Harman Kardon HS 300, Service Manual

a) Place the two remotes so that their IR transmitters face each other
end to end, separated by about one inch. See Figure 27. The HS
300 remote’s transmitter also serves as an IR receiver during the
learning process.

b) Place the HS 300 remote in Learning mode by simultaneously
pressing and holding the Source Selector you wish to learn a
code for and the Learn buttons until the Program Indicator flashes
in amber, then release. See Figure 28.
Figure 28 – Learning Remote Commands
c) Press and hold the button on the HS 300 remote you wish to
program with the new code until the Program Indicator remains
steadily lit in amber, then release it.
d) Press and hold the button on the device’s original remote whose
code you wish to “learn” until the Program Indicator flashes in
green, then release it.
e) You may program additional buttons by repeating steps c) and d).
To exit Learning mode, press the Learn button once. If you prefer,
you may wait for the remote to “time out” and exit Learning mode
on its own, but this will take about thirty seconds.
NOTE: The following buttons on the remote are not programmable,
and are not subject to learning new codes: System Off, all of the
Source Selectors, Mode, Subtitle, Audio, Status, Source Video
Output, Source Video Format, Learn and Light. If you learn a
code into a Macro key, you will not be able to program a Macro
into that key, as the learned code will take priority.
If you are unable to locate a code set that correctly operates your
source device, you may still connect the source to the HS 300 and
operate it using the device’s original remote control. Alternatively, you
may wish to consider purchasing Harman Kardon’s optional TC 30
activity-based remote, which is programmed by accessing a large data-
base of product codes on the Internet. The TC 30 is also capable of
“learning” codes from your device’s original remote.
Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button’s function
when used to control the HS 300. However, the button may perform a
very different function when used to control another device. Refer to the
Remote Control Function List, Table A9 in the Appendix, for a list of
each button’s functions with the various product types.
If you wish, you may program Macros, which are preprogrammed code
sequences that execute many code commands with a single button
press. You may also program “punch-through” codes, which allow the
remote to operate the volume, channel or transport controls of another
device without having to switch the remote to the mode for that device.
See pages 55 through 56 for instructions on these advanced program-
ming functions.
If you make a mistake in programming your remote and you wish to
completely reset it to its factory defaults, follow this procedure:
1. Simultaneously press any Source Selector and the “0” Numeric Key
until the Program Indicator LED flashes in amber, and release.
2. Enter the numeric code “333”.
3. The Program Indicator LED will light steadily in green, indicating that
it is resetting the remote. Do not press any buttons while the LED is
lit green. When it goes dark, the remote has been completely reset.
Step Nine – Turn On the HS 300
Plugging the HS 300 into AC power places it in Standby mode, which
is indicated by the Power Indicator (surrounding the Standby/On Switch)
turning amber.
There are several ways in which the HS 300 may be turned on from
Standby mode.
a) Press the Standby/On Switch on the top panel. See Figure 29.
Figure 29 – Standby/On Switch on Top Panel
b) Press the Open/Close Button on the top panel. See Figure 30.
