59ADVANCED FUNCTIONSYou may reassign the transport control punch-through programming forthe AVR, VID2 and VID3 devices to other devices, such as CD. If youwish to remove transport control punch-through altogether for the AVR,VID2 or VID3 device, follow the same procedure as for programmingpunch-through, but in Step 3 press either of the other two of these threespecial selector buttons. For example, to remove punch-through trans-port control from the VID3 device so that pressing any of the transportcontrols will have no effect in that device mode, press and hold VID3until the Program Indicator Program LED flashes in amber, then pressthe Play button, followed by either the AVR or VID2 Button.MacrosMacros are used to program sequences of up to 19 commands thatare executed with a single button press. Macros are well suited forpower on and off commands, or to send out a favorite multidigit channelnumber with one button press, or to have the ability to send out a codesequence to control another device while the remote is operating onedevice, but with more flexibility than the built-in punch-through controls.Some commands may not be programmed into macros: Mute, Dim,Channel Up/Down, or any of the surround mode commands.NOTE: Use caution when programming complicated macros. Itisn’t possible to program a pause or delay before sending com-mands after Power On, and the component may not be readyto respond to commands instantaneously after powering on.To program, or “record” a macro, follow these steps:1. Simultaneously press and hold one of the four Macro Buttons (or thePower On Button) and the Mute Button to enter Program mode.2. Press the Input (or AVR) Selector for each device before you entercommands to be transmitted to that device. This step counts as oneof the 19 commands allowed for each macro.NOTE: Even if you previously switched one of the dual-sourceInput Selectors (DVD/CD, TAPE/THE BRIDGE, HDMI 1/HDMI 2)to the primary or secondary source prior to programming themacro, the remote always requires you to press any of theseselectorsonce to program the macro to select the primarysource andtwice for the secondary source.3. For the Power On command, DO NOT press the Power On Button.Press the Mute Button instead.4. Press the Power Off Button to program the Power Off command.5. Press the Sleep Button to end the programming process.It isn’t possible to “edit” a command within a macro. However, you mayerase the macro as follows:1. Simultaneously press and hold the Mute Button and the MacroButton containing the macro until the Program LED flashes.2. Press the Surround Button to erase the macro.Resetting the RemoteTo reset the remote to its factory defaults, simultaneously press and holdany Input Selector and the “0” Numeric key. When the Program LEDflashes in amber, enter the code “333”. When the green LED goes out,the remote will have been fully reset.Processor ResetThere may be instances when you wish to fully reset the AVR 247 to itsfactory defaults, or the unit may behave erratically after a power surge.To correct erratic behavior, first try turning the Master Power Switch offand unplugging the AC power cord for at least three minutes. Plugthe cord back in and turn the receiver back on. If this doesn’t help,try a system reset.NOTES:• A system reset erases all user configurations, includingspeaker and level settings and tuner presets. After a reset,you will need to reenter all of these settings.• The RS-232 Reset Button on the rear panel of the AVR 247does not perform a system reset. DO NOT press the RS-232Reset Button.To reset the AVR 247, place the receiver in Standby mode (press thefront-panel Standby/On Switch so that the Power Indicator turns amber).Then press and hold the front-panel Tone Mode Button for at least fiveseconds until the RESET message appears in the display.If the receiver still does not function correctly after a processor reset,contact an authorized Harman Kardon service center for assistance.Authorized service centers may be located by visiting our Web siteat www.harmankardon.com.MemoryIf the AVR 247 is unplugged or experiences a power outage, it willretain user settings for up to four weeks.
