MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 325's remote may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the AVR 325. Before using the remote, it is important to remember to press the Input Selector Button e that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 325's remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 325 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The remote is also capable of operating a wide variety of other products using the control codes that are part of the remote. Before using the remote with other products, follow the instructions on pages 36-37 to program the proper codes for the products in your system. It is also important to remember that many of the buttons on the remote take on different functions, depending on the product selected using the Device Control Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail the functions of the remote when it is used to operate the AVR 325. (See page 40 for information about alternate functions for the remote's buttons.) a Power Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 325 or a selected device in the Standby mode. Note that this will turn off the main room functions, but if the Multiroom system is activated, it will continue to function. b IR Transmitter Window: Point this window towards the AVR 325 when pressing buttons on the remote to make certain that infrared commands are properly received. c Program/SPL Indicator: This three-color indicator is used to guide you through the process of programming the remote or learning commands from a remote into the AVR 325's remote code memory and it is also used as a level indicator when using the remote's EzSet capabilities. (See page 24 for more information on setting output levels, and see page 36 for information on programming the remote.) d Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors e. e Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR 325 is not turned on, this will power up the unit. Next, it will select the source shown on the button as the input to the AVR 325. Finally, it will change the remote control so that it controls the device selected. After pressing one of these buttons you must press the AVR Selector Button f again to operate the AVR 325's functions with the remote. f AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR 325's functions. If the AVR 325 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 325 on. g AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR 325's tuner as the listening choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is already in use will select between the AM and FM bands. h 6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input: Press this button to select the device connected to the 8-Channel Direct Inputs 40 . (See page 26 for more information.) i Test Button: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 325's output levels. (See page 24 for more information on calibrating the AVR 325.) j Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 325 will automatically go into the Standby mode. Each press of the button changes the time until turn-off in the following order: 90 80 70 60 50 min min min min min 40 min 30 min 20 min 10 min OFF This button is also used to change channels on your TV when the TV is selected. When the AVR 325 remote is being programmed with the codes to operate another device, this button is also used in the "Auto Search" process. (See page 36 for more information on programming the remote.) k Surround Mode Selector: Press this button to cycle through the DSP, VMAx and Stereo surround modes such as Hall, Theater, VMAx Near and Far, and Surround Off. This button is also used to tune channels when the TV is selected using the device Input Selector e. When the AVR 325 remote is being programmed with the codes of another device, this button is also used in the "Auto Search" process. (See page 36 for more information on programming the remote.) l Night Mode: Press this button to activate the Night mode. This mode is available in specially encoded digital sources, and it preserves dialogue (center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels. m Channel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 325's output levels to an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the ⁄/¤ Buttons n to select the channel being adjusted, then press the Set Button p, followed by the ⁄/¤ Buttons n again, to change the level setting. (See page 31 for more information.) n ⁄/¤ Buttons: These multipurpose buttons are used to change or scroll through items in the on- screen menus, make configuration settings such as digital inputs or delay timing, or to select surround modes. When changing a setting, first press the button for the function or setting to be changed (e.g., press the Surround Mode Selector k to select a sound field mode or the Digital Select Button q to change a digital input) and then press one of these buttons to scroll through the list of options or to increase or decrease a setting. The sections in this manual describing the individual features and functions contain specific information on using these buttons for each application. o ‹ Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR 325. p Set Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 325's memory. It is also used in the setup procedures for delay time, speaker configuration and channel output level adjustment. q Digital Select: Press this button to assign one of the digital inputs 33 36 &* to a source. (See page 27 for more information on using digital inputs.) r Numeric Keys: These buttons serve as a 10button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also used to select channel numbers when TV, Cable or SAT has been selected on the remote, or to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player, depending on how the remote has been programmed. s Tuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is in use to select between automatic tuning and manual tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO Indicator J goes out, pressing the Tuning Buttons u9≠ will move the frequency up or down in single-step increments. When the FM band is in use, pressing this button when a station's signal is weak will change to monaural reception. (See page 30 for more information.) t Direct Button: Press this button when the tuner is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a station's frequency. After pressing the button, simply press the proper Numeric Keys r to select a station. (See page 30 for more information on the tuner.) 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 the AUTO Indicator J is illuminated, 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 the AUTO Indicator J is NOT illuminated, pressing these buttons will tune stations in single-step increments. (See page 30 for more information.) 12 MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
