The AVR45 is equipped with a powerful
remote control that will control not only
the receiver's functions, but also most CD
players and cassette decks manufactured
by Harman Kardon. For increased flexi-
bility, the remote also contains the codes
for most popular brands of audio and
video equipment, including CD players,
cassette decks, TV sets, cable boxes, VCRs,
satellite receivers and other home-theater
equipment. Once the AVR45's remote is
programmed with the codes for the pro-
ducts you own, it is possible to eliminate
most other remotes and replace them
with the convenience of a single, backlit
universal remote control.

Programming the Remote

As shipped from the factory, the remote
is fully programmed for all AVR45 func-
tions, as well as those of most Harman
Kardon CD changers, CD players and cas-
sette decks. In addition, by following one
of the methods below, you may program
the remote to operate a wide range of
devices from other manufacturers.

Direct Code Entry

This method is the easiest way to
program your remote to work with
different products.
1. Use the tables in the following pages
to determine the three-digit code or
codes that match both the product
type (e.g., VCR, TV), but also the
specific brand name. If there is more
than one number for a brand, make
note of the different choices.
2. Turn on the unit you wish to program
into the AVR45 remote.

the red light under the button stays
lit. Note that the next step must take
place while the red light is on, and it
must begin within 20 seconds after
the light illuminates.

the red light will flash twice to confirm
the entry before going dark.
5. If the device to be programmed in
does NOT turn off, continue to enter
the three-digit code numbers until
the equipment turns off. At this point,
the correct code has been entered.
Press the
Device Control Selector

again, and note that the red
light will flash twice to confirm the
entry before going dark.
6. Try all of the functions on the remote
to make certain that the product
operates. Keep in mind that many
manufacturers use a number of dif-
ferent combinations of codes, and it
is a good idea to make certain that
not only the Power control works, but
the volume, channel and transport
controls, as appropriate. If all func-
tions do not work properly, you may
need to use a different remote code.
7. If a code cannot be entered to turn the

ate properly, try programming the
remote with the Auto Search Method.

Auto Search Method

If the unit you wish to include in the
AVR45's remote is not listed in the code
tables in this manual, or if the code does
not seem to operate properly, you may
wish to program the correct code using
the Auto Search method as shown below.
