MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 7300's remote may
be programmed to control up to nine devices,
including the AVR 7300. Before using the remote,
it is important to remember to press the Input
Selector Button 3 that corresponds to the unit
you wish to operate. In addition, the AVR 7300's
remote is shipped from the factory to operate the
AVR 7300 and most Harman Kardon CD or DVD
players and cassette decks. The remote is also
capable of operating a wide variety of other products
using the control codes that are part of the remote.
Before using the remote with other products, follow
the instructions on pages 46 – 55 to program the
proper codes for the products in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the
buttons on the remote take on different functions,
depending on the product selected using the Input
Selectors d. The descriptions shown here primarily
detail the functions of the remote when it is used to
operate the AVR 7300.
a Power Off Button: Press this button to place
the AVR 7300 or a selected device in the Standby
mode. Note that this will turn off the main room
functions, but if the Multiroom system is activated,
it will continue to function.

the power to a device selected by first pressing one of
the Input Selectors 3.

will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the
AVR 7300 is not turned on, this will power up the unit.
Next, it will select the source shown on the button as
the input to the AVR 7300. Finally, it will change the
remote control so that it controls the device selected.
After pressing one of these buttons, you must press
the AVR Selector Button 4 again to operate the
AVR 7300's functions with the remote.
4 AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the
remote so that it will operate the AVR 7300's functions.

change the tuner mode between manual and
automatic. When the button is pressed so that
AUTO/STEREO appears in the Upper

and the tuner will play FM stations in stereo, when
available. In the AUTO mode, when the Tuning
Up/Down Buttons 4w≠ are pressed, the unit
will automatically search for the next available station
with good signal strength. When this button is pressed
so that MANUAL/MONO appears in the Upper
Display Line # and in the on-screen display, each
press of the Tuning Up/Down Buttons 4w≠
will move the frequency up or down in single-step
increments. When the FM band is in use, pressing the
