ADVANCED FUNCTIONS 2. Press the AVR Button (first command switches the remote to AVR mode). 3. Press the OSD Button (second command activates the on-screen menu system). 4. Press the Set Button (third command selects the INPUT SETUP menu; this macro assumes the current source is The Bridge). 5. Press the ¤ Button three times (fourth, fifth and sixth commands navigate to the GO TO DMP SETTING line). 6. Press the Set Button again (seventh command selects the DMP SETTING menu). 7. Press the Sleep Button to end the programming process. You have now programmed the first macro, which will display the DMP SETTING menu after you have selected The Bridge as your source input. After you have made your selections in the DMP SETTING menu, such as turning on repeat playback or shuffle mode, the second macro enables you to exit the on-screen menu system and return the remote to The Bridge mode, again with just one button press. 1. Simultaneously press and hold the M2 (or other unused) Macro Button and the Mute Button until the Program LED flashes. 2. Press the OSD Button (the first command exits the on-screen menu system; this macro assumes that you have not let the OSD time out). 3. Press the Tape/The Bridge Input Selector twice (the second and third commands switch the selector to The Bridge mode and select The Bridge as the source; this step is required even if you already switched the selector's mode before programming the Macro). 4. Press the Sleep Button to end the programming process. You have now programmed the second macro, which may be used after running the first macro to exit the OSD system quickly and return the remote's operation to The Bridge. Remote IR Inputs and Output The AVR 245 is equipped with a Remote IR Input, a Multiroom IR Input and a Remote IR Output to facilitate use of your system with a remote control in a variety of situations. When the AVR 245 is placed in such a way that aiming the remote at the front-panel IR sensor is difficult, such as inside a cabinet or facing away from the listener, you may connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack. When you are using the AVR 245 in multiroom mode, you may connect an optional IR receiver, keypad or other control device to the Multiroom IR Input for remote control of the AVR 245 (and any sources connected to the AVR's Remote IR Output) from the remote zone. Any signals transmitted through the Multiroom IR Input will only control source selection and volume for the remote zone. If a source device is being shared with the main listening area, then any control commands issued to that source will also affect the main room. If any of your source devices are equipped with a compatible Remote IR Input, you may use a 1/8" mini-plug interconnect cable (not included) to connect the AVR's Remote IR Output to the source device's Remote IR Input, which will pass any applicable remote signals transmitted through the AVR to the source device. This enables you to control your sources even when the AVR itself is controlled via an external IR receiver. To control more than one source device using the Remote IR Output, connect all sources in "daisy chain" fashion, with the AVR's Remote IR Output connected to the first device's Remote IR Input, that device's Remote IR Output connected to the next device's Remote IR Input, and so forth. NOTE: Not all remote controllable devices are equipped with compatible IR inputs and outputs. Check with the manufacturer of the source device for more information on the type of IR signal expected. The AVR 245 will output a "stripped carrier" IR signal. Resetting the Remote To reset the remote to its factory defaults, simultaneously press and hold any Input Selector and the "0" Numeric key. When the Program LED flashes in amber, enter the code "333". When the green LED goes out, the remote will have been fully reset. Processor Reset There may be instances when you wish to fully reset the AVR 245 to its factory defaults, or the unit may behave erratically after a power surge. To correct erratic behavior, first try turning the Master Power Switch off and unplugging the AC power cord for at least three minutes. Plug the cord back in and turn the receiver back on. If this doesn't help, try a system reset. NOTES: • A system reset erases all user configurations, including speaker and level settings and tuner presets. After a reset, you will need to reenter all of these settings. • The RS-232 Reset Button on the rear panel of the AVR 245 does not perform a system reset. DO NOT press the RS-232 Reset Button. To reset the AVR 245, place the receiver in Standby mode (press the front-panel Standby/On Switch so that the Power Indicator turns amber). Then press and hold the front-panel Tone Mode Button for at least five seconds until the RESET message appears in the display. If the receiver still 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 245 is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it will retain user settings for up to four weeks. 57
