AVR80 manual 11/01/98 13:01 Side 13 Remote Control Programming & Operation 13 ENGLISH Remote Programming This product is equipped with a powerful remote control. As supplied, it will operate the receiver, as well as most CD players and tape decks manufactured by Harman Kardon. In addition, it is preprogrammed with the remote codes to operate VCRs, LD players and TV sets that are based on the popular RC-5 control code system. If your equipment requires different codes, it may be programmed to copy the codes from most infra red remotes. Loading Batteries The life of the batteries for the remote control is about one year in normal operation. If the green Sending x indicator does not flash when remote buttons are pushed, that is an indication that the batteries need to be replaced. Don't simply through old batteries away but recycle only or return them to your dealer. To change the batteries: 1. Remove the back cover by sliding it in the direction of the arrows. 2. Remove the old batteries and insert fresh AAA type cells. Be certain to observe the correct polarity by noting the (+) and (-) marks on both the inside of the case and on the battery cells. It is recommended that both batteries be changed at the same time. 3. Close the cover until it clicks shut. NOTE: It is important that the batteries be replaced within ten minutes after the old batteries are removed to avoid losing any remote codes that have been programmed into the remote's memory. Remote Control Range The remote will operate at a range of up to 15 feet from the unit, when the batteries are fully charged. The remote will also operate at an angle of up to 30° to either side of the unit. Always point the remote transmitter at the front of the unit when issuing commands. If you find that remote commands are not being received by the remote, it may be necessary to use a remote IR sensor. Programmable Keys Many of the buttons on the remote control that may be user programmed to new functions to operate virtually any component in your system. Ten CANNOT be programmed with a new code, as they control high level functions. These keys are Main Power ON, Main Power OFF, and the eight source input keys: TV, LD, VCR 1, VCR 2, TUNER, CD, TAPE 1 and TAPE 2. Programmable keys are divided into two groups. Some keys may be programmed with a separate function for each of the inputs. Thus, these keys may change their code when the input source is changed. (i.e. The Play key may transmit a different code when CD is selected as opposed to when VCR is selected.) The keys that may be programmed with multiple codes are the following: All Numeric Keys (0 - 9) Forward Play fl Source Power On Reverse Play fi Source Power Off Stop Í Disc/Deck ∏ Record Î Disc/Deck  Pause ± Channel/Skip · TV Volume Up ⁄ Channel/Skip ‡ TV Volume Down ¤ Tune/Search - Memo Tune/Search , P-Scan
