English AVR Advanced Functions, continued To program punch-through control while operating any device: 1. For three seconds, press and hold the Source Selector button (or the AVR button) for the main device the remote will be operating. The Program Indicator LED will flash, indicating that the remote is in Program mode and that you may release the button. 2. S elect the type of punch-through programming. a) To program volume-control punch-through, press the Volume Up button. b) To program channel-control punch-through, press the Volume Down button. c) To program transport-control punch-through, press the Play transport-control button. 3. Press the Source Selector button for the device whose volume, channel or transportcontrols you will use while operating the device selected in the first step. The Program Indicator LED will flash to confirm. To undo punch-through programming, follow the same steps as above, but press the same Source Selector button in Steps 1 and 3. Programming Macro Commands Each of the AVR remote's four Macro buttons and the Power On button (see System Remote Control Functions, on pages 8 and 9) can be programmed to send out up to 19 commands at one time from a single button push. Any AVR remote control button's function from any mode (except the Mute button, the Dim button and the Channel Up/ Down buttons) can be programmed into a macro. NOTE: Use caution when programming complicated macros. It isn't possible to program a pause or delay before sending additional commands after a "Power On" command, and the component may not be ready to respond to commands immediately after powering on. To program a macro: 1. Simultaneously press one of the four Macro buttons, or the Power On button, and the Mute button to enter the Programming mode. 2. Press in up to 19 commands that you want stored in that Macro button. Press the Source Selector button for each device (or AVR button for the AVR itself) before you enter individual commands. This step counts as one of the 19 commands allowed for each Macro. 3. For the Power On command, DO NOT press the Power On button. Press the Mute button instead. 4. Press the Power Off button to program the Power Off command. 5. Press the Sleep button to end the programming process. It isn't possible to "edit" a command within a macro. However, you may erase the macro as follows: 1. Simultaneously press and hold the Mute button and the Macro button containing the macro until the Program Indicator LED flashes. 2. Press the Channel Down button to erase the macro. To execute a macro, press the Macro button (or the Power On button) into which you programmed the macro. Aim the remote at the AVR and the other components until all of the macro commands have been executed. Recording Depending on the Record Out settings you made for each source in the Source Setup menu (see System Setup, on page 26, for more information), analog or digital audio signals, as well as composite video signals, are normally available at the appropriate recording output connectors. To make a recording, connect your audio or video recorder to the appropriate AVR output connectors as described in the Making Connections section, on page 13, insert blank media in the recorder and make sure the recorder is turned on and recording while the source is playing. Refer to the recording device's instructions for complete information about making recordings. NOTE: Please make certain that you are aware of any copyright restrictions on any material you record. Unauthorized duplication of copyrighted materials is prohibited by law. Sleep Timer The sleep timer sets the AVR to play for up to 90 minutes and then turn off automatically. Press the Sleep button on the remote, and the time until turn-off will be displayed on the front-panel Message display and on a connected TV. Each additional press of the Sleep button decreases the play time by 10 minutes, with a maximum of 90 minutes. The SLEEP OFF setting disables the sleep timer. When the sleep timer has been set, the front-panel display will automatically dim to half brightness. If you press the Sleep button after the timer has been set, the remaining play time will be displayed. Press the Sleep button again to change the play time. Resetting the Remote To reset the remote to its factory-default condition, simultaneously press and hold any Source Selector button and the "0" Number button. When the Program Indicator LED flashes amber, enter the code "333." When the green LED goes out, the remote control will be reset. Processor Reset If the AVR behaves erratically after a power surge, first turn off the rear-panel Main Power switch and unplug the AC power cord for at least 3 minutes. Plug the cord back in and turn the AVR on. If this procedure doesn't help, reset the AVR's processor as described below. NOTE: A processor reset erases all user configurations, including video resolution, speaker and level settings, and tuner presets. After a reset, reenter all of these settings from your notes in the Appendix worksheets. To reset the AVR's processor: 1. Press the front-panel Standby/On switch to place the unit in the Standby mode (the Power Indicator LED will turn amber). 2. Press and hold the front-panel Surround Mode button for at least 5 seconds until the RESET message appears on the front-panel Message display. If the AVR does not function correctly after a processor reset, contact an authorized Harman Kardon service center for assistance. Authorized service centers may be located by visiting our Web site at www.harmankardon.com. Memory If the AVR is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it will retain your user settings for up to four weeks. 27
