Volume Punch-Through; Channel Control Punch-Through; Transport Control Punch-Through - Harman Kardon AVR 210 Owner's Manual

Programming the Remote
buttons when operating most TV sets, VCRs or
cable boxes. The Channel Up/Down indication is
printed directly on the remote. For many stan-
dard CD players, cassette decks, VCRs and DVD
functions, the standard function icons are
printed on top of the buttons.
For some products, however, the function of a
particular button does not follow the command
printed on the remote. In order to see which
function a button controls, consult the Function
List tables printed on pages 37 and 38. To use
those tables, first check the type of device being
controlled (e.g., TV, VCR). Next, look at the
remote control diagram pictured at the left.
Note that each button has a number on it.
To find out what function a particular button
has for a specific device, find the button num-
ber on the Function List and then look in the
column for the device you are controlling. For
example, button number 52 is the Macro 2
button for the AVR 210, but it is the "Favorite"
button for many cable television boxes and
satellite receivers. Button number 31 is the
Delay button for the AVR 210, but the + Time
button for CD players.
Note that the numbers used to describe the
button functions at the left for the purposes of
describing how a button operates are a differ-
ent set of numbers than those used in the rest
of this manual to describe the button functions
for the AVR 210.
Notes on Using the AVR 210 Remote With
Other Devices.
• Manufacturers may use different code sets for
the same product category. For that reason, it
is important that you check to see if the code
set you have entered operates as many con-
trols as possible. If it appears that only a few
functions operate, check to see if another
code set will work with more buttons.
• When a button is pressed on the AVR 210
remote, the red light under the Input
Selector e for the product being operat-
ed should flash briefly. If the Device Control
Selector flashes for some but not all buttons
for a particular product, it does NOT indicate
a problem with the remote but rather that
no function is programmed for the button
being pushed.

Volume Punch-Through

The AVR 210's remote may be programmed to
operate the Volume Control 34
functions of either the TV or the AVR 210
38
in conjunction with any of the devices con-
trolled by the remote. For example, since the
AVR 210 will likely be used as the sound sys-
tem for TV viewing, you may wish to have the
AVR 210's volume activated, although the
remote is set to run the TV. Either the AVR 210
or TV volume control may be associated with
any of the remote's devices. To program the
remote for Volume Punch-Through, follow
these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector e for the unit
you wish to have associated with the volume
control and the Mute button
38
same time until the red light appears under
the Input Selector e and note that the
Program/SPL Indicator c will flash
amber.
2. Press the Volume Up button
34
that the Program/SPL Indicator c will
stop flashing and stay amber.
3. Press either the AVR Selector f or the
Input Selector e, depending on which
system's volume control you wish to have
attached for the punch-through mode. The
Program/SPL Indicator c will blink
green three times and then go out to confirm
the data entry.
Example: To have the AVR 210's volume
control activated even though the remote is
set to control the TV, first press the
Video/TV Input Selector e and the
38
Mute button at the same time. Next,
press the Volume Up button 34
by the AVR Input Selector f.
NOTE: Should you wish to return the remote to
the original configuration after entering a
Volume Punch-Through, you will need to repeat
the steps shown above. However, press the same
Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Channel Control Punch-Through

The AVR 210's remote may be programmed to
operate so that the channel control function for
either the TV, cable or satellite receiver used in
your system may be used in conjunction with
one of the other devices controlled by the
remote. For example, while using and controlling
the VCR, you may wish to change channels on a
cable box or satellite receiver without having to
change the device selected by the AVR 210 or
and Mute
the remote. To program the remote for Channel
Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector button e for the
device you wish to have the channel control
associated with and the Mute button
at the same time until the red light appears
under the Input Selector e and the
Program/SPL Indicator c flashes amber.
2. Press the Volume Down button
Program/SPL Indicator c will stop flash-
ing and stay amber.
3. Press and release the Input Selector button
at the
e for the device that will be used to change
the channels. The Program/SPL Indicator
c will blink green three times and then go
out to confirm the data entry.
Example: To control the channels using your
and note
Cable Box or Satellite Receiver while the
remote is set to control the VCR, first press
the VID 1/VCR Input Selector button e
and the Mute button
Next, release them and press the Volume
Down button
Input Selector button e.
NOTE: To remove the Channel Control Punch-
Through and return the remote to its original
configuration, repeat the steps shown in the
example above. However, press the VID 1/VCR
Input Selector in Steps 1 and 3.

Transport Control Punch-Through

The AVR 210's remote may be programmed to
, followed
operate so that the Transport Control Functions
x (Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Pause and
Record) for a VCR, DVD or CD will operate in
conjunction with one of the other devices con-
trolled by the remote. For example, while using
and controlling the TV, you may wish to start or
stop your VCR or DVD without having to change
the device selected by the AVR 210 or the
remote. To program the remote for Transport
Control Punch-Through, follow these steps:
1. Press the Input Selector e for the device
you wish to have the channel control associ-
ated with and the Mute button
