, and the source
input keys:
TV
,
DVD
,
VID 1
,
VID 2
,
Phono
,
CD
,
Tape 1
,
Tape 2
.
Programmable keys are divided into two
groups. Some keys may be programmed
with a separate function for each of the
inputs. Thus, these keys may change
their code when the input source is
changed. (e.g., The
Play
key may trans-
mit a different code when
CD
is selected
as opposed to when
VCR
is selected.)
The keys that may be programmed with
multiple codes are the following:
