Harman Kardon HS 300, Service Manual

Page: 17 / 109

INSTALLATION STEPS
At the factory, the codes to operate the HS 300 are preprogrammed.
If you have other source devices in your system, follow these steps to
program the correct codes into the remote.
1. Using the codes in Tables A9–A13 of the Appendix, look up the
product type (e.g., TV, cable TV box) and the brand name of your
source. The number(s) listed are potential candidates for the correct
code set for your particular device.
2. Turn on your source device.
3. By default, the AUX Source Selector is assigned device type
VCR/Tivo, and the D-IN Source Selector is assigned device type
CBL/SAT. However, you may reassign the device type of either
Source Selector.
To program the device type for the AUX or D-IN Source Selector:
a) Press and hold the Source Selector for at least three seconds until
the Program Indicator LED flashes in green. The Source Selector
button will also light up in red, and will then flash once, twice or three
times to indicate the current device assignment (refer to Table 3).
b) To change the device assignment, within five seconds hold down
the Mode button on the remote while pressing the Numeric Key
corresponding to the desired device type.
c) Release and press the Source Selector button to record the entry.
Table 3 – Device Types for AUX and D-IN Source
Selectors
NOTE: The TV Source Selector is programmable, but its device
type may not be changed. Since the Disc and Radio Source
Selectors control the HS 300 itself, they are not programmable.
USB devices are also controlled using the HS 300’s menu sys-
tem, and these Source Selectors are also not programmable.
4. To program a particular product into the TV, AUX or D-IN Source
Selector, press and hold the Source Selector and the Mute Button
simultaneously until the Program Indicator flashes in amber, then
release. See Figure 26.

5. Enter a three-digit code from Step 1 above.
a) If the device turns off, then press the Source Selector again to
accept the code, and it will flash. The remote will exit Program
mode.
b) If the device does not turn off, try entering another code. If you
run out of codes, you may search through all of the codes in the
remote’s library for that product type by pressing the
⁄
or
¤
button repeatedly until the device turns off. When the device turns
off, enter the code by pressing the Source Selector, which will
flash. The remote then exits Program mode.
NOTE: When you have entered a valid three-digit product code,
the Program Indicator LED will flash in green. However, if you
enter an invalid product code, the Program Indicator LED will
flash in red. You may then enter another code.
6. Once you have accepted a code, it’s a good idea to try using some
other functions to control the device. Sometimes manufacturers
use the same Power code for several different models, while other
codes will vary. You may wish to repeat this process until you’ve
programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most of the
functions you frequently use. You will be able to program individual
codes into the buttons on the HS 300 remote by “learning” them
from the original component’s remote as explained in Step 8 below.
7. You may find out which code number you have programmed by
pressing and holding the Source Selector and Mute Button simulta-
neously to enter Program mode. Then press the Enter Button, and
the Program Indicator LED will flash in green in the code sequence.
One flash represents “1”, two blinks for “2”, and so forth. A series of
many fast flashes represents “0”. Record the codes programmed for
each device in Table 4.

8. After you have programmed a code set to operate a device, test the
functions to see which ones may be missing or not operating correctly.
You may “learn” individual key codes if you have the device’s original
remote control by following this procedure:
Source Input Product Type Remote Control Code
AUX
D-IN
TV TV
Device Type Indicated by Flashes Numeric Key
to Select
Tape One 1
VCR/TiVo Two 2
CBL/SAT Three 3
Default (VCR/TiVo for Ten (or many fast flashes) 0
AUX; CBL/SAT for D-IN)
