INSTALLATION
a) Place the two remotes so that their IR transmitters face each other
end to end, separated by about one inch. See Figure 39. The
AVR 354 remote's transmitter also serves as an IR receiver during
the learning process.
Figure 39 – AVR 354 and Original Remote Head-to-Head
b) Press the Source Selector for the device mode you wish to learn
a code into, and place the AVR 354 remote in Learning mode by
pressing and holding the Learn Button until the Source Selector lights
up, then release. See Figure 40.
Figure 40 – Learning Remote Commands
c) Press the button on the AVR 350 remote you wish to program with
the new code, and the Source Selector will flash once. You may
learn a new code into the following buttons: Device Power On/Off,
Alphanumeric Keys, Last Button, Back/Exit Button, Menu Button,

Navigation Buttons, OK Button, Disc Menu Button,

the four Teletext Buttons, Channel Up/Down, Volume Up/Down,
Mute and the Transport Controls (including Record).
d) Press and hold the button on the device's original remote whose
code you wish to "learn" until the Source Selector flashes three
times, then release.
e) You may program additional buttons by repeating steps c) and d).
Press the Learn Button once to exit Learning mode, or wait for the
remote to "time out" and exit Learning mode on its own after about
30 seconds.
If you are unable to locate a code set that correctly operates your
source device, it will not be possible to use the AVR remote to control
that device. However, you may still connect the source to the AVR 354
and operate it using the device's original remote control.
Most of the button labels on the remote describe the button's function
when used to control the AVR 354. However, the button may perform
a very different function when used to control another device. Refer to
the Remote Control Function List, Table A13 in the Appendix, for a list
of each button's functions with the various product types.
If you wish, you may program Activities, which are preprogrammed code
sequences that execute many code commands with a single button
press. You may also program "punch-through" codes, which allow the
remote to operate the channel or transport controls of another device
without having to switch the remote's device mode. See page 56 for
instructions on these advanced programming functions.

Step Nine – Remote IR Inputs and Output
The AVR 354 is equipped with a Remote IR Input, a Zone 2 Input and
both full-carrier and stripped Remote IR Outputs to facilitate use of your
system with a remote control in a variety of situations. See Figure 41.

Figure 41 – IR Inputs and Outputs
When the AVR 354 is placed in such a way that aiming the remote at the
front-panel IR sensor is difficult, such as inside a cabinet or facing away from
the listener, you may connect an external IR receiver, such as the optional
Harman Kardon HE 1000, to the Remote IR Input jack. When you are using
the AVR 354 in multizone mode, you may connect an optional IR receiver,
keypad or other control device to the Zone 2 IR Input for remote control
of the AVR 354 (and any sources connected to the AVR's Remote IR
Output) from the remote zone. Any signals transmitted through the Zone 2
IR Input will only control source selection and volume for the remote zone.
If a source device is being shared with the main listening area, then any
control commands issued to that source will also affect the main room.
If any of your source devices are equipped with a compatible Remote
IR Input, use a 1/8" mini-plug interconnect cable (not included) to con-
nect the AVR's Remote IR Output to the source device's Remote IR
Input, which will pass any applicable remote signals transmitted through
the AVR to the source device. This enables you to control your sources
even when the AVR itself is controlled via an external IR receiver.
Check with the manufacturer of the source device for more information
on the type of IR signal expected. The AVR 354 will output a "stripped
carrier" IR signal through the Remote IR Output, but a full-carrier IR
signal is available at the Carrier Remote IR Output.
To control more than one source device using the Remote IR Output,
connect all sources in "daisy chain" fashion, with the AVR's Remote
IR Output connected to the first device's Remote IR Input, the second
device's Remote IR Output connected to the next device's Remote
IR Input, and so forth. Connect devices expecting a full-carrier IR signal
to the Carrier Remote IR Output. Use the Remote IR Output for devices
expecting a stripped signal.
Step Ten – Install a Multizone System
The AVR 354 offers several methods of distributing music to other
listening areas in your home. A multizone system is not required to enjoy
the home theater experience. If you prefer not to install a multizone
system at this time, skip to Step Eleven to turn on the AVR 354 and
configure it.
