out so that the word OFF appears on its top. Gently press the button toturn the switch off. This will prevent the possibility of damaging the AVRin case of a transient power surge.Step Seven – Insert Batteries in RemoteThe AVR 247 remote control uses three AAA batteries, which are included.To remove the battery cover located on the back of the remote,firmly press the ridged depression and slide the cover toward the topof the remote.Insert the batteries, as shown in Figure 34, making sure to observethe correct polarity.Figure 34 – Remote Battery CompartmentWhen using the remote, remember to point the lens toward the frontpanel of the AVR 247. Make sure no objects, such as furniture, areblocking the remote’s path to the receiver. Bright lights, fluorescent lightsand plasma video displays may interfere with the remote’s functioning.The remote has a range of about 20 feet, depending on the lightingconditions. It may be used at an angle of up to 30 degrees to eitherside of the AVR.If the remote seems to operate intermittently, or if pressing a buttonon the remote does not cause the AVR Selector or one of the InputSelectors to light up, then make sure the batteries have been insertedcorrectly, or replace all three batteries with fresh ones.Step Eight – Program Sources Into the RemoteThe AVR 247 remote not only is capable of controlling the receiver,but it may also be programmed to control many brands and models ofVCRs, DVD players, CD players, cable boxes, satellite receivers, cassettedecks and TVs, as well as an iPod docked in The Bridge.It may help to think of the remote as a book with pages. Each “page”represents the button functions for a different device. In order to accessthe functions for a particular device, you first need to turn to that page;that is, switch the remote to that device mode. This is done by pressingthe AVR Button to access the codes that control the receiver, or theInput Selector Buttons to access the codes for the devices programmedinto the remote.You may have noticed that three of the Input Selectors look differentfrom the others (see Figure 35). For the DVD/CD, TAPE/The Bridge andHDMI 1/HDMI 2 Selectors, there is a primary source, the name of whichis printed on the button, and a secondary source, the name of which isprinted in green above the button.When the remote is in the device mode for the primary source, e.g., DVD,pressing the device selector will cause it to light up in red. When theremote is in the secondary source’s device mode, the selector will lightup in green when pressed.To switch between the primary and secondary device modes, press theselector twice quickly in succession. The selector will retain this selectionuntil the next time you toggle between the primary and secondary devicemodes. That is, if you press the DVD/CD Selector twice quickly so thatthe CD source is activated, then press another source selector, such asVideo 1, the next time you press the DVD/CD Selector, the remote willreturn to the CD device mode.The AVR 247’s remote is factory-programmed to control an iPoddocked in The Bridge and many Harman Kardon DVD and CD players.If you have other source devices in your system, follow these steps toprogram the correct codes into the remote.1. Using the codes in Tables A9–A16 of the Appendix, look up theproduct type (e.g., DVD, cable TV box) and the brand name of yoursource. The number(s) listed is/are potential candidates for thecorrect code set for your particular device.2. Turn on your source device.3. This step places the remote in program mode, and varies slightly,depending on which Input Selector is being programmed. Refer toFigure 35.a) DVD, Tape, Video 1, Video 2, Video 3 and Video 4 Sources:Press and hold the Input Selector until the Program Indicator LEDstarts to flash, then release it. Follow the directions in Step 4, below.b) CD Source: Press the DVD/CD Input Selector twice quickly sothat it turns green, hold it until the Program LED starts to flash,then release. Follow the directions in Step 4, below.c) HDMI 1 Source: Press and hold the Input Selector until it turnsred and the Program LED starts to flash, then release it. Next,press the Input Selector that corresponds to the device type youwant to program into the HDMI 1 mode, i.e., DVD, VCR/PVR orCBL/SAT. Then follow the directions in Step 4, below.d) HDMI 2 Source: Press and release the Input Selector once, thenquickly press the Input Selector again so that it turns green. Holdit until the Program LED starts to flash, then release it. Next, pressthe Input Selector that corresponds to the device type you want toprogram into the HDMI 2 mode, i.e., DVD, VCR/PVR or CBL/SAT.Then follow the directions in Step 4, below.Figure 35 – Input Selectors28INSTALLATION
