Zone 2 Remote Control Functions - Harman Kardon AVR 354 Owner's Manual

ZONE 2 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS

The Zone 2 remote is a simplified device for use in the remote room of
a multiroom system with an IR receiver connected to the Multiroom IR
Input. It may be used to control the power, volume and mute functions
for the remote zone; select a source input for the remote zone and con-
trol a compatible Harman Kardon DVD, CD or tape player that is con-
nected to one of the AVR's Remote IR Outputs.
The Zone 2 remote may also be used in the main listening room to
directly control the AVR 354 and Harman Kardon DVD, CD or tape
players. In that case the power, volume and mute controls will affect
only the main listening area.
The Zone 2 remote requires two AAA batteries (included) that are
installed in the battery compartment on the back of the remote. Gently
pull down on the tab at the top of the battery compartment cover and
pull the cover off the remote. Make sure to observe proper polarity by
matching the + and – symbols on the remote to the corresponding
symbols printed inside the compartment.
IR Transmitter:
This button-shaped lens emits infrared codes when
buttons on the remote are pressed. Make sure it is pointing toward the
IR receiver when in the remote room, or the component being operated
when used in the main listening room.
Power Off:
Press this button to turn off the AVR 354. The Zone 2
remote has no Power On Button, since the AVR turns on its multiroom
system automatically when any of the Input Selectors is pressed, even
if the AVR itself is in Standby mode. When in the main listening room,
press any Input Selector or the AVR Selector to turn on the AVR 354,
as you would when using the main system remote.
Mute:
Press this button to mute the AVR 354's remote zone speakers
temporarily. To end the muting, press this button or adjust the volume,
or turn off the multiroom system. Unless the remote is used in the main
listening area, only the remote zone will be affected.
Source Selectors:
Press one of these buttons to select a source
device for the remote zone. It will also turn on the multiroom system
and switch the remote to operate the source device. You may select a
different source device than is in use in the main room. If you select the
same source as the main room, then any commands sent to the source,
such as changing radio stations or skipping tracks on a CD, will affect
both zones. The first press of the Radio Selector switches the AVR to the
last-used tuner band (AM, FM or XM). Each successive press changes
the band.
NOTE: The blank button to the left of the Radio Selector is not
used, even though pressing it causes the Zone Indicator to light up.
Transport Controls:
These buttons have no effect on the receiver,
but are used to control many source components.
AVR Settings Button:
Press this button to display the AVR's Main
Menu. It is also used to switch the remote's device mode from a source
device to the AVR.
Info Settings Button:
Press this button to display the AVR's Info
Menu, which contains the settings for the current source.

Sleep Settings Button:
Press this button to activate the sleep timer,
which turns off the receiver after a programmed period of time of up to
90 minutes. Each successive press increases the timer by 10 minutes,
ending with the "Sleep Off" message.
Back/Exit:
Press this button to return to the previous menu or to exit
the menu system. This button may have the same effect with some
source devices.
Menu Button:
This button is used to display the main menu on some
source devices. To display the AVR 354's main menu, press the AVR
Settings Button.

used to make selections within the menu system. These buttons are
also used to operate the tuner.
Zone Selector and Zone Indicator:
Selector determines whether the AVR commands will affect the main
listening area (Zone 1) or the remote zone (Zone 2). The Zone Indicator
