Programming the RemoteNotes on Using the AVRRemote With Other Devices.• Manufacturers may use different code sets forthe same product category. For that reason, it isimportant that you check to see if the code setyou have entered operates as many controls aspossible. If it appears that only a few functionsoperate, check to see if another code set willwork with more buttons.• Depending on the brand and product typeused the functions listed in the Function Listtables may not correspond with the function theunit reacts on the command. In these cases it’s agood idea to edit the reaction of the unit intothe corresponding line of the table or to set up aseparate list.• When a button is pressed on the AVR remote,the red light under the Input Selector cyfor the product being operated should flashbriefly. If the Device Control Selector flashes forsome but not all buttons for a particularproduct, it does NOT indicate a problem with theremote, but rather that no function isprogrammed for the button being pushed.Punch-Through ProgrammingThe AVR 355/AVR 255 remote’s punch-throughfeature allows you to select one component forthe remote to operate, while simultaneously set-ting certain groups of controls to operate anoth-er component. For example, while using the AVRto control surround modes and other audio func-tions, you may operate the transport controls ofyour DVD player. Or while using the remote tocontrol video functions on your TV, you may useyour cable box to change channels.To program punch-through control while operat-ing any device:1. Press and hold the Source Selector (or AVRselector) for the main device the remote willbe operating. The Source Selector will light, godark and then light up again, indicating theremote is in Program mode and that you mayrelease the button.2. Select the type of punch-through program-ming.a) To program channel control punch-through,press the Channel Up Button.b) To program transport control punch-through, press the Play Button.3. Press the Source Selector for the device whosechannel or transport controls you would liketo be active while operating the device youselected in the first step. The Source Selectorwill flash to confirm the programming.For example, if you wish to watch your TV whilechanging channels using your cable box, firstpress the TV Button until it lights. Then press theChannel Up Button, followed by the CBL/SATButton.To undo punch-through programming, followthe same steps as above, but press the sameSource Selector in Steps 1 and 3.NOTE: The remote always allows volume-controlpunchthrough, since the Volume and Mute con-trols are dedicated to the AVR.Resetting the Remote MemoryAs you add components to your home-theatersystem, occasionally you may wish to totallyreprogram the remote control without theconfusion of any commands, activities or ”Punch-Through“ programming that you may have done.To do this, it is possible to reset the remote to theoriginal factory defaults and command codes byfollowing these steps. Note, however, that oncethe remote is reset, all commands or codes thatyou have entered will be erased and will need tobe re-entered:1. Press the TV Device Button c and the "0"number Button k simultaneously. The TV buttonlights up.2. Press the ”3“ button k three times.3. After a number of seconds, depending on thenumber of commands that are programmed andneed erasing, all the Device Buttons c as well asthe AVR Button y blink 3 times to indicate thatthe remote has been reset to the factory settings.ENGLISHharman/kardonAVR 355/230 Service ManualPage 5 of 125
