12 12REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONSThe AVR 154 remote is capable of controlling up to 11 devices, includingthe AVR itself and a device connected to the Auxiliary Input. During theinstallation process, you may program the codes for each of your sourcecomponents into the remote. Each time you wish to use the codes forany component, first press the Selector button for that component. Thischanges the button functions to the appropriate codes.Each Input Selector has been preprogrammed to control certain typesof components, with only the codes specific to each brand and modelchanging, depending on which product code is programmed. Thedevice types programmed into each selector, except the HDMI selectors,may not be changed.DVD: Controls DVD players and recorders.CD: Controls CD players and recorders.Tape: Controls cassette decks.Video 1: Controls VCRs, TiVo® devices and DVRs, and theHarman Kardon DMC 1000 digital media center.Video 2: Controls cable and satellite television set-top boxes.Video 3: Controls televisions and other video displays.HDMI 1, 2 and 3: Each code set controls a source device(VCR/PVR/DVD player or cable/satellite set-top box) connected toone of these inputs.AUX: Controls a device connected to the Auxiliary Input.Any given button may have different functions, depending on whichcomponent is being controlled. Some buttons are labeled with thesefunctions. For example, the Sleep and DSP Surround Buttons arelabeled for use as Channel Up/Down Buttons when controlling a televi-sion or cable box. See Table A8 in the appendix for listings of thedifferent functions for each type of component.IR Transmitter Lens: As buttons are pressed on the remote,infrared codes are emitted through this lens. Make sure it is pointingtoward the component being operated.Power On Button: Press this button to turn on the AVR or anotherdevice. The Main Power Switch on the AVR 154’s front panel must firsthave been switched on.Mute Button: Press this button to mute the AVR 154’s speaker andheadphone outputs temporarily. To end the muting, press this buttonor adjust the volume. Muting is also canceled when the receiver isturned off.Program Indicator: This LED lights up or flashes in one of three colorsas the remote is programmed with codes.Power Off Button: Press this button to turn off the AVR 154 oranother device.AVR Selector: Press this button to switch the remote to the codesthat operate the receiver.Input Selectors: Press one of these buttons to select a sourcedevice, which is a component where a playback signal originates, e.g.,DVD, CD, cable TV, satellite or HDTV tuner. This will also turn on thereceiver and switch the remote’s mode to operate the source device.AM/FM Button: Press this button to select the tuner as the source,or to switch between the AM and FM bands.6-Channel Input Selector: Press this button to select the6-Channel Inputs as the audio source. If a signal is present at the compo-nent video inputs assigned to this source, it will be used. If not, the receiverwill use the video input and remote control codes for the last-selectedanalog video source.Test Tone: Press this button to activate the test tone for manualoutput-level calibration.TV/Video: This button has no effect on the receiver, but is used toswitch video inputs on some video source components.Sleep Button: Press this button to activate the sleep timer, whichturns off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to90 minutes.Volume Controls: Press these buttons to raise or lower the volume,which will be shown in decibels (dB) in the Message Display.DSP Surround: Press this button to select a DSP surround mode(Hall 1, Hall 2, Theater).On-Screen Display (OSD): Press this button to activate theon-screen menu system.Channel Level: Press this button to adjust the output levels foreach channel so that all speakers sound equally loud at the listeningposition. Usually this is done while playing an audio selection, such asa favorite CD, after you have configured the speakers, as described inthe Initial Setup section.Speaker Setup: Press this button to configure speaker sizes, that is,the low-frequency capability of each speaker. Usually this is done usingthe on-screen menu system, as described in the Initial Setup section.Navigation (⁄/¤/‹/›) and OK Buttons: These buttons areused to make selections within the on-screen menu system, or whenaccessing the functions of the four buttons surrounding this area of theremote – Channel Level, Speaker Setup, Digital Input or Delay.Digital Input Select: Press this button to select the specific digitalaudio input (or analog audio input) you used for the current source.Delay: Press this button to set delay times that compensate for placingthe speakers at different distances from the listening position, or toresolve a “lip sync” issue that may be caused by digital video processing.This may also be done using the on-screen menu system, as describedin the Initial Setup section.Numeric Keys: Use these buttons to enter radio station frequenciesor to select station presets. Press the Direct Button before entering thestation frequency.
