PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE

NOTE:

All programming for the remote codes needed

to operate specific devices, such as a TV, DVD, cable

box, satellite receiver or VCR, should be completed

before programming punch-through commands.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 130’s remote may be programmed to oper-

ate the

Volume Control

and

Mute

func-

tions of either the TV or the AVR 130 in conjunction

with any of the devices controlled by the remote. For

example, since the AVR 130 will likely be used as the

sound system for TV viewing, you may wish to have

the AVR 130’s volume activated, although the remote

is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 130 or TV volume

control may be associated with any of the remote’s

devices.To program the remote for Volume Punch-

Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

e

for the unit you will

be using (e.g., TV) when you wish to have Volume

Punch-Through to your audio system active and the

Mute Button

at the same time until the red

light appears under the

Input Selector

e

and

note that the

Program Indicator

c

will flash

amber.

2. Press the

Volume Up Button

and note that

the

Program Indicator

c

will stop flashing and

stay amber.

3. Press either the

AVR Selector

f

or the

Input

Selector

e

, depending on which system’s

volume control you wish to have attached for the

punch-through mode. The

Program Indicator

c

will blink green three times and then go out to con-

firm the data entry.

Example:

To have the AVR 130’s volume control

activated even though the remote is set to control

the TV, first press the

VID2/TV Input Selector

e

and the

Mute Button

at the same time.

Next, press the

Volume Up Button

, followed

by the

AVR Input Selector

f

.

NOTE:

Should you wish to return the remote to the

original configuration after entering a Volume Punch-

Through, you will need to repeat the steps shown

above. However, press the same Input Selector in

Steps 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 130’s remote may be programmed to operate

so that the channel control function for either the TV,

cable or satellite receiver used in your system may be

used in conjunction with one of the other devices con-

trolled by the remote. For example, while using and con-

trolling the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a

cable box or satellite receiver without having to change

the device selected by the AVR 130 or the remote.To

program the remote for Channel Control Punch-Through,

follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector Button

e

for the device

you will be using (e.g., VCR) when you wish to have

Channel Punch-Through active and the

Mute

Button

at the same time until the red light

appears under the

Input Selector

e

and the

Program Indicator

c

flashes amber.

2. Press the

Volume Down Button

. The

Program Indicator

c

will stop flashing and stay

amber.

3. Press and release the


e

for the device that will be used to change the chan-

nels. The

Program Indicator

c

will blink green

three times and then go out to confirm the data

entry.

Example:

To control the channels using your Cable

Box or Satellite Receiver while the remote is set to

control the VCR, first press the

VID1/VCR Input

Selector Button

e

and the

Mute Button

at the same time. Next, release them and press the

Volume Down Button

, followed by the

VID2/TV Input Selector Button

e

.

NOTE:

To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through

and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat

the steps shown above. However, press the same but-

ton in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 130’s remote may be programmed to operate

so that the

Transport Control Functions

`

(Play,

Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and Record) for a

VCR, cassette deck, DVD or CD will operate in conjunc-

tion with one of the other devices controlled by the

remote. For example, while using and controlling the TV,

you may wish to start or stop your VCR without having

to change the device selected by the AVR 130 or the

remote. Note, however, that the remote is factory pre-

set so that the

Transport Controls

`

are pro-

grammed with the codes for Harman Kardon DVD

players, and no further programming is required to use

a Harman Kardon DVD player when the AVR controls

are active after the

AVR Selector

f

has been

pressed. To program the remote for Transport Control

Punch-Through, follow these steps:

1. Press the

Input Selector

e

for the device

you

will be using (e.g., TV) when you wish to have

Transport Control Punch-Through active and the

Mute Button

at the same time until the red

light appears under the

Input Selector

e

and the

Program Indicator

c

flashes amber.

2. Press the

Play Button

`

. The

Program

Indicator

c

will stop flashing and stay amber.

3. Press and release the


e

for the device whose transport mechanism will be

controlled (e.g., DVD, CD). The

Program Indicator

c

will blink green three times and then go out to

confirm the data entry.

Example:

To control the transport of a VCR while the

remote is set to control the TV, first press the

VID2/TV

Input Selector

e

and the

Mute Button

at the

same time. Next, release them and press the

Play

Button

`

, followed by the

VID1/VCR Input

Selector

e

.

NOTE:

To remove the Channel Control Punch-Through

and return the remote to its original configuration, repeat

the steps shown above. However, press the same but-

ton in Steps 1 and 3.

Resetting the Remote Memory

As you add components to your home theater system,

occasionally you may wish to totally reprogram the

remote control without the confusion of any commands,

macros or ”Punch-Through“ programming that you may

have done.To do this, it is possible to reset the remote

to the original factory defaults and command codes by

following these steps. Note, however, that once the

remote is reset, all commands or codes that you have

entered will be erased and will need to be reentered:

1. Press any of the

Input Selector Buttons

e

and

the

“O” Button

r

at the same time until the

Program Indicator

c

begins to flash amber.

2. Press the

“3” Button

r

three times.

3. The red LED under the

Input Selector

e

will go

out and the

Program Indicator

c

will stop flash-

ing and turn green.

4. The

Program Indicator

c

will remain green until

the remote is reset. Note that this may take a while,

depending on how many commands are in the

memory and need to be erased.

5. When the

Program Indicator

c

goes out, the

remote has been reset to the factory settings.
