Harman Kardon AVR 510 Owners Manual - Page 12

Main Remote Control Functions IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 510's remote may be programmed to control up to eight devices, including the AVR 510. 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 510's remote is shipped from the factory to operate the AVR 510 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 36-40 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 510. (See page 40 for information about alternate functions for the remote's buttons.) a Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the power to a device selected by pressing one of the Input Selectors e. b IR Transmitter Window: Point this window towards the AVR 510 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 510's remote code memory and it is also used as a level indicator when using the remote's EzSet capabilities. (See page 23 for more information on setting output levels, and see page 36 for information on programming the remote.) d Power Off Button: Press this button to place the AVR 510 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. e Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the AVR 510 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 510. 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 510's functions with the remote. f AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the remote so that it will operate the AVR 510's functions. If the AVR 510 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 510 on. g AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select the AVR 510'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 Learn Button: Press this button to begin the process of "learning" the codes from another product's remote into the AVR 510's remote. (See page 37 for more information on using the remote's learning function.) i Test Button: Press this button to begin the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 510's output levels. (See page 23 for more information on calibrating the AVR 510.) j Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display, the AVR 510 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 Note that this button is also used to change channels on your TV when the TV is selected. When the AVR 510 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 begin the process of changing the surround mode. After the button has been pressed, use the ⁄/¤ buttons n to select the desired surround mode. (See page 28 for more information.) Note that this button is also used to tune channels when the TV is selected using the device Input Selector e. When the AVR 510 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 dialog (center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels. m Channel Select Button: This button is used to start the process of setting the AVR 510'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 again, to change the level setting. (See page 31 for more information.) n ⁄/¤ Buttons: These are multi-purpose buttons. They will be used most frequently to select a surround mode. To change the surround mode, first press the Surround Mode ¤ selector k. Next press these buttons to scroll up or down through the list of surround modes that appear in the Main Information Display 25.. These buttons are also used to increase or decrease output levels when configuring the unit with either the internal test tone or an external source. They are also used to enter delay time settings after the Delay button 30 has been pressed. o ‹ Button: This button is used to change the menu selection or setting during some of the setup procedures for the AVR 510. p Set Button: This button is used to enter settings into the AVR 510'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 # % to a source. (See page 28 for more information on using digital inputs.) r Numeric Keys: These buttons serve as a ten-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions. They are also used to select channel numbers when TV 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 X goes out, pressing the Tuning buttons u8≠ will move the frequency up or down in singlestep 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.) 12 MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
