Once this setting is made, you may press the
Navigation Button o to make any of the other
adjustments available on this menu. If no other adjust-

Multiroom Operation
When operating the AVR 7300 from a remote room
location where an IR sensor link has been connected
to the AVR 7300's rear-panel Multiroom IR Input
B, you may use either the main remote control or
the Zone II remote. To turn on the multiroom feed,
press the AVR Selector e∫ to turn the unit
on to the last source, or any of the other Selector
Buttons ç∂d
to turn on to a
specific source.
As long as an IR feed to the AVR 7300 has been
established from the remote room, using any of the
buttons on either remote will control the remote loca-
tion volume rî, change the tuner frequency
wÉ, change the tuner preset v© or mute
the output ˚.
If the Remote IR Output Jack C on the AVR 7300
is connected to an IR Input jack on compatible
Harman Kardon audio components such as CD, DVD
or cassette players, the transport functions of those
machines may also be controlled using the Transport
Controls tuƒ©˙∆ on either
remote control.
To turn the system off from the remote room, press
the Power Off Button aå. Remember that the
AVR 7300 may be turned on or off from the remote
room, regardless of the system's operation or status in
the main room.
NOTE: When the tuner is selected as the source for
the remote zone, any change to the frequency or pre-
set will also change the station being listened to in the
main room, if the tuner is in use there. Similarly, if
someone in the main room changes the station, the
change will also have an impact on the remote room.
To turn on the Multiroom system from the main listen-
ing room, press the Multiroom Button
remote. When the MULTI ON/OFF message
appears in the on-screen display and the Lower
Display Line $, press the Set Button q and
Navigation Button o so
then press the /
⁄ ¤
the display changes to MULTI ON. Press the
Set Button q again to activate the setting. Note
that this method may be used to turn the Multiroom
system on or off even when the AVR is in the Standby
mode in the main listening room.
/ When the Multiroom system is turned on, the input
⁄ ¤
selected using the Multiroom menu will be fed to the
Multiroom Audio and Video Outputs Oø on the
rear panel as well as the A-BUS Connector L. The
to exit
volume will be as set in the previous selection, although
it may also be adjusted using an optional IR sensor and
the Zone II remote in the remote location, or the A-BUS
keypad, or on the optional audio power amplifier con-
nected to the Multiroom Audio Outputs ø.
Although changes to the input source or remote room
volume will normally be made using an IR sensor in
the remote room that is connected to the AVR, it is
also possible to change those settings from the main
listening room. This is useful for situations where some
or all of the remote rooms do not have an IR sensor,
or to take control over the remote room without actu-
ally being in that room.
In addition to using the MULTI-ROOM
SETUP menu, as shown on the previous page, you
may change the source or volume in the remote zone
using the remote. Press the Multiroom Button `
on the remote, and when the MULTI ON/OFF
message appears in the on-screen display and the
Lower Display Line $, press the Set Button q
and then press the /
⁄ ¤
toggle past that message to MULTI LEVEL
or MULTI INPUT.
To change the remote room's input source, when
MULTI INPUT appears, press the Set Button
q, and then press the
o until the desired input appears in the on-screen
display and in the Lower Display Line $.
To change the remote room's volume, when
MULTI LEVEL appears, press the Set Button
q, and press the
/
⁄
to change the volume setting. Note that this volume
adjustment controls the level for the output to the
Multiroom Audio Outputs ø and for any speakers
connected to the Surround Back/Multiroom
Speaker Outputs ç when the Surround Back
amplifier channels are configured for Multiroom use,
as shown on page 44. This adjustment does NOT
on the change the volume level for any room where an
A-BUS module is used, as that setting is only
adjustable using the A-BUS module's volume
control or built-in IR sensor.
Once the Multiroom system is turned on, it will remain
on even if the AVR 7300 is placed in the Standby
mode in the main room by pressing the Power Off
Button å or the Main Power Switch A on the
front panel.
MULTIROOM OPERATION
The Multiroom system will remain on even if the
unit is turned off in the main room. In that event,
although front-panel indicators and the accent
lighting around the volume control will turn off, a
MULTI-ROOM ON message will remain in
the Lower Display Line $ to remind you that
power is still applied to the unit, and that it is being
used for Multiroom operation elsewhere in the house.
Remember that if you turn the unit completely off by
pressing the Main Power Switch
the second zone will also be turned off.
When the AVR 7300 is turned off in the main room,
the Multiroom system may be turned on at any time
by pressing the Multiroom Button `, or any of the
Selector Buttons ∫ç∂ in the remote room.

Note, however, that only the remote codes applica-

source devices will function. Buttons used to change
other "Main Room" listening functions such as sur-
round mode changes will not work with the multi-
room system.
