16AVR 1565/AVR 1566 Set Up the Remote Control, continued,and Set Up the AVRProgram the Remote to Control Your Source Devices and TVIn addition to using the remote to control the AVr itself and the AM/FM radio, you canprogram the remote to control up to eight additional audio/video source devices plusyour tV.once you have programmed the remote, you can switch the remote’s control mode toaccess the functions for a particular source device by pressing the remote’s SourceSelector button for that device. to control the AVr, press the remote’s AVr button.before you begin programming the remote, review the connections you filled in on theInput connections and Source buttons table on page 13. the Source Selector buttonsare assigned to the components that you listed in the table’s “Source device connected”column.turn on the source device you want to program the remote to control.1.look up the code numbers for the device in tables A11 – A17 in the Appendix. write2.all the applicable code numbers in a convenient place.press and hold the Source Selector button for that source device until the program3.Indicator led on the remote starts to flash, then release it. (this procedure places theremote in the programming mode.)NOTE: If you’re programming one of the four hdMI source buttons, after pressing thehdMI button you must also press the Source Selector button for the type of device thatwill be controlled:press dVd to control a dVd player.•press VId1 to control a Vcr, dVr or harman kardon digital media center.•press VId2 to control a cable or satellite set-top box.•Aim the remote at the source device and use the remote’s number buttons to enter a4.code number from Step 2, above.If the device turns off, press the Source Selector button again to save its code. thea)Source Selector button will flash, and the remote will exit the programming mode.If the device does not turn off, enter another code number.b)If you run out of code numbers for a device, you can search through all of the codesc)in the remote’s library for devices of its type by pressing the up or down buttonrepeatedly until the device turns off. when it does, press the Source Selector buttonto save the code.check that other functions control the device correctly. Sometimes manufacturers5.use the same power code for several models, while other function codes vary. repeatthis process until you’ve programmed a satisfactory code set that operates most ofthe device’s functions.If you searched through the remote’s code library to find the code, you can find out6.which code number you have programmed by pressing and holding the Source Selectorbutton to re-enter the programming Mode. then press the remote’s ok button, and theprogram Indicator led will flash in the code sequence. one flash represents “1,” twoflashes represent “2,” and so forth. A series of quick flashes represents “0.” recordthe code number programmed for each device in table A7 in the Appendix.repeat Steps 3 – 6 for each source device you want to control with the AVr remote.In general, the label for each button on the remote describes the button’s function whenused to control the AVr. however, the button may perform a very different function whenused to control another device. refer to theremote control Function list, table A10 inthe Appendix, for each button’s functions with the various product types.You can also program the remote to perform Macros (preprogrammed code sequencesthat execute many code commands with a single button press) and “punch-through”programming (allowing the remote to operate a device’s channel or transport controlswhen the remote is in another device’s mode). SeeAdvanced remote controlprogramming, on page 22, for instructions on these functions.Set Up the AVRTurn On the AVRSet the rear-panel Main power switch to “on.” (the front-panel power indicator will1.glow amber.)press the front-panel power button.2.powerbuttonMain powerSwitchunless you will not be using the AVr for an extended period of time, leave the Mainpower switch set to “on.” when the Main power switch is turned off, any settings youhave programmed will be preserved for up to four weeks.IMPORTANT NOTE: If the PROTECT message ever appears in the Messagedisplay, turn off the AVR and unplug it. Check all speaker wires for a shortcircuit (“+” and “–” wires touching). If none is found, bring the unit to anauthorized Harman Kardon service center for inspection and repair beforeusing it again.Using the On-Screen Menu SystemAlthough it’s possible to configure the AVr using only the remote and the front-panelMessage display, it is easier to use the on-screen menu system.to access the menu system, press the oSd button on the remote. the Master menuwill appear.** MASTER MENU **INPUT SETUPSURROUND SELECTSPEAKER SETUPSYSTEM SETUPthe Master menu consists of four submenus: Input Setup, Surround Mode, SpeakerSetup and System Setup.use the up/down/left/right buttons on the remote to navigate the menu system, andpress the ok button to select a menu or setting line, or to enter a new setting.the current menu, setting line or setting will appear in the front-panel Message display,as well as on screen.to return to the previous menu, navigate to the “back to Master Menu” line and pressthe ok button. to exit the menu system, press the oSd button.Most users should follow the instructions in thisSet up the AVr section to configurea basic home theater system. You may return to these menus at any time to makeadditional adjustments, such as those described in theAdvanced Functions section, onpages 20 through 23.before you begin initial setup, all loudspeakers, a video display and all source devicesshould be connected to the AVr. You should be able to turn on the AVr and viewthe Master menu when you press the oSd button. If necessary, reread theMakingconnections section and the beginning of this section before continuing.
