INSTALLATION Figure 35 - Remote Battery Compartment When using the remote, remember to point the lens toward the front panel of the AVR 245. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, are blocking the remote's path to the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lights and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote's functioning. The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting conditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either side of the AVR. If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button on the remote does not cause the AVR Selector or one of the Input Selectors to light up, then make sure the batteries have been inserted correctly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones. Step Eight - Program Sources Into the Remote The AVR 245 remote not only is capable of controlling the receiver, but it may also be programmed to control many brands and models of VCRs, DVD players, CD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, cassette decks and TVs, as well as The Bridge. It may help to think of the remote as a book with pages. Each page represents the button functions for a different device. In order to access the functions for a particular device, you first need to turn to that page that is, switch the remote to that device mode. This is done by pressing the AVR Button to access the codes that control the receiver, or the Input Selector Buttons to access the codes for the devices programmed into the remote. You may have noticed that three of the Input Selectors look different from the others (see Figure 36). For the DVD/CD, TAPE/The Bridge and HDMI 1/HDMI 2 Selectors, there is a primary source, whose name is printed on the button, and a secondary source, whose name is printed in green above the button. When the remote is in the device mode for the primary source, e.g. DVD, pressing the device selector will cause it to light up in red. When the remote is in the secondary source's device mode, the selector will light up in green when pressed. To switch between the primary and secondary device modes, press the selector twice quickly in succession. The selector will retain this selection until the next time you toggle between the primary and secondary device modes. That is, if you press the DVD/CD Selector twice quickly so that the CD source is activated, then press another source selector, such as Video 1, the next time you press the DVD/CD Selector, the remote will return to the CD device mode. The AVR 245's remote is factory-programmed to control an iPod docked in The Bridge and many Harman Kardon DVD and CD players. 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-A16 of the Appendix, look up the product type (e.g., DVD, cable TV box) and the brand name of your source. The number(s) listed is/are potential candidates for the correct code set for your particular device. 2. Turn on your source device. 3. This step places the remote in program mode, and varies slightly, depending on which Input Selector is being programmed. Refer to Figure 36. a) DVD, Tape, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3 and Video 4 Sources: Press and hold the Input Selector until the Program Indicator LED starts to flash, then release it. Follow the directions in Step 4, below. b) CD Source: Press the DVD/CD Input Selector twice quickly so that it turns green, hold it until the Program LED starts to flash, then release. Follow the directions in Step 4, below. c) HDMI 1 Source: Press and hold the Input Selector until it turns red, then release it. Next, press the Input Selector that corresponds to the device type you want to program into the HDMI 1 mode, i.e., DVD, VCR or CBL/SAT. Then follow the directions in Step 4, below. d) HDMI 2 Source: Press and release the Input Selector once, then quickly press the Input Selector again so that it turns green. Hold it until the Program LED starts to flash, then release it. Next, press the Input Selector that corresponds to the device type you want to program into the HDMI 2 mode, i.e., DVD, VCR or CBL/SAT. Then follow the directions in Step 4, below. NOTE: When assigning a device type to the HDMI 1 or 2 Input Selectors, press the selector for the device type extremely lightly to avoid inadvertently exiting program mode.

INSTALLATION
Figure 35 – Remote Battery Compartment
When using the remote, remember to point the lens toward the front
panel of the AVR 245. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, are
blocking the remote’s path to the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lights
and plasma video displays may interfere with the remote’s functioning.
The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lighting
conditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to either
side of the AVR.
If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a button
on the remote does not cause the AVR Selector or one of the Input
Selectors to light up, then make sure the batteries have been inserted
correctly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones.
Step Eight – Program Sources Into the Remote
The AVR 245 remote not only is capable of controlling the receiver,
but it may also be programmed to control many brands and models of
VCRs, DVD players, CD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, cassette
decks and TVs, as well as The Bridge.
It may help to think of the remote as a book with pages. Each page
represents the button functions for a different device. In order to access
the functions for a particular device, you first need to turn to that page
that is, switch the remote to that device mode. This is done by pressing
the AVR Button to access the codes that control the receiver, or the
Input Selector Buttons to access the codes for the devices programmed
into the remote.
You may have noticed that three of the Input Selectors look different
from the others (see Figure 36). For the DVD/CD, TAPE/The Bridge and
HDMI 1/HDMI 2 Selectors, there is a primary source, whose name is
printed on the button, and a secondary source, whose name is printed
in green above the button.
When the remote is in the device mode for the primary source, e.g. DVD,
pressing the device selector will cause it to light up in red. When the
remote is in the secondary source’s device mode, the selector will light
up in green when pressed.
To switch between the primary and secondary device modes, press the
selector twice quickly in succession. The selector will retain this selection
until the next time you toggle between the primary and secondary device
modes. That is, if you press the DVD/CD Selector twice quickly so that
the CD source is activated, then press another source selector, such as
Video 1, the next time you press the DVD/CD Selector, the remote will
return to the CD device mode.
The AVR 245’s remote is factory-programmed to control an iPod
docked in The Bridge and many Harman Kardon DVD and CD players.
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–A16 of the Appendix, look up the
product type (e.g., DVD, cable TV box) and the brand name of your
source. The number(s) listed is/are potential candidates for the
correct code set for your particular device.
2. Turn on your source device.
3. This step places the remote in program mode, and varies slightly,
depending on which Input Selector is being programmed. Refer to
Figure 36.
a) DVD, Tape, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3 and Video 4 Sources:
Press and hold the Input Selector until the Program Indicator LED
starts to flash, then release it. Follow the directions in Step 4, below.
b) CD Source:
Press the DVD/CD Input Selector twice quickly so
that it turns green, hold it until the Program LED starts to flash,
then release. Follow the directions in Step 4, below.
c) HDMI 1 Source:
Press and hold the Input Selector until it turns
red, then release it. Next, press the Input Selector that corresponds
to the device type you want to program into the HDMI 1 mode, i.e.,
DVD, VCR or CBL/SAT. Then follow the directions in Step 4, below.
d) HDMI 2 Source:
Press and release the Input Selector once, then
quickly press the Input Selector again so that it turns green. Hold
it until the Program LED starts to flash, then release it. Next, press
the Input Selector that corresponds to the device type you want to
program into the HDMI 2 mode, i.e., DVD, VCR or CBL/SAT. Then
follow the directions in Step 4, below.
NOTE:
When assigning a device type to the HDMI 1 or 2 Input
Selectors, press the selector for the device type
extremely
lightly
to avoid inadvertently exiting program mode.
