PROGRAMMING THE REMOTE 53ENGLISHProgramming the RemoteThe AVR 347 is equipped with a powerfulremote control that will control not only thereceiver’s functions, but also most popularbrands of audio and video equipment, includingCD players, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs, satellitereceivers and other home-theater equipment.Once the AVR’s remote is programmed with thecodes for the products you own, it is possible toeliminate most other remotes and replace themwith the convenience of a single universalremote control.Programming the Remotewith CodesAs shipped from the factory, the remote is fullyprogrammed for all AVR functions, as well asthose of most Harman Kardon CD changers, DVDplayers, CD players and cassette decks as well asthe navigation controls for the Apple iPod. Inaddition, by following one of the methods below,you may program the remote to operate a widerange of devices from other manufacturers.Direct Code EntryThis method is the easiest way to program yourremote to work with different products.1. Use the tables in the separate setup-codeguide to determine the three-digit code or codesthat match both the product type (e.g., VCR, TV),and the specific brand name. If there is morethan one number for a brand, make note of thedifferent choices.2. Turn on the unit you wish to program into theAVR remote.3. Press and hold both the Input Selector 4for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR,TV) and the Mute button at the sametime. When the Program Indicator 2 turnsamber and begins flashing, release the buttons.It is important that you begin the next step with-in 20 seconds.4. If the unit you wish to program into theAVR remote has a remotable Power on/off func-tion, follow these steps:a. Point the AVR’s remote towards the unit to beprogrammed, and enter the first three-digitcode number using the Numeric buttons H.If the unit being programmed turns off, the cor-rect code has been entered. Press the InputSelector 4 again, and note that the redlight under the Input Selector will flash threetimes before going dark to confirm the entry.b. If the product to be programmed does NOTturn off, continue to enter the three-digit codenumbers until the equipment turns off. At thispoint, the correct code has been entered.Press the Input Selector 4 again and notethat the red light under the Input Selectorwill flash three times before going dark toconfirm the entry.5. If the Power function of the unit to be pro-grammed cannot be remoted, follow these steps(max. 20 seconds after step 3 above, or else step3 must be repeated first):a. Enter the first three-digit code number usingthe Numeric buttons H and press theInput Selector 4 again. Press the remotebutton of any transport function remotablewith the unit, e.g. Pause or Play fl P. Ifthe unit being programmed starts thatfunction, the correct code has been entered.b. If the unit does not start the function whosebutton was pressed, repeat steps 3 and 5aabove with the next three-digit code numberlisted in the setup code table for that brandand product type, until the unit reacts properlyon the transport function transmitted.6. Try all of the functions on the remote to makecertain that the product operates properly. Keepin mind that many manufacturers use a numberof different combinations of codes, so it is agood idea to make certain that not only does thePower control work, but that the volume, chan-nel and transport controls work as they should.If functions do not work properly, you may needto use a different remote code.7. If the unit does not react to any codeentered, if the code for your product does notappear in the tables in the separate setup-codeguide, or if not all functions operate properly,try programming the remote with the AutoSearch Method.Note on Using the AVR remote with aHarman Kardon CD Recorder.As shipped from the factory. the remote isprogrammed for controlling Harman Kardon CDplayers. It can also control most functions ofthe Harman Kardon CD-Recorders (see functionlist on page 58-59) too after the code ”002” isentered on the CD Selector button 4 asdescribed above. For returning to the CD playercontrol commands the code ”001” must beentered.Auto-Search MethodIf the unit you wish to include in the AVR’sremote is not listed in the code tables in theseparate setup-code guide or if the code doesnot seem to operate properly, you may wish toprogram the correct code using the Auto Searchmethod that follows. Note that the Auto Searchmethod works only with units whose Powerfunctions can be remoted:1. Turn on the product that you wish to includein the AVR remote.2. Press and hold both the Input Selector 4for the type of product to be entered (e.g., VCR,TV) and the Mute button at the sametime. When the Program Indicator 2 turnsamber and begins flashing, release the buttons.It is important that you begin the next step with-in 20 seconds.3. To find out if the code for your unit is pre-pro-grammed, point the AVR remote towards the unitto be programmed, and press and hold the ⁄buttonD. This will send out a series of codesfrom the remote’s built-in data base, with eachflash of the red light under the Input Selector4 indicating that a code has been sent. Whenthe device to be programmed turns off,immedi-ately release the ⁄ buttonD. Note that it maytake one minute or more until the right code isfound and the unit turns off.4. When the ⁄ button was not released in timeafter the unit turned off, the proper code will be”overrun”. That’s why a function test should bemade: Turn the unit on again and, while theInput Selector 4 still lights red, press the ⁄buttonD once, than the ¤ button D oncetoo. When the unit turns off, the right code wasfound, when not, the code was ”overrun”. To re-find the correct, while the Input Selector 4still lights red, press (not hold pressed) the ¤button D repeatedly to step backwardsthrough the codes available and observe thereaction of the unit at each press. As soon as theunit turns off the correct code is found.5. Press the Input Selector 4 again, andnote that the red light will flash three timesbefore going dark to confirm the entry.6. Try all of the functions on the remote to makecertain that the product operates. Keep in mindthat many manufacturers use a number of differ-ent combinations of codes, and it is a good ideato make certain that not only the Power controlworks, but the volume, channel and transportcontrols, as appropriate. If all functions do notwork properly, you may need to Auto-Search fora different code, or enter a code via the DirectCode Entry method.Code ReadoutWhen the code has been entered using the AutoSearch method, it is always a good idea to findout the exact code so that it may be easily reen-tered if necessary. You may also read the codesto verify which device has been programmed toa specific Control Selector button.1. Press and hold both the Input Selector 4for the device you wish to find the code for andthe Mute button at the same time. Notethat the Program Indicator 2 will initallyturn amber and begin flashing. Release the but-tons and begin the next step within20 seconds.2. Press the Set button F. The ProgramIndicator 2 will then blink green in asequence that corresponds to the three-digitcode, with a one-second pause between eachdigit. Count the number of blinks between eachpause to determine the digit of the code. Oneblink is the number 1, two blinks is the number2, and so forth. Note that a rapid sequence ofthree blinks is used to indicate a “0.”
