Programming The Remote; Pre-Programmed Functions; Learning Commands From Another Remote - Harman Kardon AVR35RDS User Manual

The AVR35RDS is equipped with a power-
ful backlit remote control that will control
up to seven additional devices, in addition
to all the features of the AVR35RDS. It is
pre-programmed to operate most CD play-
ers and cassette decks manufactured by
Harman Kardon, and it may also be pro-
grammed with codes from most current
infrared remote controls. This means that
once programmed, the AVR35RDS remote
will not only operate your receiver and
audio system, but most TV sets, VCRs, DVD
and LD players, satellite systems, set-top
converters and other IR controlled home
theater or home automation equipment.

Pre-Programmed Functions

The AVR35RDS remote is programmed at
the factory to operate the AVR35RDS, as
well as most Harman Kardon CD players
and cassette decks.
To operate the AVR35RDS, be certain that
you have pressed the
AVR Selector b
so that the red light illuminates under
the AVR button. Note that the red light
will also flash briefly whenever a remote
command button is pressed.
To operate a comparable Harman
Kardon CD player or cassette deck, press
the appropriate
Device Control
Selector c . The red light under the
CD or Tape button will illuminate briefly
to confirm your selection, and the light
will flash whenever a button is pushed
that has a function for these products.

Note that when using a CD player or
tape deck, you will find that many of the
buttons have markings on the remote
that indicate both their AVR function
as well as their CD or TAPE function.
For example, the
Preset Up/Down
buttons u are the fast forward or
rewind buttons for a cassette deck or the
track forward/back skip buttons for a CD
player. The Transport Controls w
operate the standard forward and reverse
play, pause/record and stop functions,
depending on the type of machine in use.
The buttons operate the disk

skip function on CD changers, and the
Numeric Keys n may operate the
numeric select functions on CD players.
Other buttons on the remote with addi-
tional markings above or below the
button may have these dual functions.
There is no harm in experimenting to
see which buttons operate with your
specific Harman Kardon equipment.
Alternate Harman Kardon
CD Player Code
In some cases, the CD player codes that
are programmed at the factory may not
operate your Harman Kardon CD player.
In that case, follow these steps to pro-
gram an alternate set of codes.
1. Press the

3. Press the
CD Device Control
once, and note that the red
Selector
LED under the CD button and the
Program/Command Indicator
blink twice to confirm that the new code
has been stored, and then they will both
go out.
4. If the new codes still do not operate
the CD player, you may program the
functions from the CD player's own
remote into the AVR35RDS remote using
the steps outlined below.
Learning Commands From
Another Remote
In addition to it's preprogrammed
functions, the AVR35RDS remote may
be taught to learn the commands from
almost any infrared remote that is used
to operate audio, video, home theater or
home automation equipment. This
enables the AVR35RDS remote, once pro-
grammed, to replace a collection of
remotes, and operate your entire enter-
tainment system from one, powerful
button at
`
command center.
Learning Commands
The process of learning commands with
the AVR35RDS remote is simple, and feed-
back is provided during the process so that
you have the assurance that commands
have been properly stored.
