AVR325
MAIN REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTIONS
IMPORTANT NOTE: The AVR 325's remote may be
programmed to control up to eight devices, including
the AVR 325. Before using the remote, it is important to
remember to press the Input Selector Button e
that corresponds to the unit you wish to operate.
In addition, the AVR 325's remote is shipped from
the factory to operate the AVR 325 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
36–37 to program the proper codes for the products
in your system.
It is also important to remember that many of the but-
tons on the remote take on different functions, depend-
ing on the product selected using the Device Control
Selectors. The descriptions shown here primarily detail
the functions of the remote when it is used to operate
the AVR 325. (See page 40 for information about
alternate functions for the remote's buttons.)
a Power Off Button: Press this button to place the
AVR 325 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.
b IR Transmitter Window: Point this window
towards the AVR 325 when pressing buttons on the
remote to make certain that infrared commands are
properly received.
c Program/SPL Indicator: This three-color indica-
tor is used to guide you through the process of pro-
gramming the remote or learning commands from a
remote into the AVR 325's remote code memory and
it is also used as a level indicator when using the
remote's EzSet capabilities. (See page 24 for more
information on setting output levels, and see page 36
for information on programming the remote.)
d Power On Button: Press this button to turn on
the power to a device selected by pressing one of the
Input Selectors e.
e Input Selectors: Pressing one of these buttons
will perform three actions at the same time. First, if the
AVR 325 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 325. 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 f again to operate the
AVR 325's functions with the remote.
f AVR Selector: Pressing this button will switch the
remote so that it will operate the AVR 325's functions. If
the AVR 325 is in the Standby mode, it will also turn the
AVR 325 on.
g AM/FM Tuner Select: Press this button to select
the AVR 325's tuner as the listening choice. Pressing
this button when the tuner is already in use will select
between the AM and FM bands.
h 6-Channel/8-Channel Direct Input: Press
this button to select the device connected to the
8-Channel Direct Inputs 40 . (See page 26 for
more information.)
i Test Button: Press this button to begin the
sequence used to calibrate the AVR 325's output levels.
(See page 24 for more information on calibrating the
AVR 325.)
j Sleep Button: Press this button to place the unit
in the Sleep mode. After the time shown in the display,
the AVR 325 will automatically go into the Standby
mode. Each press of the button changes the time until
turn-off in the following order:
90 80 70 60
min min min min
40 30 20 10
min min min min
This button is also used to change channels on your
TV when the TV is selected.
When the AVR 325 remote is being programmed with
the codes to operate another device, this button is also
used in the "Auto Search" process. (See page 36 for
more information on programming the remote.)
k Surround Mode Selector: Press this button to
cycle through the DSP, VMAx and Stereo surround
modes such as Hall, Theater, VMAx Near and Far, and
Surround Off. This button is also used to tune channels
when the TV is selected using the device Input
Selector e. When the AVR 325 remote is being
programmed with the codes of another device, this
button is also used in the "Auto Search" process.
(See page 36 for more information on programming
the remote.)
l Night Mode: Press this button to activate the
Night mode. This mode is available in specially
encoded digital sources, and it preserves dialogue
(center channel) intelligibility at low volume levels.
m Channel Select Button: This button is used to
start the process of setting the AVR 325's output levels to
an external source. Once this button is pressed, use the
Buttons n to select the channel being adjusted,
/
⁄ ¤
then press the Set Button p, followed by the
Buttons n again, to change the level setting. (See
page 31 for more information.)
n
Buttons: These multipurpose buttons are
/
⁄ ¤
used to change or scroll through items in the on-
12
12
screen menus, make configuration settings such as
digital inputs or delay timing, or to select surround
modes. When changing a setting, first press the button
for the function or setting to be changed (e.g., press
the Surround Mode Selector k to select a sound
field mode or the Digital Select Button q to
change a digital input) and then press one of these
buttons to scroll through the list of options or to
increase or decrease a setting. The sections in this
manual describing the individual features and functions
contain specific information on using these buttons for
each application.

r Numeric Keys: These buttons serve as a 10-
button numeric keypad to enter tuner preset positions.
They are also used to select channel numbers when
TV, Cable or SAT has been selected on the remote, or
to select track numbers on a CD, DVD or LD player,
depending on how the remote has been programmed.
s Tuner Mode: Press this button when the tuner is
in use to select between automatic tuning and manual
tuning. When the button is pressed so that the AUTO
Indicator J goes out, pressing the Tuning Buttons
u9≠ will move the frequency up or down in
single-step increments. When the FM band is in use,
pressing this button when a station's signal is weak will
change to monaural reception. (See page 30 for more
information.)
t Direct Button: Press this button when the tuner
is in use to start the sequence for direct entry of a sta-
tion's frequency. After pressing the button, simply
press the proper Numeric Keys r to select a sta-
tion. (See page 30 for more information on the tuner.)
u Tuning Up/Down: When the tuner is in use, these
buttons will tune up or down through the selected fre-
quency band. If the Tuner Mode Button s^ has
been pressed so that the AUTO Indicator J is illumi-
nated, pressing and holding either of the buttons for
three seconds will cause the tuner to seek the next sta-
/
⁄ ¤
tion with acceptable signal strength for quality reception.
When the AUTO Indicator J is NOT illuminated,
pressing these buttons will tune stations in single-step
increments. (See page 30 for more information.)
