Main Remote Control Functions - Harman Kardon AVR510 Preliminary Service Manual

Main Remote Control Functions

IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 510's remote
may be programmed to control up to eight
devices, including the AVR 510. Before using the
remote, it is important to remember to press the
Input Selector button e that corresponds to
the unit you wish to operate. In addition, the
AVR 510's remote is shipped from the factory to
operate the AVR 510 and most Harman Kardon
CD or DVD players and cassette decks. The
remote is also capable of operating a wide vari-
ety of other products using the control codes
that are part of the remote. Before using the
remote with other products, follow the instruc-
tions on pages 36–40 to program the proper
codes for the products in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of
the buttons on the remote take on different
functions, depending on the product selected
using the Device Control Selectors. The descrip-
tions shown here primarily detail the functions
of the remote when it is used to operate the
AVR 510. (See page 40 for information about
alternate functions for the remote's buttons.)
a Power On Button: Press this button to
turn on the power to a device selected by press-
ing one of the Input Selectors e.
b IR Transmitter Window: Point this win-
dow towards the AVR 510 when pressing buttons
on the remote to make certain that infrared com-
mands are properly received.
c Program/SPL Indicator: This three-color
indicator is used to guide you through the
process of programming the remote or learning
commands from a remote into the AVR 510's
remote code memory and it is also used as a
level indicator when using the remote's EzSet
capabilities. (See page 23 for more information
on setting output levels, and see page 36 for
information on programming the remote.)
d Power Off Button: Press this button to
place the AVR 510 or a selected device in the
Standby mode. Note that this will turn off the
main room functions, but if the Multiroom sys-
tem is activated, it will continue to function.
e Input Selectors: Pressing one of these
buttons will perform three actions at the same
time. First, if the AVR 510 is not turned on, this
will power up the unit. Next, it will select the
source shown on the button as the input to the
AVR 510. Finally, it will change the remote con-
trol so that it controls the device selected. After
pressing one of these buttons you must press
the AVR Selector button f again to oper-
ate the AVR 510's functions with the remote.
12 MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
f AVR Selector: Pressing this button will
switch the remote so that it will operate the
AVR 510's functions. If the AVR 510 is in the
Standby mode, it will also turn the AVR 510 on.
g AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to
select the AVR 510's tuner as the listening
choice. Pressing this button when the tuner is
already in use will select between the AM and
FM bands.
h Learn Button: Press this button to begin
the process of "learning" the codes from another
product's remote into the AVR 510's remote. (See
page 37 for more information on using the
remote's learning function.)
i Test Button: Press this button to begin
the sequence used to calibrate the AVR 510's
output levels. (See page 23 for more information
on calibrating the AVR 510.)
j Sleep Button: Press this button to place
the unit in the Sleep mode. After the time
shown in the display, the AVR 510 will auto-
matically go into the Standby mode. Each press
of the button changes the time until turn-off in
the following order:
90 80 70 60
min min min min
40 30 20 10
min min min min
Note that this button is also used to change
channels on your TV when the TV is selected.
When the AVR 510 remote is being programmed
with the codes to operate another device, this
button is also used in the "Auto Search" process.
(See page 36 for more information on program-
ming the remote.)
k Surround Mode Selector: Press this
button to begin the process of changing
the surround mode. After the button has
buttons n to
been pressed, use the
/
⁄ ¤
select the desired surround mode. (See page 28
for more information.) Note that this button is
also used to tune channels when the TV is
selected using the device Input Selector
e. When the AVR 510 remote is being pro-
grammed with the codes of another device, this
button is also used in the "Auto Search"
process. (See page 36 for more information on
programming the remote.)
l Night Mode: Press this button to activate
the Night mode. This mode is available in spe-
cially encoded digital sources, and it preserves
dialog (center channel) intelligibility at low
volume levels.
m Channel Select Button: This button is
used to start the process of setting the AVR 510's
output levels to an external source. Once this but-
ton is pressed, use the
select the channel being adjusted, then press the
Set button p, followed by the
again, to change the level setting. (See page 31
for more information.)
n
Buttons: These are multi-purpose
/
⁄ ¤
buttons. They will be used most frequently to
select a surround mode. To change the surround
mode, first press the Surround Mode
k. Next press these buttons to scroll up or
down through the list of surround modes that
appear in the Main Information Display 2 5 ..
These buttons are also used to increase or
decrease output levels when configuring the
unit with either the internal test tone or an
external source. They are also used to enter
delay time settings after the Delay button
has been pressed.
o
‹ Button: This button is used to change
the menu selection or setting during some of
the setup procedures for the AVR 510.
50
min
p Set Button: This button is used to enter
OFF
settings into the AVR 510's memory. It is also
used in the setup procedures for delay time,
speaker configuration and channel output level
adjustment.
q Digital Select: Press this button to assign
one of the digital inputs # % to a source.
(See page 28 for more information on using
digital inputs.)
r Numeric Keys: These buttons serve as a
ten-button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset
positions. They are also used to select channel
numbers when TV has been selected on the
remote, or to select track numbers on a CD,
DVD or LD player, depending on how the
remote has been programmed.
s Tuner Mode: Press this button when the
tuner is in use to select between automatic
tuning and manual tuning. When the button is
pressed so that the AUTO indicator X goes
out, pressing the Tuning buttons u8≠
will move the frequency up or down in single-
step increments. When the FM band is in use,
pressing this button when a station's signal is
weak will change to monaural reception. (See
page 30 for more information.)
