REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The HK 3485 remote is capable of controlling six devices, including the
HK 3485 itself. The remote is preprogrammed at the factory to operate
most Harman Kardon DVD, CD and CDR players. Each time you wish
to use the codes for any component, you will need to first press the
Selector Button for that component. This changes the button functions
to the appropriate codes for that product.

Phono:

Controls only the HK 3485 when a turntable is in use.

Video 1, 2 and 3:

Controls DVD players.

Tape:

Controls CD recorders.

CD:

Controls CD players.

AM/FM:

Controls the HK 3485 and its internal tuner only.

The functions specific to the HK 3485 are always available: Main Power
On and Off, Speaker 1/2, source selection, Mute, Sleep, Dimmer and
the Volume Controls.

Any given button may have different functions, depending on which
component is being controlled. Some buttons are labeled with these
functions. For example, the Track Skip and Fast Search Buttons are
labeled with the transport control icons printed on the buttons them-
selves, and these functions are active when a CD or DVD player is in
use. The Preset and Tuning indications appear above these buttons,
and those commands are active when the HK 3485’s tuner is in use.
See the Appendix for listings of the different functions for each type
of component.

IR Transmitter Lens:

As buttons are pressed on the remote,

infrared codes are emitted through this lens. Make sure it is pointing

output audio to the speakers connected to the Speaker 1 Outputs, and
press the Speaker 2 Button to enable the Speaker 2 Outputs. You may
enable or disable both sets of speaker outputs simultaneously. This
feature is a convenient way of hearing audio in more than one room at
a time, although the same source material will be played through both
sets of speakers.

Source Selectors:

Press one of these buttons to select a source

device, which is a component where a playback signal originates, e.g.,
DVD, CD or the tuner. This will also turn on the receiver and switch the
remote to the codes that operate the source device.

NOTE:

The Video 3 source device may be connected to either

the front- or rear-panel connectors. To select the desired device,
press the Video 3 Source Selector repeatedly until the dot to
the left of the Video 3 Indicator in the Message Display lights
steadily (rear-panel connections selected) or flashes (front-panel
connections selected).
