Harman Kardon AVR 240 Owners Manual - Page 13

REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS u Tuning Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, these buttons will tune up or down through the selected frequency band. If the Tuner Mode Button s& has been pressed so that AUTO appears in the onscreen display and Lower Display Line ı, pressing and holding either of the buttons for three seconds will cause the tuner to seek the next station with acceptable signal strength for quality reception. When MANUAL appears in the Lower Display Line ı, pressing these buttons will tune stations in single-step increments. (See page 39 for more information.) v OSD Button: Press this button to activate the On-Screen Display (OSD) system used to set up or adjust the AVR 240's parameters. w Dolby Mode Selector: This button is used to select from among the available Dolby Surround processing modes. Each press of this button will select one of the Dolby Pro Logic II or IIx, or Dolby Virtual Speaker modes or Dolby 3 Stereo. When a Dolby Digital-encoded source is in use, the Dolby Digital mode may also be selected. When the headphones are in use, this button selects from among the Dolby Headphone modes. (See pages 34-35 for the available Dolby surround mode options.) x DTS Digital Mode Selector: When a DTSencoded digital source is selected, each press of this button will scroll through the available DTS modes. The specific choice of modes will vary according to whether or not the source material contains DTS-ES 6.1 Discrete encoding. When a DTS source is not in use, this button has no function. (See page 34 for the available DTS digital options.) y Logic 7 Mode Select Button: Press this button to select from among the available Logic 7 surround modes. (See page 34 for the available Logic 7 options.) z Skip Up/Down Buttons: These buttons do not have a direct function with the AVR 240, but when used with a compatibly programmed CD or DVD player they will change to the next or previous track. ` Transport Controls: These buttons do not have any functions for the AVR 240, but they may be programmed for the forward/reverse play operation of a wide variety of CD or DVD players, and audio or video cassette recorders. When the DMP TheBridgeTM source is in use, these buttons may be used to operate some functions on a compatible iPod® if it is docked in The Bridge. See page 40 for more information on using TheBridgeTM . When the remote is used to control the AVR, or the VID2 or VID3 device, by default these buttons are programmed to operate the DVD player. However, you may use the Transport Control Punch-Through feature described on page 46 to program these buttons to operate another device's transport controls when the AVR, VID2 or VID3 has been selected. R Stereo Mode Select Button: When the button is pressed so that SURROUND OFF appears in the Lower Display Line ı, with only the Surr Off Surround Mode Indicator ˆ lit, the AVR will operate in a bypass mode with true, fully analog, two-channel left/right stereo mode with no surround processing or bass management, unlike other modes where digital processing is used. When the button is pressed so that SURROUND OFF appears in the Lower Display Line ı, with both the DSP and Surr Off Surround Mode Indicators ˆ lit, you may enjoy a two-channel presentation of the sound along with the benefits of bass management. Depending on whether your system is configured for 5.1 or 6.1/7.1 channels, the next press of the button will cause either 5 CH STEREO or 7 CH STEREO to appear, and the stereo signal will be routed to all five (or seven) speaker channels. (See page 35 for more information on stereo playback modes.) S DTS Neo:6 Mode Select: Press this button to select a DTS Neo:6 mode. These modes take a twochannel stereo- or matrix surround-encoded source and create a full five-, six- or seven-channel sound field. (See page 34 for the DTS Neo:6 options.) T Macro Buttons: Press these buttons to store or recall a "Macro", which is a preprogrammed sequence of commands stored in the remote. (See page 44 for more information on storing and recalling macros.) U Disc Skip Button: This button has no direct function for the AVR 240 but is most often used to change to the next disc in a CD or DVD player when the remote is programmed for that type of device. (See page 45 for more information on using the remote with products other than the AVR 240.) V Preset Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, press these buttons to scroll through the stations programmed into the AVR 240's memory. When some source devices, such as CD players, VCRs and cassette decks, are selected using the device Input Selectors e, these buttons may function as Chapter Step or Track Advance. W Clear Button: Press this button to clear incorrect entries when using the remote to directly enter a radio station's frequency. X Memory Button: Press this button to enter a radio station into the AVR 240's preset memory. First, tune the desired station, and then press this button. Two underline indicators will flash at the right side of the Upper Display Line P, and within five seconds press the Numeric Keys r for the preset number between 01 and 30 that you wish to assign to the station. (See page 39 for more information.) Y Delay/Prev Ch.: Press this button to begin the process for setting the delay times used by the AVR 240 when processing surround sound. After pressing this button, the delay times are entered by pressing the Set Button p and then using the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select A/V SYNC DELAY or the delay setting for any available channel. Press the Set Button p, and then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to change the setting. Press the Set Button p again to complete the process. (See page 29 for more information.) However, Harman Kardon recommends that you first perform the EzSet+ procedure, as described on pages 24-26. Z Speaker Select: Press this button to begin the process of configuring the AVR 240's bass management system for use with the type of speakers used in your system. Once the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select the channel you wish to set up. Press the Set Button p and then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select the appropriate speaker size. Press the Set Button p to enter the new setting, and then use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n again to select another channel to configure. When all adjustments have been completed, press the Set Button p twice to exit the settings and return to normal operation. (See page 27 for more information.) However, Harman Kardon recommends that you first perform the EzSet+ procedure, as described on pages 24-26. a Spare Button: This button has no direct function for the AVR 240, but may be used by other devices. b Volume Up/Down: Press these buttons to raise or lower the system volume. By default, the Volume Up/Down Buttons b are programmed at the factory to control the AVR 240's volume, no matter which source device has been selected (except TAPE). You may reprogram these buttons to control the volume of another device, such as your TV, using the Volume Control Punch-Through instructions found on page 46. c TV/Video Selector: This button does not have a direct function on the AVR 240, but when used with a compatible VCR, DVD or satellite receiver, pressing this button will switch between the output of the device and the external video input. Consult the owner's manual for your specific player or receiver for the details of how it implements this function. REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS 13
