Multiroom Operation 35 The M ULT I indicator on the front panel display will flash to indicate that the multiroom system is turned on in the variable mode, and that Source Linking is in effect. With Source Link, any change to the AVR80ifs input selection will also change the feed to the remote room locations. If the input source is changed from the remote room, the m U LT I indicator will remain lit, but stop flashing. If the AVR80// is turned off in the main listening room, the feed to the remote room will continue, although the ULT I indicator will now remain constantly illuminated. To turn off the feed to the remote room either while the AVR80// is still on, or after it is turned off, press the MULTI button on the front panel. If the MULTI button is pressed while the AVR80// is still on and the on screen video system is engaged, a warning message will appear on the video display (Figure #18) to remind you that people may still be lis- tening to the system in the remote room location. Remote Room Operation In this option, the remote room feed is controlled by the use of an AVR80// compatible remote control. The remote commands must be transmitted to the AVR80// via a coaxial link connected to the MULTI input on the AVR80/fs rear panel. Using the remote control in the second room press the POWER ON button to turn on the remote room feed. This will activate the multi room portion of the AVR80// whether or not it may be on in the main listening room. The initial feed to the remote room will be the last station selected by the tuner. Any other AVR80// input source may subsequently be selected using the source buttons on the remote control. The initial volume at the remote room will be the level established using the options in SET UP MENU 2. If IR connections have been made to the source playback equipment, it is also possible to control the functions of those units via the second room remote. Consult with your dealer or custom installer for additional information on this type of installation. When the remote room is controlling the AVR80// via the IR link, the MULTI indicator on the AVR80/fs front panel will remain constantly lit. NOTE: Whenever the AVR8Cli/ is in a mul- tiroom mode, the MULTI indicator will flash briefly whenever a command is transmitted by the remote room location and received by the AVR80//. Memory Backup This product is equipped with a memory backup system that preserves tuner presets and system configuration information if the unit is accidentally unplugged or subject to a power outage. This memory will last for approximately one week, after which time all information must be re-entered. System Reset In the rare case where the unit's operation or the displays seem abnormal, the cause may involve the erratic operation of the system's memory or microprocessor. To correct this problem, first unplug the unit from the AC wall outlet and wait at least three minutes. After the pause, reconnect the AC power cord and check the unit's operation. If the system still malfunctions, a system reset may clear the problem. To clear the entire system memory of the unit, press and hold the MEMO gi and CLEAR Eg buttons until CLEAR MEMO appears in the front panel display. Release the buttons and note that the unit will turn off. Remember that once you have cleared the memory in this fashion it will be necessary to re-establish all system configuration information and tuner presets. If the system is still operating incorrectly, there may have been an electrostatic discharge or severe AC line interference that has corrupted the memory or microprocessor. If a reset does not solve the problem, consult an authorized Harman Kardon service depot.
